Willie And The Hand Jive
The Bunch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He got a cool little chick named Rockin' Billie
Do you walk and stroll with Susie Q
And do that crazy hand jive too?
Papa told Willie "you'll ruin my home
You and that hand jive has got to go"
Willie said "papa, don't put me down
Hand jive, hand jive
Hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive
Mama, mama, look at uncle Joe, look at him
He's doin' that hand jive with sister Flo
Even gave baby sister a dime, hey, hey
Said "do that hand jive one more time"
Well, a doctor and a lawyer and a indian chief
They all dig that crazy beat
Way-Out Willie gave them all a treat, yeah
When he did the hand jive with his feet
Hand jive, hand jive
Hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive, hey, hey
Come on, sugar, yeah!
Well, Willie and Billie got married last fall
They had a little Willie Junior and that ain't all
You know that baby got greatness and it's plain to see, hey, hey
Doin' that hand jive on T.V., come on
Hand jive, hand jive
(Why don't you) hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive
Hey, hey, well
Yeah, yeah
The Bunch's song Willie and the Hand Jive is a fun, upbeat tune that celebrates the popular dance craze of the 1950s- the Hand Jive. The lyrics tell the story of Way-Out Willie, a guy who loves to dance and his girlfriend Rockin' Billie. They are joined by other characters such as Susie Q, Uncle Joe, Sister Flo, and even Baby Sister, who all love to do the hand jive. However, Willie's father is not a fan of the hand jive and thinks it's ruining his home. But Willie defends his love for dancing, saying he has been doing the hand jive all over town. The song also mentions a doctor, a lawyer, and an Indian chief, who all enjoy the hand jive, and how Way-Out Willie impresses them all by doing it with his feet.
The song's lyrics are filled with imagery and playfulness that capture the spirit of the hand-jive dance craze. It is a song about freedom of expression, youthful rebellion, and finding joy in music and dancing. The catchy repetition of the hand-jive lyrics and the upbeat rhythm make the song a perfect dance number, even after all these years.
