Kylie’s 1987 debut single “The Loco-motion” was re-produced in ’88 with the Hit Factory’s Stock Aitken and Waterman for this UK number 2 hit. It was also her biggest hit in the US peaking at no.3 and was number one in Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Israel, Japan and South Africa. The song was a cover of Little Eva’s American number one dancefloor sensation written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin and featured on the soundtrack for Arthur 2: On The Rocks starring Liza Minelli and Dudley Moore. Taken from “Kylie” her 7 x UK platinum debut album.
Lyrics:
Everybody's doing a brand-new dance, now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with me
It's easier than learning your A-B-C
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips, now
Come on, baby
Jump up
Jump back
Well, now, I think you've got the knack
Wow, wow
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain, now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
A chug-a chug-a motion like a railroad train, now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Do it nice and easy, now, don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
Come on, come on
Do the Loco-motion with me
Ye-ye-ye-yeah
Move around the floor in a Loco-motion
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you get the notion
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me
(Come one)
You gotta swing your hips, now
(Come one)
That's right (do the Loco-motion)
You're doing fine!
(Come one, do the Loco-motion)
Come on, babe
(Come one, do the Loco-motion)
Hm-hm-hm, jump up
(Come one)
