Little Eva - Loco-Motion - 1962
LYRICS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv8k5IqVquU
" The Loco-Motion " (or " Locomotion ") is a 1962 pop song written by American songwriters Gerry Goffin and Carole King . "The Loco-Motion" was originally written for R&B singer Dee Dee Sharp , but Sharp turned the song down.
The song is especially notable for making three different appearances in the American Top 3, each in a different decade: in 1962 by Little Eva (U.S. No. 1); in 1974 by Grand Funk Railroad (also U.S. No. 1); and in 1988 by Kylie Minogue (U.S. No. 3).
The song is an enduring example of the dance-song genre ; much of the lyric is devoted to a description of the dance itself, usually performed as a type of line dance. However, the song pre-dates the dance.
"The Loco-Motion" was also the second song to reach No. 1 by two different musical acts in America. The earlier song to do this was " Go Away Little Girl ," also written by Goffin and King. It is one of only nine songs to achieve this feat. - source
