'Long Come Tutu
Al Jarreau/George Benson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s kicking its groove for miles
It always make me grin
No matter what mood I’m in
You know what makes me smile
It’s kicking its groove for miles
It always makes me grin
A long, long time
We were waiting
A long, long time
Still awaiting
[Incomprehensible]
'Long come tutu
'Long come tutu
Long, long time
Of awaiting
Before the light
We were praying
[Incomprehensible]
'Long come tutu
A long, long time
We were waiting
A long, long time
Still awaiting
[Incomprehensible]
'Long come tutu
'Long come tutu
'Long come tutu
The chorus of "Long Come Tutu" is a repetitive verse that repeats the phrase "long come tutu" over and over again. While the phrase itself doesn't hold any significant meaning, it's clear that Al Jarreau and George Benson are using it as a way to express their eagerness and anticipation for something that's taking a long time to happen. The verses leading up to the chorus express the idea that no matter what mood they may be in, listening to music that has a good groove and makes them dance and smile will always lift their spirits.
The verses also reference waiting and praying for something, which further emphasizes the idea of anticipation and hopefulness. The repetitiveness of the chorus gives the song a hypnotic quality, which is fitting considering the song's focus on getting lost in the groove and finding joy in music.

Trop bon !
Mis à part la qualité de Benson et Al Jarreau qui n'est pas à prouver, l'efficacité et la relative simplicité de l'écriture musicale de Miles Davis est à son top dans ce morceau mythique !
Quel groove !
