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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
I guess you'd say

My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got so much honey the bees envy me

Hey hey hey

Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
