Blues Brothers - Jake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey!
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
You gotta

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

Overall Meaning

The Blues Brothers' version of "Gimme Some Lovin'" starts off with an energetic and upbeat instrumental opening before Jake, the lead vocalist, starts singing. The opening line "Hey!" immediately captures the listener's attention and sets the tone for the song. The lyrics express an intense desire for love and affection, as Jake's "temperature is rising" and he wants to be let into a hot and crowded place to rock out. He encourages the crowd to give him some love and repeats the phrase "Gimme some lovin'" throughout the song's chorus.


The verses describe the intensity of the situation, with the energy levels "selling high" and the place "on fire." Jake expresses that it's been a hard day, but making it to this point is worth it because they have each other. The repeated refrain of being "so glad we made it" emphasizes the importance of unity and finding love and happiness in a world that can be tough to navigate. The song ultimately encourages listeners to let loose, enjoy the moment, and give in to their desire for love and connection.

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.

RIP John Belushi 1949-1982 🙏 🙏 He was a great actor as Jake Blues for the Blues brothers!!! It’s so sad that he passed away at 33.... 😭
