Always cry with this song, I loved it before I had kids, now my world is exactly like this lyrics ❤

[@QualeQualeson]

Unique, unpredictable and super charismatic artist. I was watching another jazz singer, and not knowing too much about what goes into it, I was marvelling at how she combined some really high level technical stuff with a playful, almost careless demeanour. So asked in the comments and someone told me that exactly this expression is among the highest ideals in jazz and jazz vocals. It's "the cool", and Rickie Lee Jones has it coming out of her ears.

[@leoray1234]

Well said, this song is incredible difficult to sing, just even from a lyrical perspective, but the tempo, the swing phrasing, and she just makes it sound like no big deal. ..

I am in love

[@Lynz261]

wow, that is so cool. loved it. Love her. It's like the essential mom song, I can totally relate. I lost touch with RLJ's music some time back. Just recently I stumbled across her book, reading it now for 2nd time and it is a world reopening experience, It's affected me like her music always did, I've laughed out loud, I've cried, and thought a lot, it's takes me into a world I grew up in but had long forgotten, and I gotta say I miss those times, just didn't realize how much I did and how much I missed music made by artists, and this artist in particular. I highly recommend the book to all generations not just boomers. The name is "Last Chance Texaco, the chronicles of an American troubadour" So I am searching for every song from every album I missed(making a Christmas wish list as well) and rediscovering the great Rickie Lee Jones.

Are you going to be blk balled for the rest of time, and if so may I finally meat you before I leave town, you won't have to leave your infirmary, I'll gladly cook a vegetable stir fry for you and trummy and all the guys. How many suits do you have room for ? They are all 40 long now, but after you wash them clean.

I love this song and must listen to it every few months to be reminded how much I love this song....

[@susanb4213]

Just saw her perform in Dallas, and she still has it...unfortunately, she did not sing this song. She was playing with just a percussionist and keyboardist, so maybe that's why-no saxophonist/string bassist.

[@teresaa.morris5478]

She is so ahead of her times. Complicated change ups...and I don't even have a background in music.

[@FreshGrey-pm4vw]

this was 30+ yrs ago- saw her in the 80's. she was great.

[@pianistshowtoplaycompimpro8093]

Awesome take and interpretation, fantastic singer!

One of my favorite song from Rickie Lee Jones. Such a feeling and meaning and musicality in every words . You're a musical treasure ! Great concert yesterday at Jazz Festival in France.

[@lajavaantoine2796]

Very nice rendition of a great tune written by Bobby Timmons in 1960, famous jazz pianist who unfortunately died at very young age. I suppose Rickie wrote the words on it.

Hey mama, what's that there? And what's that doing there? Hey mama, up here! Mama, hey look at that over there! And what's that doing there? And where're they going there? And mummy can I have that big elephant over there? Who's that in my chair? And what's he doing there? Mummy, up here! Mummy, can I go over there? Hey mummy, what is square? And where do we get air? And mummy can I have that big elephant over there? Quizzical kid! She doesn?t want anything here Just forever to manage to know who what why or where! Inquisitive child! Sometimes the questions get wild! Like mommy can I have that big elephant over there? Don't wanna comb my hair And where's my teddy bear? And Mamma, hey Look at the cowboy coming there! And can I have a pair Of boots like that to wear? And mummy can I have that big elephant over there? Time will march Days will go And little baby's going to grow I gotta tell her what she needs to know I'll help her along And she'll be strong And she'll know right from wrong As life's parade goes marching by She's gonna need to know some reasons why I don't have all the answers But I'll try to do what I can We?ll make a plan you give the kid your best And hope she?ll pass the test And finally send her out into the world somewhere and though she's grown up I bet I never will forget Mummy, can I have that big elephant over there? Hey why they do that there? And how you put that there? Hey mummy, up here! Hey mummy, what that say up there? Hey mummy, what is fair? How come I have to share? And mummy can I have that big elephant over there?

[@jurgenhoffman3560]

Yeah, Oscar Brown Jr.'s lyrics are great and match well this amazing Bobby Timmons composition.

Hi. Thanks

it's a darling song, but the arch-cleverness of the rhymes makes a guy nod off after a while.

Does there exist a dvd of this performance ? I mean the whole concert ! Anyone .... thx ;-)

[@Lynz261]

Yes. I found a copy on eBay. It's just entitled Rickie Lee Jones Live at the Wiltern Theatre. It's great

[@clarkhutchens9407]

Good but prefer the Eddie Jefferson version.

[@barrycowan3540]

I love Eddie Jefferson, but I'll take the Oscar Brown, Jr. version - he was absolutely brilliant and he wrote the lyrics to this great Bobby Timmons tune.

[@Skynaria]

Nice instrumental, but that vocalist needs a lot of practice.

[@chperrone]

+Peach Mew I'm curious, what did you think was wrong with her performance?

[@Hanaakai]

+ Carlos Perrone if you know jazz, do not know if you know, I really do not know much , this song is the genre HARD BOP. to my knowledge , it should be sung in a more strict and fine fashion, and sing specific notes ... but in the end it is a matter of taste and interpretation .

[@stephanemignot100]

+Peach Mew Rickie Lee Jone, needing practicee, of course, open your mind, her own interpretation, ah, you, jazz and classical integrits...
