While Ms Jones goes to extraordinary lengths to fill us in on the details of Chuck E being in love, she makes one crucial mistake: she forgets to provide us with a reason why we should give a damn.
say nothing bad about this girl, cause, she's got major backing,she's a sweet heart, and loved by many,just a heads up to those that don't know any better,,see ya !,,,,and,,,"rickie" says hi !
@deviatea Yup. And Chuck E. Cheese has better pizza better than Olive Garden too, right? And McDonald's is better than 5 Guys, ect. (There's no arguing with good taste!)
I figure that THIS is what JEWEL want's to sound like when she grows up. That's right, I think Jewel is almost like Rickie Lee Jones; Now if she only put forth the effort, she could just about do it.
@bill5893 Especially considering how badly music has declined in the last 20 years... imagine how bad the music of 3011 AD will suck (after ten centuries of decline!)
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
I LOVE THIS SONG .... BEFORE I SAY THIS ILL TELL YALL IM 28 AND BLACK IM NOT RACIST LOL BUT AT 0:41 IT SOUND LIKE SHE SAY HEY LIL NIGGA BOY .... LMAOOOOOOOOO
@dyrreunshelvin POOR LADY HAS A BAD OVERBITE AND ALSO A MIDWESTERN ACCENT, THAT'S WHY I LOOKED FOR THE LYRICS, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND A LOT OF HER RENDITIONS, BUT I'M READING THE WORDS AND IT DOES SOUND SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU SAY EXCEPT THERE IS NO LOGIC TO HER HAVING WRITTEN THAT.
"POOR LADY HAS A BAD OVERBITE AND ALSO A MIDWESTERN ACCENT"
rofl: I'm from the Midwest and, trust me, that AIN'T no Midwestern accent! ( I grew up listening to this song and, I could never make out about 80% of what she was singing.) I'm glad I Googled the lyrics - never appreciated the song much until then.
@mirrenmaniac I can't understand half of Bob Dylan's songs, and Mick Jagger? Forget it. Some singers purposely sing so that the words are unintelligible; they want to blend their voice with the music, and are not too concerned about enunciating distinctly. Listen to Rod Stewart; he does the same thing. And Robert Plant. I could go on and on.
@dyrreunshelvin, What?? That was quite a reach!! I played that part back 5 or 6 times and never heard anything close to what you claim you heard. Actually what she says is, "Hell, what can make a boy behave this way". Why do i have a feeling you already knew that and not black and racist? Just wondering.....peace
@shivamlm .. ya know... I had totally forgot this song until I heard Dinozzo say that. At my age I forget alot, but I remember being "in love" with Ducky. But his name at that time was Illya.
@LARSMEIERI you have to be an accomplished musician to recognize that. this song is magically delicious!!!!! its in a class of its own, never tire of hearing it. ive never heard the album, what album is it from?
@tbonds007 I'm guessing p.i.p might mean "person in person" in other words talking one to one. Anybody else think otherwise. Great lyrics and a total chilled song for lazy summer days, love it
@tbonds007 it is a great song. ive never understood or seen the lyrics other than the obvious. there is a clue she says pip down at the meter no more. are we talkin parkin meter? thats my guess. i love this tune takes me back to the day i first heard it.
@paulmac63 i think it means play in public, cuz it then says he dont watch tv and hangs the sign on the door, which is probably dnd do not disturb, a cool song with lost slang.
Sheryl Crow didn't just rip her style, she stole her songs from her boyfriend, who she then dumped after she became successful. He later committed suicide. Sheryl Crow is one of the most wretched beings of all time.
@Yakutska21 Damn ! I am really glad you are ONLY SPEAKING FOR YOURSELF ! here is an idea ! BUY THE ALBUM. LISTEN TO IT ! ITS GOLD. Maybe the Rikki Lee Jones hook will get in you too !
And find out WHO Steve Gadd is , and why Rikki can ask him to play.....along with the rest of that band. They are a CLASS ACT. You enjoy yourself , y'hear ??? lolmao
I saw Rickie in Milwaukee a week ago. I got a free ticket. I don't know what language she speaks-couldn't understand a word and I'll be damned if I can remember one song she did?! Plenty of dynamics though-if you like dynamics go see her, oh well, like I said it was a free ticket.
loved this song as a kid... it sounded so playful both lyrically and musically... i never saw rickie lee jones on tv... seeing her here on youtube is quite a revelation on how her voice matches her quirky and attractive personality...
I was eleven when this first came out. This for some reason reminded me of the kid a couple of years older than me who lived up the street when it first came out. Maybe because he just started experiencing girls and they liked him. But then he died in a car crash right after that and it reminded me of him even more. And that was the first experience I had with death with someone I knew. Depressing yeah, but somehow not.
This song has so many hooks in it I don't know where to start-the best being Rickie Lee's vocals she's having so much drop-dead fun singing this. A place called the "Meter" and the off-metered cadence of the lyrics and that catchy-as-ever rhythm...
It would be a fabulous number even without vocals but together there's few things finer I'll just say...WOW!!! I still love humming this and trying to figure out exactly what the words are
I've always been pissed at Tom Waits for totally destroying her, teaching her how to overdrink the way does. Some can handle it, most can't. She could have been so much greater.
So, I grew up with this girl in Phoenix in the '60s. My oh my how I wish we could have jammed together. Maybe even plp'ed together!!! I always loved this song. Go Rickie.
can you believe a gargoyle like mr tom waits ever charmed a magnificent woman human being like ms jones. Either way Theyre both magnificent artits. way to go tom.
they do try to make music like this nowadays but they do not have the ability to make it sound good.
this was a nice, more basic song in contrast to the polished disco back in 1979. acoustic music of the 1990s- today is total junk. this was simplified music but still had melody and polish added to it.
Rickie Lee Jones - when everyone else at the bar was playing Michael Jackson on the jukebox, I was playing Chuck E.'s in Love and loving every minute of it! I would sing along at the top of my lungs and sounded nothing like Ms. Jones, but I loved this song! So damn cool!
OMG!!! Ya know, I had this album waaaay back in 1972---I NEVER KNEW it was PLP!!!!! That now, Finally, makes sense! Thank you for that- PLP lol like way back then she was texting, huh? :) I STILL love this whole album! It's just as good today as it was then!
....if you think that way about the 'female singing this song' mate ...wtf you doin watchin' it in the first place? leave yr neg's elsewhere man..you ain't got nothin over her...!
Queen of Cool......This song always been a favourite, always will be...where are you now? ....does anyone have the original versions (not live) of Young Blood and Woody & Dutch on the slow train.....please post up if you do..cheers
The female singing this song is a bleeding heart liberal who loves non stop entitlements. Who cares if Chuck E's in love. I happen to think that both Ricky Jones, Chuck E and the people who like this song are all a bunch of ass clowns.
This song reminds me of a neighborhood band that played this song. The Mrs sounded so much like Rickie Lee Jones. We'd sit on old car seats drinking a brew, enjoying an unforgettable concert of friends. Awesome song. Fun, simple times back then.
This song reminds me of a neighborhood band we'd go listen to out of their garage that played this song. The Mrs sounded so much like Rickie Lee Jones. We'd sit on old car seats drinking a brew, enjoying an unforgettable concert of friends. Awesome song. Fun, simple times back then.
@Vashtiana Are you fucking stupid fucking asshole...you think i didn't know this wasnt before Cheryl Crow, Forgive me man...i guess if i play a little cheryl and say, "A little Ricky Lee in there?" maybe you will jump right out of you're little boy pants and get fuckin' real. C'mon man, grow the fuck up pussy
@gaughank Okay, because Rikki came before Sheryl she is automatically better and sheryl crow couldn't possibly sound/look like her at all, you're right, i'm sorry. You weird fuckin' clown. Tellin' somebody you don't even know who said nothing offensiver to fuck off...what a jerk
@kennyscotten The female singing this song is a bleeding heart liberal who loves non stop entitlements. Who cares if Chuck E's in love. I happen to think that both Ricki Jones, Chuck E and the people who like this song are all a bunch of ass clowns.
@Vashtiana and fuck you other 3 also...4 people there who don't know how to appreciate other music people any better than they do be aware of there own selfish, childish, ignorance, get fucking bent you pussy's
@Vashtiana you act like i didn't realize that Sheryl Crow was after this and told me to fuck off. As if two singers can't have a similar vibe because one was before the other. Or because she was first that makes her way better, in closing, 4get you jerk
I like this cover. She sorta reminds me of my wife's cousin's wife. Good attitude projection.

The female singing this song is a bleeding heart liberal who loves non stop entitlements. Who cares if Chuck E's in love. I happen to think that both Ricky Jones, Chuck E and the people who like this song are all a bunch of ass clowns.

the above "lyrics" are full of mistakes. Here are some of the lines that were written incorrectly ...corrected! :
And how come he turned off the t.v. and hanged that sign on the door?...
He learned all of the lines, now, and let me tell ya
He gonna stutter when he talks!
...He sure has acquired this kinda cool, inspired sorta jazz when he walks..
That means that Chuck E's in love..I look in on the poolhall.
He was sittin' behind us down at the Pantages

This song reminds me of a neighborhood band that played this song. The Mrs sounded so much like Rickie Lee Jones. We'd sit on old car seats drinking a brew, enjoying an unforgettable concert of friends. Awesome song. Fun, simple times back then.

@gaughank Okay, because Rikki came before Sheryl she is automatically better and sheryl crow couldn't possibly sound/look like her at all, you're right, i'm sorry. You weird fuckin' clown. Tellin' somebody you don't even know who said nothing offensiver to fuck off...what a jerk

cheryl crowe sucks and will go down in the record books as the first white woman to make music that was nauseating and made your skin crawl.

@Vashtiana you act like i didn't realize that Sheryl Crow was after this and told me to fuck off. As if two singers can't have a similar vibe because one was before the other. Or because she was first that makes her way better, in closing, 4get you jerk
