    Tell me a story, keep me entertained
    I know that nothing's what it seems
    Who are these people, I only know their names
    And that I met them in my dreams
    Billy's a drinker, Andre is a lout
    Susanna cannot use the phone
    And Ginny can't tell what I'm talking about
    Maybe she missed the undertone
    All night long with Judy and Hugh
    Won't you give us a shake with the boogie you do
    Judy and Hugh at a quarter to two
    I'm staying awake for Judy and Hugh
    I'll make a phone call, you wait in the car
    Drive if you see the special sign
    Copacabana, meet me in the bar
    I hear the weather will be fine
    What are you saying, what's that in your mouth?
    A language I don't understand
    Hand me the road map, I think we're heading south
    Back due to popular demand
    All night long with Judy and Hugh
    Won't you give us a shake with the boogie you do
    Judy and Hugh at a quarter to two
    I'm staying awake for Judy and Hugh
    I'll be up for Judy and Hugh
    Won't you give it a shake when it's eighty-two percent proof
    Judy and Hugh know just what I should do, so
    I'm staying awake for Judy and Hugh
    Standing up for duty and truth
    'Cos I'm playing it straight just like the arm of Babe Ruth
    Duty and truth are the weapons of youth
    I pray for the sake of duty and truth
    I'll be up for Judy and Hugh
    Won't you give it a shake when it's eighty-two percent proof
    Judy and Hugh know just what I should do, so
    I'm staying awake for Judy and Hugh

      4:24 @JDraper asked me to listen then say what i thought it was about. It's a cool song. At first i thought it was about how the speaker was in an affair with a couple but it was down low ;-) but as it went on it's clear its about addiction to something not socially accepted.

      Non native listener. Without the regular englishman background I just can Guess that the song is similar in scope as 'piano man'. An Judy and Hugh are references to beverages.

    @amadandearbhte4318 Před rokem +148

    I'm terrible at picking out lyrics, but from the ones I did hear, it sounds like the song is about:
    At a funeral, all the family is there, you've had the meal, there's been the typical arguments and probably a couple about the will. But you and your sibling play an instrument, so to calm the tension, your parents say 'go and play something'. But you don't want to cause you have terrible anxiety when it comes to that sort of thing, so you hesitate in fear and before you can quietly stutter out a no, your grandma has heard. 'ooo Yes. Go on, give us a shake', and now other people have heard. And they start egging you on. You look to your parents for help, but they sternly tell you to stop being silly and go and play something, and it's not a performance it's just family. So you and your sibling begrudgingly go up and play a short piece. Youre so nervous that you forget all the notes. The performance is terrible and your parents are so disappointed and you're just getting confused and pittying looks from everyone else.
    This isn't the first time it has happened either, at every family gathering, your parents make you and your sibling play. Perhaps it doesn't usually go so badly, but it makes you feel like a performing monkey and totally inadiquet. And it's really annoying.

    Catchy! 😊🎶 Not sure what it’s supposed to be about, but as an introvert with a touch of social anxiety, the lyrics read as the saga of how a more extroverted couple that you’re friends with might drag you out for a night on the town 🕺🪩

    GORGEOUS 80s throwback aesthetic, which already throws back to earlier eras! Drawing ecumenically from the 30s, 40s and even a touch of the 50s through today, the warm sepia tone flushed my cheeks as I smiled.
    This song felt to me a bit of a duet anthem to a good friend remembered at his passing, everyone going around the room, echoing their sentiments about him, in harmony and agreement, until all were on their feet in Celebration of a Lifetime well Lived and Loved.
    It's hard to be sad about that.
    Good friends, good people, well thought of, loved, and remembered. A peppy tune to help cheer and cherish one another, and to honor and elevate the memory of a good friend.

    I'm here to hopefully help Jenny feel better while they're sick. I would listen another time to decode it, but one of my literature professors once told me you get the most meaning out of a first reading. My thoughts are that Judy and Hugh are the narrator's friends who the narrator sees as their reason to continue living/that their friendship is the meaning in their life.
    Or it could just be a catchy tune.

    “J Draper” is the password I gave to enter this club. I’ve worked in bars many times in my life. I believe the song is about customers who try to find solace and escape into the wee hours. I believe that one of the key themes is trying to cope with the death of a friend or relative in a nearby hospital. It is an around the clock vigil of emotional intensity that requires frequent breaks. It’s a lot to cope with. How we honor them when they’ve passed can range from joyful to somber.

    JDraper sent me. I think the song is about the bumpy road to sobriety. Judy and Hugh becomes duty and truth towards the end of the song, which I think is a big clue to their shaking: D and T. DT. Delirium tremens. This combined with only knowing names of people (AA), the reference to proof, and other stuff make me think this whole song is about an alcoholic trying to get sober.
    If I’m right, this is the catchiest and most fun song about delirium tremens I’ve ever heard! 😆

    Greetings dear James!
    I come upon Jenny's request. I have heard your splendid groove and, although I cannot figure out who Jenny and Hugh are, I am increasingly certain about the main story.
    The lad Graham had died and we are watching several characters at his "death party" of whom he remembers none. None, other than a glimpse of a memory somewhere in time, that he has of them. These memories are the ones played out by the characters in a repeated fashion, as his mind recalls them, before they blissfully dance along with the remaining imagination of a dead man.

    I think Judy and Hugh are in a dance marathon contest for charity and the singer feels honour-bound to support them

    Jenny sent me! Not sure I quite get the meaning, but I will tell you what I see.
    A diverse group of people who are possibly at a post-funeral gathering who are brought out of the fog of loss by a song.
    I need a half dozen more listens before I can glean more from it. But I love the mental challenge.😊

    The song was great, but the video made it for me. This was a perfect example of a relatively low-budget video being just as amazing as a higher budget 'professionally' polished one could be and I think arguably is better than if it had all that expensive polish. I loved Jenny's remote. Everytime she pulled it out the vibe got better.

    I deliberately haven’t read any comments yet…
    I’ll assume that the video and song are unrelated, therefore I think it’s a song about a lock in at a pub, with the generous landlords Judy and Hugh.
    Great tune to do my housework to - I’m of an age 😏

    Loved it. A really fun dance song. It has a very 60's vibe to it. The guitar licks, melody and the boy/girl story were very 60's which was a very fun era for music and dance. The Late 50-60's is when music completely changed. It's Iike it was newly born and has been growing since then. Your song expressed that to me. I'm old 66 yrs. and disabled but you two got me up moving. Jenny I recognized, and loved, some of your moves. You made me get out of my chair and shake it for a change. The first part looked like a place I used to live, 🤮, too funny and true. Thank you both for a fun song and video. Now what's the bet?? More magic please!

    Hi James,
    Jenny sent me, with a homework assignment.
    A charming song and video.
    This appears to be about a fan who is following his favorite stage act, Judy and Hugh, who bring light and joy into his or her life. "Hand me the road map, I think we're heading south, Back due to popular demand" suggests traveling to wherever Judy and Hugh are playing.
    This happier reverse point of view to Billy Joel's excellent "Piano Man" now resides in a few of my playlists.
    Thanks.

  • @lalaland9678
    @lalaland9678 Před rokem +16

    Sent by J and I'd love to do a midnight musing on the song's meaning, especially since it's got a nice playful beat and a catching music video.
    The song and video makes me think this song is about something along the lines of addictions/substance usage, namely drugs and/or alcohol or something mind-altering, though it could be a number of things (I've spotted a guy stuck to his phone, someone eating, a religious man and many others, so it seems quite general). The names "Judy & Hugh" could be placeholder names, and the tales of J & H knowing how to have fun, dance and overall party. The words that rhyme and mesh together sound kind of like gibberish in the beginning. The sudden deep voice caught me way off guard and sounds almost distorted which could elude to something unnaturally reality-altering or confusing.
    The lyrics about questions -- "What are you saying", "What's that in your mouth? A language I don't understand", "Hand me the roadmap, I think we're heading south" could be in some kind of stupor hopping from club to club, or since it's at the end of the song too it could be becoming sober and forgetting a lot of the ways of abusive substances but having only a vague direction of where you'd wish to go in life. Or confusion in general, losing senses, forgetting things, not knowing where you are. Or it could just be someone out of their element experiencing life in a spontaneous, unplanned way.
    The music video with everyone looking tired, down, unenthused also gives me rehabilitation vibes. Maybe everyone's struggling with their own things, sitting at different tables, wearing different clothing, doing different activities. I love how they all come together in the end to dance and connect despite differences. A really nice vibe to the whole song.
    Just throwing ideas out there, though. Various mental illnesses and disorders could also fit in with the song, but heaps of other things completely unrelated to addiction or mental health could too. It could be about separating yourself from toxic people and moving on with your life, opening yourself up to new experiences spontaneously, accepting it's okay not to understand everything, work on bettering yourself for the long run, going around and connecting with people you've never thought to before or something entirely different. It's wonderfully ambiguous. Great work!

  • @mirascraftycorner
    @mirascraftycorner Před rokem

    What a catchy song!
    With the video in mind (and the other comments), it could be about a funeral, though I first thought it’s like a high school reunion and no one really wants to be there and they’re just staying for Judy and Hugh. The guy at the end is a classmate who’s passed away and is with them in spirit

Then again, there're Judy and Hugh, the parents of Jimmy Neutron, from the cartoon Jimmy Neutron, but, I kind of doubt that one. No matter, it's got my toes taping, great song, fun video.

    This is wonderfully catchy, right off the bat I think this song is about a person being dragged to a party where swinging might happen, but the singer is apprehensive because they've been dreading this party for weeks, and is quickly planning their escape with the person who brought them.

    Jenny Draper @JDraper sent me by. I like this song; it's catchy, & your voice is very good.
    Is this the wake for Graham Prendigrass, & are Judy & Hugh his children?
    After reading everyone's comments, I have another idea. I'm not English so the references to alcohol (Judy & Huge) eluded me.
    Is this a AA meeting, everyone standing, one by one saying, "Hi, I'm so & so, & I'm an alcoholic. The last gentleman who stood is the newest member of this group, & he had to be encouraged to stand & introduce himself, & he is also the writer of this song. Maybe Graham Prendigrass was the moderator/lead of the AA meeting, one of the AA sponsors, or a fellow member of the AA group who died from an alcohol-related disease. (Just a thought.)
