1. The Jets are a family band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, composed of brothers and sisters who specialize in pop, R&B, and dance music, particularly Latin freestyle.
The group officially formed in 1985, with the original lineup fizzling out by 1990. Several members of the family stayed on throughout the 1990s, unofficially reviving the group in the mid to late 1990s as a gospel outfit with most of the original members present.
Various record companies have released collections of songs from the group's popular period, while the modern incarnation of the group continues to perform at various small venues, primarily casinos and private corporate functions.
2. The Jets formed in Utrecht, Netherlands in 1958 as The Rocking Explosives and debuted on stage in 1960. Their instrumental guitarmusic sounded similar to The Shadows. They renamed the band to The Jets in 1963. The group had a big hit in Japan with an instrumental version of 'Goldfinger' under the name The Goldfingers (due to another band in Japan called The Jets). In 1966 The Jets were aiming for succes in England and recorded the single The Pied Piper, a later hit in the version by Crispian St. Peters. The Jets reformed in 1982 and still performs today.
3. Great pop has not been as prominent this decade as in the last but songwritters Graham and Mick are helping to remedy that. It's obvious they share the thoughts and dreams of John, Paul, The Hollies and Dave Clark. Both cuts are previously released as a single, TTR 7805.

Curiosity
The Jets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Curiosity, I've got to know
Is she just a play thing?
Curiosity, I want to know
Baby can I pull your string?
At every dance, she is on your arm
You even let her drive your car
But you're telling me that I'm the one that's on your mind
When she took a walk to the ladies room
You didn't hesitate to run to me
I don't want to be caught in the middle of you
But your charm keeps gettin the best of me
[Chorus]
Curiosity
Curiosity
When you get home out of the socialite
You call me with the same excuse
I get upet, but you talk so smooth
Got me running round in circles feeling so confused
One thing that I've learned is to be careful what you're wishing for
Cause what you receive isn't always what you need
But you are the star in all my dreams
[Chorus: x2]
[Repeat: x2]
Baby, I don't want to be just a play thing
Baby, I've got to have it all
[Chorus]
The Jets's song "Curiosity" is about the singer's internal conflict over wanting to know if she is just a casual fling of her love interest or if he sees her as someone more significant. The singer is torn between her feelings for the man and her fear of getting caught in between him and another woman who he is currently in a relationship with. Throughout the song, the singer expresses her frustration over being strung along by the man who uses smooth words and empty promises to keep her hooked. She wants to know the truth and demands clarity so that she can make an informed decision about her own life.
The chorus "Curiosity, I've got to know/Is she just a play thing?/Curiosity, I want to know/Baby can I pull your string?" is a testament to the singer's desire to uncover the truth and figure out where she stands in the man's life. She acknowledges the risks involved in pursuing someone who is already in a relationship with another person but is determined to find out the truth so that she can move on with her life. The lyrics reflect the universal human experience of uncertainty in relationships and the struggle to balance emotions with rational thinking.
Line by Line Meaning
Curiosity, I've got to know
I'm very curious about this situation and I need to get some answers
Is she just a play thing?
Are you treating her as nothing more than a toy or a silly game?
Curiosity, I want to know
My curiosity about you is growing and I really want to understand what's going on
Baby can I pull your string?
Can I control you or manipulate you just like you seem to do with her?
At every dance, she is on your arm
You always show up with her and put her in the spotlight
You even let her drive your car
You're giving her access to things that are important to you
She wears your ring, you treat her oh so fine
You're showering her with gifts and treating her very well
But you're telling me that I'm the one that's on your mind
Despite all that, you're still thinking about me and seeking my attention and affection
When she took a walk to the ladies room
When she briefly left your side
You didn't hesitate to run to me
You immediately came to me and tried to be with me instead
I don't want to be caught in the middle of you
I don't want to be involved in your possible love triangle
But your charm keeps gettin the best of me
However, you're so charming and seductive that it's hard for me to resist you
When you get home out of the socialite
Once you're done with your public socializing
You call me with the same excuse
You use the same lame excuse to get me to come over to your place
I get upet, but you talk so smooth
I get angry and frustrated, but you know how to sweet-talk me and calm me down
Got me running round in circles feeling so confused
You're messing with my head and emotions, causing me to feel lost and uncertain
One thing that I've learned is to be careful what you're wishing for
I've realized that sometimes what we want may not be what's actually good for us
Cause what you receive isn't always what you need
Sometimes you may get what you asked for, but it may not satisfy or fulfill you
But you are the star in all my dreams
Despite the confusion and doubts, you still hold a special place in my heart and thoughts
Baby, I don't want to be just a play thing
I don't want to be treated as a disposable object or a casual fling
Baby, I've got to have it all
I want a serious and committed relationship with you, not just bits and pieces of your attention and affection
Curiosity
My curiosity about you and your intentions keeps growing
Curiosity
I'm getting more and more curious and fascinated by this intriguing situation
