by Erin Halfelven
Everybody's playing Swaddy Bopp,
Put your money down and take the bet,
Who will you be when they let...Swaddy Bopp! Swaddy Bopp!
Let the music stop?It's a game the rich and cruel play,
Winners take all, life is just the stake,
Who will be you when they make...Swaddy Bopp! Swaddy Bopp!
Make the music slay?If you're young you can play Swaddy Bopp,
Someone old and rich will pay your debt,
Who will you be when they let...Swaddy Bopp! Swaddy Bopp!
Let the music stop?If you're old you're gonna have to pay
But it can make you young again.
Boy or girl, try an original sin...Swaddy Bopp! Swaddy Bopp!
Let the music play!It's just a game of body swap,
Every morning I wake up someone new,
Who will I be, what will I do...When they make the music stop?
Swaddy Bopp!

Name that tune

For some reason I can hear Laverne Baker (Jim Dandy to the Rescue, Tweedle Dee)
doing this one, in that powerful growl of hers- a rockin' 1950's R&B tune
with an insistant beat; an element of anger & warning in her delivery.
But whatever Erin had in mind, I dig the lyrics..
~~hugs, Laika
What borders on stupidity?

LaVern Baker
Would be a good choice, except for the fact, well, she died ten years ago. But thanks for mentioning her, I just bought some of her hits on iTunes. :)
Believe it or not, the voice I hear singing it is Michael Jackson. :) Well, it's a TG song.
Hugs,
Erin

It's a rocker
Not too fast but not slow, drums below and horns above. :)

I can see the contestants doing a form of a square dance with their swap partner.
