Belushi and Aykroyd, respectively in character as lead vocalist "Joliet" Jake Blues and harpist/vocalist Elwood Blues, fronted the band, which was composed of well-known and respected musicians. The band made its debut as the musical guest on the April 22, 1978, episode of "Saturday Night Live".
The band then began to take on a life beyond the confines of the television screen, releasing their debut album, "Briefcase Full of Blues", in 1978, and subsequently having a Hollywood film, "The Blues Brothers" (and associated soundtrack album, "The Blues Brothers: Original Soundtrack Recording""), created around its characters in 1980.
1980 also saw the release of their second album "Made in America". It was the last recording the band would make with Belushi's "Jake Blues".
After the death of Belushi in 1982, the "Blues Brothers" have continued to perform with a rotation of guest singers and other band members. The original band reformed in 1988 for a world tour and again in 1998 for a sequel to the original film, "Blues Brothers 2000". It makes regular appearances at musical festivals worldwide.
Gimme Some Lovin'
Blues Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well my temperature's rising and my feet on the floor
Twenty people rockin' and there want to go more
Let me in baby, I don't know what you've got
but you'd better take it easy, this place is hot
So glad we made it
So glad we made it
Gimme some lovin' (Gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' (Gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin'
Everyday
Hey hey
Hey!
Well I feel so good, everything is sellin' high
You'd better take it ease cause the place is on fire
It's been a hard day and I don't know what to do
We made it baby and it happened to you
And I'm
So glad we made it
So glad we made it
You gotta
Gimme some lovin' (Gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin' (Gimme gimme some lovin')
Gimme some lovin'
Everyday
The Blues Brothers' song "Gimme Some Lovin'" is a high-energy track that perfectly captures the spirit of rock 'n' roll. The opening lines set the scene for a wild night of dancing and partying, with the singer's temperature rising and twenty people already on the dance floor. The urgency and energy of the song are conveyed through the repeated refrain of "Gimme some lovin'," which becomes an almost hypnotic chant throughout the track.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become increasingly frenzied, with talk of the place being "on fire" and the singer needing to take it easy. Yet despite the chaos around them, the singer and their partner are "so glad we made it." This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the spirit of rock music, with its focus on living in the moment and taking risks.
The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that in the world of rock 'n' roll, sometimes all you need is a little bit of love to keep going. Overall, the song is a celebration of the raw, primal energy of rock music and the joy and excitement it can bring.

the Belushi's voice is eternal. I love this song.
@justinwalker4475
yeah baby :)
@AriOrSomething
You earned $200 from the show, and you drank $300 worth of beer.
@punknoodles0
@Mr nobody Returns With today's market, $300 ain't much divided among the whole band.
@Bennahr_Fett
@@punknoodles0 In 1980 not the modern 20s
@rosalitabender6910
@Stefano Pavone He never specifically says how much they owe him, he just says they drank 200 worth of beer.
@jcarry5214
@Stefano Pavone If you have zero then 100 is equally as impossible as 1000
@MoviePro84
@Stefano Pavone Yeah, but they didn't even have the money for that.
@chadmears136
