Louis Thomas Jordan (July 8, 1908 – February 4, 1975) was a pioneering American musician, songwriter and bandleaderwho enjoyed his greatest popularity from the late 1930s to the early 1950s. Known as “The King of the Jukebox“, he was highly popular with both black and white audiences in the later years of the swing era. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked him no. 59 on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Jordan died in Los Angeles, California, from a heart attack on February 4, 1975. He is buried at Mt. Olive Cemetery in his wife Martha’s hometown of St. Louis, Missouri.

Choo Choo Ch’boogie – Louis Jordan

Choo Choo Ch’Boogie” was written by Vaughn Horton, Denver Darling, and Milt Gabler. The song was recorded in January 1946 by Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five. It topped the Rhythm and Blues charts for 18 weeks from August 1946, a record only equalled by one other hit, “The Honeydripper.” The record was one of Jordan’s biggest ever hits with both black and white audiences, peaking at number seven on the national chart  and provided an important link between blues and country music, foreshadowing the development of “rock and roll” a few years later.  Although “Choo Choo Ch’Boogie” is now seen as epitomising the style known as jump blues, it was written by white songwriters whose background was in country and western music. The song is credited to Darling, Horton and Gabler. Denver Darling (1909–1981) was a “hillbilly” guitarist and songwriter,

Louis Jordan – Choo Choo Ch’Boogie Lyrics

Heading for the station with a pack on my back,

I’m tired of transportation in the back of a hack
I just love the rhythm of the clickety clack
I hear the whistle blowing, see the smoke from the stack
Pal around with democratic fellas named Mac
Take me right back to the track, Jack

Choo choo, choo choo ch’boogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch’boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch’boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

You reach your destination and alas and alack
You need some compensation to get back in the black
You take a morning paper from the top of the stack
And read the situation from the front to the back
The only job that’s open needs a man with a knack
Put me right back in the rack, Jack

Choo choo, choo choo ch’boogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch’boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch’boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

I’m gonna settle down by the railroad track
To live a life of Riley in a beat down shack
When I hear the whistle I can peep through the crack
And see the train rollin’ when it’s ballin’ the Jack
For I just love the rhythm of the clickety clack
Take me right back to the track, Jack

Choo choo, choo choo ch’boogie
Whoo whoo, whoo whoo ch’boogie
Choo choo, choo choo ch’boogie
Take me right back to the track, Jack

Take me right back to the track, Jack

"Snow (Hey Oh)"  Come to decide that the things that I tried were in my life just to get high on.  When I sit alone, come get a little known  But I need more than myself this time.  Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe that we rely on  When I lay it on, come get to play it on  All my life to sacrifice.   Hey oh... listen what I say oh  I got your hey oh, now listen what I say oh   When will I know that I really can't go  To the well once more - time to decide on.  Well it's killing me, when will I really see, all that I need to look inside.  Come to believe that I better not leave before I get my chance to ride,  Well it's killing me, what do I really need - all that I need to look inside.   Hey oh... listen what I say oh  Come back and hey oh, look at what I say oh   The more I see the less I know  The more I'd like to let it go - hey oh, whoa...   Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow,  Finally divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go;  In between the cover of another perfect wonder and it's so white as snow,  Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.   Ho!   Went to descend to amend for a friend of the channels that had broken down.  Now you bring it up, I'm gonna ring it up - just to hear you sing it out.  Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe what we rely on,  When I lay it on, come get to play it on  All my life to sacrifice   Hey oh... listen what I say oh  I got your hey oh... listen what I say oh   The more I see, the less I know  The more I'd like to let it go - hey oh, whoa...   Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow.  Finally divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go  In between the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow  Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.   I said hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now.  Hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now.   Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow,  Finally divided by a world so undecided and there's nowhere to go.  Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow...  Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go.   I said hey oh yeah oh yeah... tell my love now  Hey yeah yeah... oh yeah.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS LYRICS – Snow (Hey Oh)//

“Snow (Hey Oh)”

Come to decide that the things that I tried were in my life just to get high on.
When I sit alone, come get a little known
But I need more than myself this time.
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe that we rely on
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice.
Hey oh… listen what I say oh
I got your hey oh, now listen what I say oh
When will I know that I really can’t go
To the well once more – time to decide on.
Well it’s killing me, when will I really see, all that I need to look inside.
Come to believe that I better not leave before I get my chance to ride,
Well it’s killing me, what do I really need – all that I need to look inside.
Hey oh… listen what I say oh
Come back and hey oh, look at what I say oh
The more I see the less I know
The more I’d like to let it go – hey oh, whoa…
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it’s so white as snow,
Finally divided by a world so undecided and there’s nowhere to go;
In between the cover of another perfect wonder and it’s so white as snow,
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there’s nowhere to go.
Ho!
Went to descend to amend for a friend of the channels that had broken down.
Now you bring it up, I’m gonna ring it up – just to hear you sing it out.
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe what we rely on,
When I lay it on, come get to play it on
All my life to sacrifice
Hey oh… listen what I say oh
I got your hey oh… listen what I say oh
The more I see, the less I know
The more I’d like to let it go – hey oh, whoa…
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it’s so white as snow.
Finally divided by a world so undecided and there’s nowhere to go
In between the cover of another perfect wonder where it’s so white as snow
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there’s nowhere to go.
I said hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now.
Hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now.
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it’s so white as snow,
Finally divided by a world so undecided and there’s nowhere to go.
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it’s so white as snow…
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there’s nowhere to go.
I said hey oh yeah oh yeah… tell my love now
Hey yeah yeah… oh yeah.

So what does Malaya have to do with the Philippines?

I believe that it is very important to try to help those in the local community who need a helping hand and that is why whenever we have extra cans of food or bags of chips or crackers, we donate them to the local food bank in our area. Many churches and humanitarian organizations also accept food and supplies and it is always a good gesture to donate to those who are in need..

“I (Who Have Nothing)”

I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Adore you, and want you so
I’m just a no one,
With nothing to give you but Oh
I Love You

He, He buys you diamonds
Bright, sparkling diamonds
But believe me, dear when I say,
That he can give you the world,
But he’ll never love you the way
I Love You

He can take you anyplace he wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
I, I who have nothing
I, I who have no one
Must watch you, go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling it’s I
Who Loves you

I Love You
I Love You
I Love You
