Back It Up

"Back It Up" is the fourth song on Caro Emerald's debut album, "Deleted Scenes From The Cutting Room Floor".

Description

 * "New Orleans... 1951... a bar full of genius players, double dealing, sweet talking players with more on their mind than numbers, converge where the hustlers lay on the sugar thicket than the cheap wine that flows in the back rooms of the gambling halls. Eyes shift to the white girl who is obviously lost, or from out of town. And as soon as the timpani plays and she grabs the microphone, her voice moves her from pariah to princess to the pleasure dome. A coincidence? No, not really..."

Lyrics
I can't stop shakin' The room has a groove and the floor It's almost earthquakin' Uhuh

Look what we're makin' History out on the floor And it's just awakin' Uhuh

I wanna Back, back, back, back it up Back it up and do it again

Gimme some of that funky The kind that the Duke used to play And make it more swingy Heyey

And then give me some hornay You know the bub-pu-pa bub-pu-pa-bay Come on, give it to me Hmmm hmmm

Slam that bass and make it sing Give those strings that rip 'n zing You know exactly what I came here for Back it up and do it again
