The lyrics of "Sugar Shuffle" by 小林麻美 capture feelings of nostalgia, longing, and desire for a romantic lover. The song starts with the repeated phrase "Woo Woo Do The Sugar Shuffle," which is a call to dance, let go, and live in the present moment. However, the following lines paint a picture of loneliness and despair, as the singer feels stuck in a snowstorm, with no one coming to save her. The first occurrence of "Sugar Shuffle" seems to represent a desire for something sweet and comforting to alleviate the singer's pain.
The second verse introduces the theme of memory, with the image of a kiss landing on a cloudy glass. The reference to a "mountain of hot waves" indicates that the singer's emotions are turbulent and overpowering. The lyrics then shift to the present moment, where the singer is listening to the radio and searching for news about the person she's thinking of. The repeated chorus of "Woo Woo Do The Sugar Shuffle" provides a sense of rhythm and momentum, as if the singer is trying to dance away her troubles.
The final verse takes us back to the past, with the singer dreaming of her 18-year-old self and reminiscing about a time when she could have fallen in love. However, the realization that "even if we had met back then, I wouldn't have been able to love you enough" suggests that the singer has regrets and unfinished business with this person. The last line of the song mentions an expired passport and a desire to travel forever with the person she's thinking of. Overall, "Sugar Shuffle" is a bittersweet reflection on love, loss, and the power of memories.

This song slowly absorbs me into a pleasant snow storm that calms me and drifts me away from the stress of reality.....
@colinyates5540
A different feeling to Lynsey's version...it transports me in a slightly surreal way. But Lynsey is still the top of the pops for me. God bless her.

So, so good, just sweeps you away.

A Lynsey de Paul tribute band, really, under the added noise ,sounds like sampled vocals. Love Lynsey don't need a second rate copy.
