Worum geht es in dem Song?

"Down at the Twist and Shout" von Mary Chapin Carpenter ist ein Song über das Feiern, Tanzen und die Freude an der Musik...

Refrain:
Saturday nite & the moon is out,
Wanna a "hat-off-blow" to the twist and shout
Find a twistin' partner & a cajun beat
When it lives me up I'm gonna find my feet
Out in the middle of the big dance floor
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more.
Wanna dance to a band from a Louisiana tonite

And never have I wandered down to New Orleans,
Never have drifted down the bayou stream.
But I heard that music from the radio,
And I swore some day, I was gonna go
Down the highway 10 that's the lucky end,
There's a baton rouge & I won't forget
To send you a card with my regrets,
'cause I never gonna come back home

Refrain dann Quetsch'n-Solo

They got an alligator's dew & a crawfish pie,
A golfstorm blowin' into town and I
Living on a delta's quiet shore.
They got hurricane parties evr'ytime it goes
But here I soar it's a cold cold rain
And there aint no cure for my blues today
Except when the papers say Boyson Lay
Is a comin? to the town maybe let's go down

Refrain dann Klampfen-Solo

Bring ya mama bring ya papa bring your sister too
They got lots o music & lots of room
When they play you a bolds from the 1910
You gonna feel a little bit young again.
Where you learn to dance with you R & R,
You learn to swing to the "Doe-si-Doe"
But you'll learn to love at a big old doe,
When you hear a little show at dawn

Refrain

Fiddle - Solo und Klampfen - Solo
