Debuted in 1963 with an adaptation of a traditional song (just as The Cousins did with Kili-Watch) : for them it was the folk-traditional "Ik zag Cecilia komen", (I say Ceilia coming) which became "Cecilia Rock" in their version.
The Jokers concentrated on the instrumental work, with Shadows-like songs as "Tabou", "Ronny Boy" and "Gemini Boogie". Guitar-player Ronny Sigo is called the Belgian Hank Marvin in "Wit-lof from Belgium". Their singles all shared a formula : a charming instrumental rock on the A-side, on the flipside a slow song, a mix between the Shadows and James Last.
They conquered Flanders easily, but also had success in Germany and Spain (where they recorded an album in stereo, a rarity for 1962). Even in Japan, where they released a Christmas-album, they became popular in the slipstream of the American band The Ventures. Worldwide, they have sold 850.000 copies of their albums.
Ronny Sigo is quoted as saying "We where very young when the success came. I was only 15 at the time. That's a hard thing to get to grips with at that age. With a better management and promotion, the Jokers would have been even bigger."
From 1967 they turned mellow and ended the group 2 years later.

Their debut album The Big Rock & Roll Show was mixed by Mike Fraser who has previously worked with Aerosmith, AC/DC, Van Halen, Metallica and Joe Satriani amongst others.
The band formed in 2006 with the aim of "creating the worlds greatest Rock & Roll band". A rather bold asperation, but The Big Rock & Roll Show is a mighty fine start

Down By The Riverside
The Jokers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
بسعى لده ع قد ما بقدر
لا
كل ما اجى انام فوق صدرك اشوف عليه جماجم
اذاى انا تانى فارس لما كل الناس دى ماتت
اسكت
اسحبينى بعنف للعمق اللى بغرق فيه
طول ما انا ميت فيكى مش محتاج للاكسجين
الواقع غامق فى الواقع فمتداريش غمقانه
احمد بوظ اللوحة خد يا جوكر لونهاله
اهو كده . الاسود لون نفوس الناس اللى هنا
مش قادرة تآمن فـ محتاجة تبقى متأكده
ها
عندك جنة توريهالها ؟ . ولا اعتمادك انها مؤمنة لو كده
فـ الناس هايبة جهنم مش حابة ربنا
لا
طب ليه اسماعيل ساعد ابراهيم وطاطى للسكينه ؟
مش كلهم ابن نوح . نوح مش لوحده ع السفينة
زمن المعجزات انتهى . الناس حاطه القوانين بنفسها
عايز البار كله يصقفلك اشرب الازازة كلها
من امتى شيطانا ادانا . غير اللى نأذى بيه اللى اذانا
سيبونا نأسس اليوتوبيا ع اطراف الغابة
لو فشلنا ادينا حاولنا . ده هيدى الامل لغيرنا
ع الاقل سيب سجاده لغيرك ف اتجاه القبله
معقولة صحتك فبتحاربنى . علشان صاحبتك عايز تسيبنى
انا لولا زرعت فيك الكره كنت ميت قدام مني
انت مش فلتة . ده انا اللى عملتك
ده لولايا مكنتش الناس ادمنت تشوف بعدستك
دى مش عدستى . عدستك انت . انا هنا من زمن . انت من امتى . خليتنى كرهت كل حاجه . مستغرب ليه من كوني كرهتك ؟
تكرهني انا . تكرهني ليه ؟
ده لولايا انا كان زمانك فين كان زمانك لسه بتكتب سلمى الجزء الالفين
شكراً ليك . كنت مرحلة . بعد كده علاقاتى هعرف اختارها
تصدق حتى اني بفكر وقت ضيقتى الجأ للصلاة!
وانا كنت بعدتك عن ربنا ؟ . لا ده انا قربتك اكتر ليه
انا كرهتك فينا علشان ف الواقع كلنا وحشين
لا دا انت اقنعتنى انى شيطان وكتفتنى علشان معرفش اغير حاجه
فمن ساعتها مفيش حاجه بتتبنى
الدنيا غابة . ما هى اختبار . نفس وانا عليا . وف اختيار
ويمكن توبه بعد جبل ذنوب تنجينا من النار
من امتى شيطانا ادانا . غير اللى نأذى بيه اللى اذانا
سيبونا نأسس اليوتوبيا ع اطراف الغابة
لو فشلنا ادينا حاولنا . ده هيدى الامل لغيرنا
ع الاقل سيب سجاده لغيرك ف اتجاه القبله
The lyrics to Down By The Riverside by The Joker's convey a range of emotions and ideas, but at the core, the song tackles themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. The singer, first and foremost, declares their love to someone and their primary concern is the person's happiness. However, they also acknowledge that the reality of the world can be dark and difficult to navigate. The singer hints at a difficult past that has left them feeling buried alive, unable to breathe -- but they've found solace in their love.
As the song progresses, the singer shifts to a more philosophical mode, examining the role of miracles in everyday life and how people cope with the harsh realities of the world. They argue that people have lost faith in themselves and in the possibility of change. The song ends on a message of hope and redemption, urging listeners to take small steps towards a better future.
The Joker's Down By The Riverside is a song that resonates with many for its honest portrayal of the complexities of life. With its haunting lyrics and melodic composition, it stands out as a noteworthy addition to the world of music.
