The band's style is a mixture of country music, rockabilly, and blues. Their marathon live shows were legendary, but many felt that the spirit of those performances was never fully captured in the band's recordings.

Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fell in love at the fais-do-do
The pop was cold and the coffee chaud
For Diggy Liggy Li and Diggy Liggy Lo.
Refrain:
Diggy Liggy Li loved Diggy Liggy Lo
Everyone knew he was her beau
So much love for Diggy Liggy Lo.
There's a place they find romance
Where they do the Cajun dance
Steal a kiss with ev'ry chance
Show their love with ev'ry glance.
Refrain
Finally went to see her Pa
Now he's got a Pa-in-law
Moved out where the Bayou's low
Now he's got a little Diggy Liggy Lo.

The song "Diggy Liggy Lo" by Commander Cody is a light-hearted love song that tells the story of two lovers, Diggy Liggy Li and Diggy Liggy Lo, who fall in love at a fais-do-do (a Cajun dance party) in Louisiana. The lyrics speak of their love for each other and how their relationship grows stronger each day. The pop was cold and the coffee chaud (hot), setting the scene for a warm and cozy atmosphere where the two lovers meet. The chorus repeats the names of the two in love, reinforcing their connection and the fact that their love is unmatched.
The second verse talks about the lovebirds finding romance on the dance floor, where they do the Cajun dance and steal kisses with every chance they get. The lyrics suggest that their love is playful and fun - it's not just about the romantic gestures or grand gestures. Instead, it's about the little moments and interactions that make their relationship special.
The final verse is about Diggy Liggy Li's father accepting Diggy Liggy Lo as his son-in-law. It's implied that the couple moves to a place where the Bayou's low (a lowland area covered in water), they have a new home and a new life, and they're happy together.
