And The Beat Goes On
JoJo Effect Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drums keep pounding
A rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da
Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
[Chorus]
The grocery store's the super mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score
[Chorus]
Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry, "Hey buddy,
Have you got a dime?"
[Chorus]
"The Beat Goes On" by JoJo Effect is a cover of Sonny and Cher's classic hit from the 60s. The song has a pop jazz feel with a loungey vibe that creates a pleasant atmosphere. The lyrics talk about the ever-changing nature of society and how time flies, but the beat continues to go on. The song starts with the lines "The beat goes on, the beat goes on, drums keep pounding, a rhythm to the brain," which means that even as things change around us, the rhythmic beat of life continues.
The following lines mention some of the changes that have happened in society, such as the Charleston dance was once the rave, but now mini skirts and teeny boppers are in. The line "Electrically they keep a baseball score" refers to the increased use of technology in sports. The chorus of the song repeats the line "The beat goes on" and emphasizes the idea of the constant rhythm of life.
The final verse talks about how some things never change despite societal advancements. Grandmas still reminisce, boys still chase girls, and bums still beg for money. This verse juxtaposes with the rest of the song's idea of change as it shows that despite advancements, some things still hold steadfast in their traditions.
Overall the song conveys a message of the continuous nature of life, how things change, but life continues to move forward, and we must move with it.
