About Let's Have a Party

"Let's Have a Party" is a 1957 song written by Jessie Mae Robinson and recorded by Elvis Presley for the movie Loving You. Wanda Jackson recorded the song for her first album, Wanda Jackson, released in 1958. The song was released as a single by Jackson in 1960 and entered the UK chart on 1 September of that year, spending eight weeks there and reaching #32; it also reached #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960. The Jackson version was later featured in the 1989 film Dead Poets Society. Paul McCartney also recorded and released the song (under the title "Party") on his 1999 Run Devil Run album. His original song "Run Devil Run", on the album of the same name, also has a similar melody. A cover of "Let's Have a Party" by Sonia was included on the 2010 remastered edition of her 1989 album Everybody Knows. The song was included under the title "Party" in the Broadway musical Million Dollar Quartet, which opened in New York in April 2010. It was sung by Robert Britton Lyons, portraying Carl Perkins, as well as by the company of the show, and was covered by Robert Britton Lyons and the company on the Million Dollar Quartet original Broadway cast recording. In T. Rex's 1972 concert film Born to Boogie, Marc Bolan and Ringo Starr attempt to recite one of the lyrics from the song ("some people like to rock, some people like to roll, but movin' and a-groovin's gonna satisfy my soul"). However, they break into laughter each time.

Some people like to rock
Some people like to roll
But moving and a-grooving gonna satisfy my soul
Let's have a party.
Whoa, let's have a party
Send them to the store let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight.

I've never kissed a bear
I've never kissed a coon
But I shake a chicken in the middle of the room
Let's have a party.
Whoa, let's have a party
Send them to the store let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight.

Honky Tonky Joe
Is knocking at the door
Bring him and fill him up and send him on the floor.
Let's have a party.
Whoa, let's have a party
Send them to the store let's buy some more
Let's have a party tonight.

The meat is on the stove
The bread is getting hot
Everybody come and take a part of mamma's shot
Let's have a party.
Whoa, let's have a party
Sending him to the store let's have some more
Let's have a party tonight.

We're gonna have a party tonight.

Mud

Mud is a mixture of water and some combination of soil, silt, and clay. Ancient mud deposits harden over geological time to form sedimentary rock such as shale or mudstone (generally called lutites). When geological deposits of mud are formed in estuaries the resultant layers are termed bay muds. Mud is closely related to slurry and sediment. more »
