Blue Shoes Lucy

[Ray Brookes]

Just some comedic relief in the shape of 1950's rock n roll.

Blue Shoes Lucy loved to dance that rock n roll
Pretty as a picture just twenty years old
Knew all the steps. She knew all the moves
Knew all the songs. She knew all the grooves
But once on the dance floor not so sweet
Blue Shoes Lucy had two left feet

In many a dance-hall she spent many an hour
Watching from the sides. Lucy Wallflower
Every partner she asked always had excuses
No-one would dance with Blue Shoes Lucy.
They knew when she danced she couldn't keep the beat
Blue Shoes Lucy had two left feet

Then one dance night in a downtown hall
In walked a stranger six foot tall
Had a look around for someone to dance with
Maybe even start just a little romancing
He walked across to Lucy she said "I can't keep a beat"
He said "Never mind, honey I got two right feet.

Well they danced and they twirled around the dance floor
All the other dancers stopped to applaud
They danced all the steps all the twists all the hops
All the lifts, the splits, the twirls and the bops
And the moral of the story in case you have to ask
It's true what they say – opposite attracts.

Brilliant!  I think she taught me to dance..

Love it all but I LOVE the double-stop (?) guitar lines at the end.  Beautifully played.

big smile on my face...got bigger all the way through the song...fun.
the production is totally pro...

love the piano and the guitar at the end...and all those sound effects for the left footedness...

[Blooby]

The two left feet interludes were absolutely brilliant. Great period correct tones and some lovely playing. Really dug the Les Paulisms toward the end. Killer vocal as well. Loved this to pieces.

I read "Just some comedic relief in the shape of 1950's rock n roll." and kinda knew what I was going to get...

... and I did, sounds exactly like I was expecting, superb, and....

WOAH! wassat?

Brilliant.

The Les Paulisms got me at the end too... please tell me they were harmony parts, not double-stops, surely you can't play double-stops that fast?!?!?
