Keep On
Brady Bunch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh Yeah (ooh)
Beautiful morning and it's gonna be a beautiful day.
The wheels are humming,
The guitar strumming.
The radio a blasting,
The good times a coming.
We're gonna keep on, keep on, keep on singing and dancing all through the night.
Keep on, keep on, keep on doing it right.
We're gonna keep on, keep on , keep on moving,
We're gonna keep on, keep on, keep on grooving.
Keep on singing and dancing all through the night.
You can hear the music from a hundred miles away
The opening lines of the song "Riding down the highway in a makeshift Model T.A., ooh yeah; beautiful morning and it's gonna be a beautiful day" are indicative of a sense of freedom, adventure, and joy that comes with being on the road with your friends. The phrase "make-shift Model T.A." provides a sense of the community and team building that comes with roughing it, and trying to make do with limited resources. The openness of the highway, and the beautiful day, provide the opportunity for the group to let loose and enjoy the moment.
The lyrics describe the way in which music allows us to escape and lose ourselves in the moment, strumming and singing along with the radio. The phrase "the good times a coming" is a nod to the concept of shared experiences, joy, and celebrations that come with being surrounded by friends, family, and a great song.
The chorus "Keep on, keep on, keep on singing and dancing all through the night" describes the endless energy of youth, and a commitment to joy and fun. The idea of doing things "right" indicates an ethical grounding, and the phrase "keep on, keep on moving" suggests a readiness to explore new experiences, and a commitment to pushing forward in spite of difficulties. All in all, the song represents a kind of celebration of youthful adventure, community, and empowerment through music.

Loved watching them the first time around, and equally to this day so many years later. It makes the world a little softer for a brief moment.

In real life all three of the girls would have been sexually abused. Probably. But lets all just bury our heads in the sand
@Grazie76gw
We can make the world a whole lot brighter we can make the load a little lighter ❤❤❤

You should checkout The Real Brady Bros podcast. Chris and Barry talk about various episodes and do a Q&A.

I don't sing to it. I turn the volume down. Too much sugar isn't good for you...
@shmuli9
I saw the Brady Kids "in concert" at the Seattle Arena when I was about 6. They actually had prettyy good choreography and Maureen, Barry, and Susan could actually sing quite well.
@jukingeo
Yes, they all could sing well. As a kid, I recalled having the Brady Bunch Christmas album and they did an excellent job on that one. In fact, back then, it was my favorite holiday album for a long time.
@shmuli9
@Diaval My fave Christmas album is probably "Merry Christmas from the Supremes".
