Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts
Jitterbug into my brain
But something's bugging you
Something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
Left me sleepin' in my bed
I was dreaming, but I should have been with you instead.
Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah)
You take the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same
'Cause you're my lady, I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on, baby, let's not fight
We'll go dancing, everything will be all right
Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin" on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah, baby)
(Jitterbug)
(Jitterbug)
Cuddle up, baby, move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there, but it's warm in bed
They can dance, we'll stay home instead
(Jitterbug)
Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
Wake me up before you go-go, don't you dare to leave me hanging on like a
yo-yo
Take me dancing
(Boom-boom-boom)
The Pomplamoose's song Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go is about a romantic relationship that is full of ups and downs. The lyrics describe the passion and excitement of being in love, as well as the frustrations and insecurities that can arise when things go wrong. The song opens with the phrase "jitterbug," which is a dance from the 1930s that was popularized in the swing era. The word "jitterbug" is used throughout the song to evoke the jittery feeling of falling in love.
The chorus of the song is a plea to the singer's lover to not leave them and to wake them up before they go-go. The singer doesn't want to be left hanging on like a yo-yo and doesn't want to miss out on the high that comes from being with their lover. The verses describe how the lover makes the singer feel, taking away the grey skies and making the sun shine brighter. However, there's also a sense of unease and betrayal, as the singer's friend has told them that their lover did something wrong the night before. Despite this, the singer still wants to dance with their lover and make things right.

I love the way you add slightly obscure chords into these covers and create something totally new despite retaining the basic structure of the original.

The two of you dancing together is the most adorable thing I have ever seen.
