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.

The Jets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a line that wasn't true
And you pass them by {Pass them by}
Now you're in the center ring
And their lines don't mean a thing
Why don't you let me try {Let me try}
Now I don't have a diamond ring
All I know is
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la means I love you
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la means I love you
If I ever saw a girl
That I needed in this world
You are the one for me {One for me}
Let me hold you in my arms
Girl, and fill me with your charms
I'm sure you will see {You will see}
The things I am saying are true
And the way I explain them to you
Listen to me
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la means I love you
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la means I love you
The things I am saying are true
And the way I explain them to you {Yes, to you}
Listen to me
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la means I love you (Hoo, I love you)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la means I love you
{Even though I don't have a ring, you're my everything}
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la means I love you (Ooh, I love you)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la means I love you
{Even though I don't have a ring, you're my everything}
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la means I love you (Ooh, I love you)
The Jets's song "La La Means I Love You" is a charming love ballad that highlights the importance of sincerity and authenticity in a relationship. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer has been approached by numerous girls who have used insincere lines to try and win his affection, but he has been able to see through their schemes and ignore them. However, when he sets his sights on a particular girl, he recognizes that their connection is genuine, and he wants to make his feelings for her clear.
The chorus of the song, which features the repeated phrase "la la means I love you," is a simple yet effective way of communicating the singer's emotions to his beloved. He acknowledges that he may not have material possessions or a grand gesture to offer her, but he has something much more valuable: true affection and devotion. The song's final lines drive home the message that the singer's love is not dependent on external factors, but rather is a deep-seated feeling that will remain constant even if he never gets to put a ring on her finger.
Overall, "La La Means I Love You" is a sweet and straightforward ode to honest feelings and meaningful connections. Its emphasis on sincerity and simplicity makes it a timeless classic that still resonates with listeners today.

Many girls have come to you
You've had many women come to you
With a line that wasn't true
They gave you false lines
And you pass them by {Pass them by}
You ignored them
Now you're in the center ring
But now you're the focus
And their lines don't mean a thing
Their words have lost their meaning
Why don't you let me try {Let me try}
Let me give it a shot
Now I don't have a diamond ring
I don't have extravagant gifts to offer
I don't even have a song to sing
I lack the ability to serenade you
All I know is
But all that really matters is
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la means I love you
That these simple, repeated sounds mean "I love you"

Let me embrace you
Girl, and fill me with your charms
Capture me with your allure
I'm sure you will see {You will see}
I am certain you will come to understand

They do such a great job with this song. The Delphonics would certainly approve.

This song should've came out as a single back in the days. They did such a great job covering the song and it's one of my favorites of theirs. :)

I've listened to many different versions tonight and I must say every version has impressed the hell out of me so far.

Now I know the original version sung by the Delfonics. But at the age of 12 Elizabeth really had a mature voice, not taking anything away from the Delfonics, I really like this version
