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 ↴
You sounded frantic when you said "Come over, right away"
Oh, baby, baby, won't you say what's on your mind?
Your TV set is acting up and you don't understand
You're so upset because you can't watch "All My Children" and
You wonder if there's something I can do for you
Baby, I can rocket to you
Honey, the only thing I can do
Baby, I can rocket all night (rock the night away)
One thing I know I can do (I can rocket to you!)
Don't call me when your car just can't get into second gear
Or when your kitchen sink is shooting water in your ear
Oh, baby, baby, I have told you this before
Is there a special reason that you just can't understand
I'm not the one to call when you need a heavy man
Unless whatever needs fixing, girl, is you
And I just have to say...
Baby, I can rocket to you (I can rocket to you)
Honey, the only thing I can do
Baby, I can rocket all night (rock the night away)
One thing I know I can do (I can rocket to you!)
Don't call me when your toaster won't pop up
Don't call me just to cut your lawn
Don't call me when your radio cuts off
In the middle of your favorite song
Don't call me when your shower just went
Uh-uh, no, baby, don't call me
I think I told you this about a million times
You know, it's not my cup of tea
I can rocket to you
The only thing I can do
I can rocket all night
I can rocket to you, baby
Let me rocket to ya, oh yeah
Just a little bit more
Baby, I can rocket to you (I can rocket to you)
Honey, the only thing I can do
Baby, I can rocket all night (it's all that I can say)
One thing I know I can do (that's all that I can do)
Baby, I can rocket to you (I can rocket)
Honey, the only thing I can do (it's all that I can do)
Baby, I can rocket all night
One thing I know I can do (baby, I can rocket to you)
Baby, I can rocket to you
Honey, the only thing I can do
Baby, I can rocket all night
One thing I know I can do
The Jets’s song “Rocket 2 U” is about love and how the singer is always willing to be there for their partner when they need them. The song begins with the singer receiving a frantic call from their partner asking them to come over. In response, the singer asks what’s on their partner’s mind and later finds out it’s because their partner’s TV set is acting up and they can’t watch their favorite show. The singer tells their partner that they can rocket to them and stay with them all night long, promising to fix the problem.
However, the singer also sets some boundaries in the song. They tell their partner not to call them over for small household problems like a toaster that won’t pop up, when their radio cuts off in the middle of a favorite song, or when their shower doesn't work. The singer tells their partner that they’re only the right person to call when their partner is the issue that needs fixing, implying that they're there for emotional support.
Overall, “Rocket 2 U” presents a picture of a person who is willing to be there for their partner through thick and thin, but it also shows that they know where to draw the line when it comes to their partner’s needs.
