Aurgasm

Haven’t heard that one in a dog’s age. I can imagine having the chorus rattling around in ine’s head. Where IS that from?

The lyrics to “Don’t You Just Know It”

I saw your blurb on this song (http://aurgasm.us/archive/2006_06_01_.html). I think I have managed to clarify the actual words to this song.

I had to listen to the Snatch soundtrack very closely, many times, and also surf, surf, surf the Web to finally get these. The culotte reference is to the whores in New Orleans who would walk the streets wearing culottes.

DON’T YOU JUST KNOW IT?
(Huey Smith & John Vincent)
(Artist: Huey “Piano” Smith and the Clowns)
(call and response)

I can’t lose with the stuff I use. Don’t you just know it?
Baby, don’t believe I wear two left shoes. Don’t you just know it?
Ah ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha. Hey-o. Hey-o.
Kuba kuba kuba kuba. Kuba kuba kuba kuba.
Ah ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha.
Ah ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha. Hey-o. Hey-o.

Hey pretty baby, can we go strollin’? Don’t you just know it?
You got me rockin’ when I ought to rollin’. Don’t you just know it?
Ah ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha. Hey-o. Hey-o.
Kuba kuba kuba kuba. Kuba kuba kuba kuba.
Ah ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha.
Ah ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha. Hey-o. Hey-o.

Baby, baby, you’re my blue heaven. Don’t you just know it?
You got me pushin’ when I oughta be shovin’. Don’t you just know it?
Ah ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha. Hey-o. Hey-o.
Kuba kuba kuba kuba. Kuba kuba kuba kuba.
Ah ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha.
Ah ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha. Hey-o. Hey-o.

I don’t mind that culotte a bit. Don’t you just know it?
Younger the couple, the tighter they squeeze. Don’t you just know it?
Ah ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha. Hey-o. Hey-o.
Kuba kuba kuba kuba. Kuba kuba kuba kuba.
Ah ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha.
Ah ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha. Hey-o. Hey-o.

Ah ha ha ha. Ah ha ha ha. Hey-o. Hey-o”¦”¦.

Sorry, anon, I disagree… Maybe the chart said that. But the Snatch recording, well, I just do not hear “mountain cool as a breeze”. Bobby Marchan was also a female impersonator, so maybe that was the message.

Maybe we will never know for sure what he was saying, I guess. It is a great song.

Wouldn’t you know it, I was thinking the same thing. One google search for “gooba gooba” “ha ha” and here I am. Now I need to dig out Snatch again and listen to this song again.

Thanks for giving a name to the chorus!

i have the 45 record !!! It was my mother’s record and when I was 4 years old, I wrote my age “4” and my initial “J” for Jason on it. I still play it for a selective few people that apreciate “real” music before music today was “Hollywood-ized” (If I may)The kicker was I wrote the “4” backwards ???? What was I thinking? Anyway, true story !

Bless you all !

Peace out !

I have it on my play list and could neither name the artist nor the song. Very frustrating to have a gap in a perfect line-up. At first I tried a search using dubadubaduba (that’s how it sounded to my Jamaican ear). I didn’t find a match. The i used a line that amuses me:’you got me pushin’ when I oughta be shovin” And bingo! Thanks!

i’m digitalizing some (selfmade) mixed tapes from 1981, i got that song in a much speedier version,
it doesn’t appear to be from the same artist. there’s some differences on the lyrics such as “Hey pretty baby can’t we go strollin (… ) how can i love you when other people know it “.

still haven’t found the artist for this version… On the other hand i found a Captain Jack has also made a song with the same name in newer times.

Yes, this is interesting and fun… wooh and i still got 10 tapes to go …

Back in the early 80s, there was this girl named Colleen. I attempted to ride my bike from West Lafayette, Indiana to South Bend one summer. Ditched the bike after about 40 miles, then hitched the rest of the way. Anyhow, I got to her house, had a lovely time. Part of the time included going through a shoebox of 45s, one of which was Don’t You Just Know It. She gave it to me. A friend of mine, Dean, lived in the same town as Colleen. He and I were born on the same day, December 4, 1962. As it turned out, as I was pining for Colleen, Dean was dating her. Later (a couple of months) I made a cassette of the song, 45 minutes per side, 90 minutes total. Took some friends for a long, long car ride. The cassette player in the car had an auto-reverse function. So the song repeated endlessly. And my friends and I exhibited the signs of humans working through the seven (or is it five — no I think it’s seven) stages of grief or loss. Thanks for sharing.

I was born in ’56. My parents purchased the 45 when it came out. I played it constantly (along with ‘High Blood Pressure’ on the B-side). I just bought his ‘best of CD’ a few months ago. Love the memories it brings back.

I’ve loved this song since I first heard it age 9 or so. I distinctly remember seeing them on TV (Bandstand?) lip syncing this bouncing on a trampoline (best reason for lip-syncing I could imagine. I’m off to the web to try and find that clip

“don’t you just know it” is used in the new Asics footwear commercial. Will the artists get paid? Props to Huey ‘Piano’ Smith anyhow.
