Venus In Blue Jeans
Jimmy Clanton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mona Lisa with a ponytail
She's walkin' talkin' work of art
She's the girl who stole my heart
My Venus in blue jeans
Is the Cinderella I adore
She's my very special angel, too
A fairy tale come true
They say there's seven wonders in the world
But what they say is out of date
There's more than seven wonders in the world
I just met number eight
My Venus in blue jeans
Is everything I hoped she'd be
A teenage goddess from above
And she belongs to me
My Venus in blue jeans
Is everything I hoped she'd be
A teenage goddess from above
And she belongs to me

Hebrew Word - ืืจืึธื - Yirah- Fear
Have you ever watched a sunrise or a sunset and stood in awe? Have you ever camped under the Milky Way and been in awe of the night sky and the sheer number of stars? If you're a parent, I bet you're still in awe of the miracle of childbirth.
The Hebrew word we translate as "awe" is yirah, which means
"respect, reverence, and worship." But, yirah also means "fear." It's the word used in Proverbs 9:10, which reads, "The fear (yirah) of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom." I grew up thinking "fear the Lord" meant to be afraid of Him--to be scared. I was never quite sure what I was supposed to be afraid of, so I assumed it was because He could crush me at any moment (which is true, I guess, but I had a feeling that was not it).
When you watch a sunset or stand on the shore of an ocean, you don't feel fear- you feel awe and reverence. You feel yirah. Having the type of awe and reverence for God that motivates you to do His will is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. Do you fear the Lord that way?

Jimmy lived in and was a disk jockey at the same radio station here in my hometown from 1972-1976, that I hung out at as a young teenager 10 years earlier here in Columbia, Pennsylvania.. I cannot believe I was so busy working all the time, in addition to having fun, that I never knew he was here, otherwise I would have surely met him.. and maybe hung out at the station with him a few times.

That's not the same "Sandy" whose his 'Go, Johnny Go !' (1959) singer co-star Sandy Stewart who also has a lovely voice on her hits back then, Heavenly Father,Up Above & Playmate ?
In tonight interview with legendary WABC DJ, "Cousin Brucie" he mentioned when he was recording an album session in 1958, the keyboard player was Dick Holler ( don't know if it was the same one who later wrote Abraham, Martin and John, both hits for Blues singer, Big Mama Thornton & Dion's last big hit of his in 1968)
