Shakin' Stevens
Shakin Stevens was my favourite artist when I was younger, but unlike many other artists he wasn't an overnight success. Shakin Stevens paid his dues in the music industry for 10 years before he had his first hit single.
Shakin Stevens started out in the group 'Shakin Stevens and The Sunsets' who first went professional in 1969, they released 13 singles but none of them made it big. Shakin Stevens and The Sunsets parted company in 1977.
After breaking up from The Sunsets Shakin Stevens went on to produce solo records. He also appeared in a Jack Good West End Musical which was revamped into a television show called 'Oh Boy', this was the turning point in Shakin Stevens long struggle for success. His second single "Somebody Touched Me" made it into the top 40 in Australia but it wasn't until his 8th solo release that he started to make it big. His eighth single was "Hot Dog" which had of course been featured in 'Oh Boy' and the rest we say is history.
Shakin Stevens had 39 hit singles, 36 of which were consecutive, and in the UK alone achieved four Number 1s and three Number 2s.
Shakin Stevens - Hot Dog
Shakin Stevens - Hey Mae
If Shaky had in fact worn these shoes he would have done himself a micheif as he adopted the rubbery leg style of Elvis Presley which is not really a compatible style with these big clumsy shoes.
Shakin Stevens - This Ole House
This Ole House - Lyrics
This ole house once knew a wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin' walks about
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't a-got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
This ole house is gettin' shaky
This ole house is gettin' old
This ole house lets in the rain
This ole house lets in the cold
On my knees I'm gettin' chilly
But I feel no fear nor pain
'Cause I see an angel peekin'
Through the broken windowpane
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't a-got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
This ole house is afraid of thunder
This ole house is afraid of storms
This ole house just groans and trembles
When the night wind flings out its arms
This ole house is gettin' feeble
This old house is needin' paint
Just like me it's tuckered out
But I'm a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer)
(Ain't a-gonna need this house no more)
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend no windowpane
Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer
She's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

Shakin Stevens - Green Door
Green Door Lyrics
Watchin' till the mornin' comes creepin'
Green door, what's that secret you're keepin'
There's an old piano
And they play it hot behind the green door
Don't know what they're doin'
But they laugh a lot behind the green door
Wish they'd let me in
So I could find out what's behind the green door
Knocked once, tried to tell them I'd been there
Door slammed, hospitality's thin there
Wond'rin' just what's goin' on in there
Saw an eyeball peepin'
Through a smoky cloud behind the green door
When I said Joe sent me
Someone laughed out loud behind the green door
All I want to do is join the happy crowd behind the green door
Midnight, one more night without sleepin'
Watchin' till that mornin' comes creepin'
Green door, what's that secret you're keepin'
There's an old piano
And they're playin' hot behind the green door
Don't know what they're doin'
But they laugh a lot behind the green door
Wish they'd let me in
So I could find out what's behind the green door
Saw an eyeball peepin'
Through a smoky cloud behind the green door
When I said Joe sent me
Someone laughed out loud behind the green door
All I want to do is join the happy crowd behind the green door
Wish they'd let me in
So I could find out what's behind the green door

Shakin Stevens - Oh Julie
Oh Julie - Lyrics
Do you want me, Julie, to be, to be your very own
Julie, love me only, Julie, don't be lonely
Because I want you only to be, to be my very own
Baby, don't leave me, honey, don't grieve me
Julie, why leave me alone
Stay with me, baby, lay with me, baby
Honey, don't leave me alone
Julie, never leave me, please, don't deceive me
Julie, oh believe me and be, be my very own
Whoa, whoa Julie, if you love me truly
Do you want me, Julie, to be, be your very own
Baby, don't leave me, honey, don't grieve me
Julie, why leave me alone
Stay with me, baby, lay with me, baby
Honey, don't leave me alone
Julie, never leave me, please, don't deceive me
Julie, oh believe me and be, be my very own
Whoa, whoa Julie, if you love me truly
Do you want me, Julie, to be, be your very own
To be, to be, to be, to be your very own
To be, to be, to be, to be your very own

Merry Christmas Everyone - Lyrics
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Time for parties, and celebrations
People dancing, all night long
Time for presents and exchanging kiss's
Time for singing christmas songs
We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe, we'll kiss by candle light
Room is swaying, records playing
All the old songs we love to hear
All I wish that everyday was Christmas
What a nice way to spend the year
We're gonna have a party tonight
I'm gonna find that girl
Underneath the mistletoe, we'll kiss by candle light
Snow is fallin, all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas everyone
Oh merry Cristmas everyone
Snow is fallin, all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Snow is fallin, all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Snow is fallin, all around me
Children playing, having fun
It's the season, love and understanding
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas everyone

- This actually takes me 20 years back in time and I LOVE it! Thanks for doing that with Shakin Stevens, which definitely was one of my favorite singers. Now in 2007 I like James Morrisson and our own Boris a lot!
Thanks, Robert
