Yes Indeed
David Olney and The X-Rays Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yes indeed, yes indeed
I've got that feeling in me, yes indeed
You will shout when it hits you, yes indeed
Yes, you'll shout when it hits you, yes indeed
When that spirit moves you, you will shout "hallelujah!"
When it hits you, you'll holler, yes indeed
It comes out if it's in you, yes indeed
It makes you shout Jack, it sends you, yes indeed
When that jive starts jumpin' you will shout "let me in there!"
When it hits you you'll holler, yes indeed
Yes you'll shout when it hits you, yes indeed
It comes out if it's in you yes indeed
Yes indeed, yes indeed
I've got that feeling in me, yes indeed
When that spirit moves you you will shout "hallelujah!"




When it hits you, when it hits you
When it hits you, yes indeed

Overall Meaning

The final repetition of "when it hits you, yes indeed" is a powerful affirmation of the transformative power of music.

Just so everyone knows, the 1st
fastest finger question of this episode had an error.

The show had the answers in the wrong order.
The real order was this.
D, C, B, A.

Oliver Wade who made the same mistake they did won.

But he got to keep his $32,000.
The real winner was Christopher Liptrap.

So, he'll come back on september 21st for
a special 1½ hour of MILLIONAIRE.

Is that Chad mosher 28:46? He said hi thanks a lot😂

@TheGameShowChannel

I imagine he was younger than that, but hi, thanks a lot!

@jonathannorton6558

I can't believe that this was a messed up first fastest finger question on this episode about the movies based on novels when Oliver Wade guessed C-D-B-A while Christopher Liptrap guessed D-C-B-A. I can't wait to watch Christopher Liptrap's appearance on the September 21st 2000 episode of Millionaire very soon and/or in the near future.

@Computerman859

Warosm mentioned in the description that the full credits were pretty important. Now I realized how significant it was; there was a fastest finger error which allowed a contestant (who was the real winner based on the proper order) to come back in the future.

@ericl.massey7254

59:18 Full Credits on this? It’s been a while since this happened.

@DJMikey242

Full credits on this episode, because of the explanation at the end, I assume.

54:58 wow. Only 11% of the audience correct. I guess that question is now out-of-date since Star passed away in 2022.
