Jive Bunny's three number ones were "Swing the Mood", "That's What I Like" and "Let's Party". All three songs used sampling and synthesisers to combine pop music from the early rock and roll era together into a medley. The results were somewhat like the earlier Stars on 45, who actually hired "sound-alike" singers and musicians to recreate the music from scratch.

Jive Bunny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She didn't see me creep
Down the stairs to have a peek
She thought that I was tucked up
In my bedroom fast asleep
Then I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
Then I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night (I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus)
