Lyrics

Â?Fast JeannieÂ?
by Cheryl Gross



verse:
ItÂ?s Saturday night, all my friends are out,
The air is hot and there ainÂ?t no doubt,
SheÂ?ll be here real soon, I just canÂ?t wait,
My carÂ?s warmed up and I have a date
With a cutie in braids and long black hair, and IÂ?m waitinÂ?

chorus:
Here comes Jeannie, sheÂ?s the queen of the street,
When it comes to a race sheÂ?s the one to beat
She sits down low in her tight blue jeans, and I love her.

verse:
I pull on up to the starting line,
Here comes Jeannie and sheÂ?s looking fine,
The man with the handkerchief is ready to go,
In one more minute weÂ?ll start this show
IÂ?ve waited all week and IÂ?m on the street, and IÂ?m ready.

chorus:
I get kinda crazy when she calls my name
My hands start shakin and sheÂ?s to blame
My heart starts beating out of control, and I need her.
(lead)
chorus:
Here comes Jeannie, sheÂ?s the queen of the street,
When it comes to a race sheÂ?s the one to beat,
Everyone knows sheÂ?s the one for me,
SheÂ?s as cute as a girl can be
We meet every week on a Saturday night,
IÂ?m always there and it feels so right,
I get kinda crazy when she calls my name,
My hands start shakin and sheÂ?s to blame,
SheÂ?s the one IÂ?ve been waiting for,
And everybody knows it, oh yea

Here comes Jeannie, a queen on the street,
I get kinda crazy when she talks to me
I love her, I love her, yes I do
I canÂ?t help myself, oh yea
I love that girl, sheÂ?s my world.

The piano parts have promise, however the quality of the piano's sound seems a bit low. The piano sounded a bit distorted to me ?

Very cool twists and turns, very interesting arrangement.

Wow! Really moving! That's very well done sir! It's a fun ditty too!

This song all boils down to the wonderfull chorus...it's a real Billy Joel type hook...old school but a real pleasant surprise after the thin opening and verses. Classic rock.

This was a nice throw back song, it reminded me of 60's rock. It had a nice ryhtem and beat. It flowed well and was lots of fun.I bet you had fun singing it.

This is a fun songs. A little blues meets the beach boys. Love the hook. Really like the guitars.

I like this tune. Good balance production and you own it. With your own style.

old skool recording has that happy days feel to it. rock/pop with a bit of a 70's feel to it.
backing vocal harmonies are cool. and the mix. nice song

very retro 60's pop rock sound...the chorus reminds me of early Beach Boys harmonies...good retro groove and arrangement...the simple lyrics also fit this retro pop rock style...the vocal was gritty which gave it a little blues flavor. the melodies were catchy and memorable and overall the song was fun and enjoyable to listen to especially the unpredictable chorus...you paid attention to the details especially in the drum track...

Instrumentation is ok. I like the 12 bar blues riff at the beginning always a classic! I think the lyrics are fairly original which is good - original lyrics are always tough! I think the beat is great - has a nice groove.

Great tune, very authentic 1950's/60's rockabilly Gene Vincent sounding stuff. Awesome hook, love it.

Love how you panned the guitars so far apart - really added a fullness to the song. I like the shift to the happy feel in the chorus as well. The tonal quality of electric piano didn't seem to fit perfectly - might have been nicer with a truer acoustic piano sound?

Outstanding. Great instrumentation, loved the changes in tempo, outstanding vocals, and I am a big harmony fanatic. You nailed it, very Beach Boys style. I would classify it more of a rock song than country, but who cares, good music is good music and this qualifies on all counts. Great job.

Starts like a regular 12 bar but the chorus comes in a surprising key change. Has a good retro feel with echoes of the Beachboys and 60's good time music. Great harmonies and a good vocal/music balance

Well...an interesting song. Could work in multiple genres.

Funon song, nice vibe, kinda like Beach Boys meet Garth Brooks!

Like the retro feel and the Dion-like vibe. Good vibe and execution.

This is really different. The way you move from a slow verse to a rocking hook. I liked it.

Great sound, good vocals/backings and fantastic recording
