Get On

About Get On

”Get On” is a song written and recorded by the Finnish rock band Hurriganes in September 1974. It appeared on their second album, entitled Roadrunner. It was originally supposed to be just a filler, as the number of tracks recorded at that stage was deemed insufficient to fill a complete album. According to Remu Aaltonen, both the music and the words were the result of improvisation, when producer Richard Stanley wanted the band to come up with one more song. However, according to Richard Stanley, the band had been playing the song live already during the previous summer, months before the recording sessions in Stockholm. There exist recordings made by people in the audiences during the summer of 1974, and the song appears on these recordings. The words of this song consist of some kind of “Rock Esperanto”. There are words and phrases from the English language, but also non-sense words, and the syntax of proper English is not used systematically. Also, it is not possible to assign a sensible meaning to the lyrics. This situation arose from the deficient knowledge of English by the singer, Remu Aaltonen. The words were supposed to be replaced later by proper English, and Remu's words were only meant for a demo recording. However, the other members of the band, as well as the producer, thought that the delivery was strong, and decided to stick to those words, despite opposition from Remu Aaltonen. The unique words are part of the charm of the song. more »

Just a sweet Carolina, just a rockin' little mama
Just leave my baby in old Alabama
Rockin' in the evenin' when the sun goes down
Mean guitar, that's a swingin' old town
Rockin' and a-rollin' just a little while
Ain't got no rollin', ain't got no holdin'

Get on, get on baby, get on
Get on, get on baby, get on
Well, let me be, rock and rollin' free

Well, old Alabama, just a sweet Carolina
Just a-rockin' and rollin' may leave town
Got to be a scoogie, lay on my boogie
Let me hear you say you got my hole around
Got to be a scoogie, bing bong bang
Ain't got no rollin', ain't got no holdin'

Get on, get on baby, get on
Get on, get on baby, get on
Well, let me be, rock and roll with me

Well, go go baby dancin' rock and roll
And twist and shout, you'll be rockin' the bowl
Just a little baby, she's rollin' around
Ain't got no rockin' or rollin' in town
Got to be a scoogie of the neighbourhood
Ain't got no rollin', ain't got no bowlin'

Get on, get on baby, get on
Get on, get on baby, get on
Do you rock and roll? Ain't got no moving on

Get on, get on baby, get on
Get on, get on baby, get on
Play me one more time, rocking and the roll

Get on, get on baby, get on
Get on, get on baby, get on
Just a-moving your arse, rocking and fast

Get on, get on baby, get on
Get on, get on baby, get on
Stop the music! Rocking is slow.

Hurriganes

Hurriganes is a Finnish rock band that was formed in the early 1970s. They were very popular in Finland in the 1970s and early 1980s; they were also a popular live act in Sweden during this time. Their classic line-up consisted of Remu Aaltonen, Albert Järvinen and Cisse Häkkinen. What seems like a misspelling in the name ("Hurriganes" with a "g") is intentional. Their style of music is very much of a nostalgic, pre-Beatles, roots rock'n'roll orientation. During their "classic" period, the band's output consisted largely of revved-up cover versions of well-known 1950s rock'n'roll songs in addition to their own original material. In this sense, Hurriganes can be viewed as Finland's answer to British pub rock performers of the 1970s like Dave Edmunds and Dr. Fe… more »
