La de da de de, la de da de da
On a day when all technology news is over-shadowed by an Apple event… what are we going to talk about?? The Steve Jobs love-in was labelled “The Beat Goes On” – the same as that catchy Sonny Bono tune from January 1967… We were wondering if the lyrics hold up after 40 years… especially enough for a showcase of leading edge technology and marketing… It’s actually not bad… judge for yourself!
CHORUS:
The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de daCharleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huhChorus
The grocery store’s the super mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball scoreChorus
Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Bums still cry “hey buddy, have you got a dime”
