Well it’s Sunday again and Jim Adams he is back with us for Song Lyric Sunday Challenge. This week February 2, 2020 – our challenge is Babe/Cutie/Doll/Honey/Sweetie.
I am going with The Top Cats, simply because I like this group and especially this track. I like Scandinavian dramas and music 💜
Top Cats is a Swedish rockabilly band formed in 2001. The earliest line-up was made up of Jon Kleppenes (as lead singer), Daniel Kjellberg (drummer), Henrik Törnevik (contrabass), Fredrik Lilja (guitar), Olle Sätterström (guitar, trumpet, piano), Erica Larsson and Sandra Zackrisson (both backing vocals). When in 2004 drummer Daniel Kjellberg left, he was replaced by Robert Jansson. In 2007, double bassist Henrik Törnevik left and was replaced by Martin Lindahl. Information from here
“Baby Doll” is a song written by Mårten Eriksson, Lina Eriksson and Susie Päivärinta. The song was performed in the second semifinal of Melodifestivalen 2012 by the Top Cats. From Andra chansen the song made it to the finals inside the Stockholm Globe Arewna, where it ended up 6th. Information from here.
TOP CATS lyrics : “Baby Doll”
Cruisin’ down the streets at midnight
Music boppin’, ladies rockin’
Dudes and dudettes all over town
Saw this bird walkin’ down the pavement
Traffic stoppin’, fellas droppin’
She just kept walkin’ straight on by
And I realised she’s all I’m missin’
I pulled my wheels aside
And with a smile I rolled my window down
Baby doll
You need some rock ‘n’ roll
You need someone to hold you on a cold and lonesome night
Baby doll doll doll, rock ‘n’ roll roll roll
Over here, now bring it, bring it over here
Oh, baby doll
Don’t be cruel, don’t leave me hangin’
On a wire, my heart’s on fire
Don’t make me beg now pretty please
Streets look good when you’re in the front seat
Motor runnin’, bird is hummin’
Right here beside me at the wheel
With her by my side nothing’s missing
I turn my wheels ahead
And with a smile I press my right foot down
Baby doll
You need some rock ‘n’ roll
You need someone to hold you on a cold and lonesome night
Baby doll doll doll, rock ‘n’ roll roll roll
Over here, now bring it, bring it over here
Baby, my ride is gonna take you high
Straight down Rocky Road and then we’ll hit the sky
Tonight, oh yes tonight
Gonna steer us steady down Lovers Lane
Up to Seventh Heaven and then back again
Up to Seventh Heaven and then back again tonight
Oh baby doll doll doll
Rock ‘n’ roll roll roll
Over here now, bring it, bring it over here
Baby doll
You need some rock ‘n’ roll
You need someone to hold you on a cold and lonesome night
Baby doll doll doll, rock ‘n’ roll roll roll
Over here, now bring it, bring it over here
Oh Baby doll
My baby doll
Oh baby doll
My baby doll
Okay now let’s have a sloppy weepy because we all need to weep over a song or a film. Honey by Bobby Goldsboro.
Released in 1968 Honey“, also known as “Honey (I Miss You)“, is a song written by Bobby Russell. He first produced it with former Kingston Trio member Bob Shane. Then he gave it to American singer Bobby Goldsboro, who recorded it for his 1968 album of the same name, originally titled Pledge of Love. Information from here.

I’m just starting to listen to today’s SLS choices and your top one certainly woke me up 🙂
That’s what you get with Scandinavian groups 😁💜💜💜
Two lovely choices, Sis 💜
Thank you Sis 💜
💜💜
💜💜
Thank you Sis 💜💜
Two great selections. I had not heard of “The Top Cats” but I like them! The Bobby Goldsboro song is a heartbreaker for sure.
Bobby Goldsboro, a real heartbreaker💜
The Top Cats song was a rocker. Thanks for adding Honey by Bobby Goldsboro, even though it is very sad.
Two songs from opposite ends of the spectrum. 💜
Snap for your second choice Willow.
It’s a great song isn’t it 💜
Yep. I also liked ‘Summer the First Time’ from 1973.
Oh! Another lovely song 💜
He has the voice for them.
Yes he has a permanent lump in his throat and tear in his eye!
Fantastic! Never heard this before!
Do you mean the Top Cats or Bobby Goldsboro? 💜
Both. It was all new to me & I liked it! 💕
Excellent, so glad you enjoyed it 💜
I love the Top Cats’s song! I love the rockability beat! This is my new favorite tune for this week!
Excellent, glad you liked it 💜
Two great picks. The first one is new to me and I like it lots! Chair dancing going on over here. And the 2nd one … well just classic 🙂
The first one is a Scandinavian group, excellent as always, and Bobby Goldsboro is just brilliant 💜
Honey!!b I just listened to it. I saw the title of another post and thought it was gonna be that song. I was just a little girl, but I remember that song. every word!
I was 15yrs in 1968, I remember it too, every word. It’s amazing what an impact some songs have on us 💜
I was 7 but I remember it so vividly. What a song for a 7 year old to be listening to!
I know gosh , you must of been a very mature 7 year-old 💜
I was never really a child. One of those kids that was born 12 you know? Funny thing is, I think I still am 12 most of the time.. 😉
Me too, I had met my husband by 13yrs, married by 17yrs still married to him 49yrs on 😖
I like the first one it is nice and crisp. The 2nd one is a beautiful trip down memory lane.
So glad you liked them both 💜
