Play the Jukebox: Shout! Shout! (Knock Yourself Out)

Tweet

To no one’s surprise, we have an air quality alert here in the land of the Kentucky Derby. I was wondering why I needed extra albuterol for asthma control yesterday, then I said, “Duh!” I pray the good people in Canada can get those wildfires under control quickly. I’ll give you a song to dance to…indoors, in good air! Shout! Shout! (Knock Yourself Out) - Ernie Maresca In this happy tune you’ll hear a little self-promotion: “Play another song like ‘Runaround Sue.’” While this song was Ernie Maresca’s biggest hit as a singer, he had many other hits as a songwriter…including co-writing “Runaround Sue.” You can tell, too, that this has a little “Runaround Sue” feel to it, with the “whop whop whops” sounding like someone played the “hey heys” in “Runaround Sue” on a faster speed. This is one of the great fun tunes from the innocent era of rock and roll. Shout! Shout! (Knock Yourself Out) Written by Ernie Maresca and Thomas Bogdany Recorded by Ernie Maresca From Shout! Shout! (Knock Yourself Out), 1962 JUKEBOX LYRICS: Turn that jukebox up mighty loud
