Baby's Into Running Around Hanging with the crowd
Putting your business in the street talking out loud Saying you bought her this and that And how much you done spent I swear she must believe it's all heaven sent Hey boy you better bring the chick around To the sad truth the dirty lowdown (Who I wonder who) taught her how to talk like that (Who I wonder who) gave her that big idea Nothing you can't handle nothing you ain't got Put the money on the table and drive it off the lot Turn on that ole lovelight and turn a maybe to a yes Same old schoolboy game got you into this mess Hey son better get back to town Face the sad old truth the dirty lowdown (Who I wonder who) put those ideas in your head (Who I wonder who) yeah Come on back down little son Dig the low low low low lowdown You ain't got to be so bad got to be so cold This dog eat dog existence sure is getting old Got to have a Jones for this Jones for that This running with the Joneses boy Just ain't where it's at You gonna come back around To the sad sad truth the dirty lowdown (Who I wonder who) got you thinking like that boy (Who I wonder who) (Who I wonder who said who I wonder who) Oh look out for that lowdown (Who I wonder who ohh ohh) Got you thinking like that. http://youtube.com/watch?v=afBdFyE7PeE Songfact: The producers of Saturday Night Fever asked to use this in their movie, but Scaggs' manager turned them down and instead used it in the movie Looking For Mr. Goodbar. | |

That's correct.Here's some more info on that: Boz Scagg's song "Lowdown" was used in the scene where Tony and Annette are first shown practicing at the dance studio.The song was played at the same time the sequence was filmed,due to director John Badham wishing to shoot this way (a form of conduct which was not ever considered).However,Scagg's manager heard that he had used the song and forbid Badham to put it on the soundtrack.The song was removed from the film and composer David Shire composed an instrumental to be used in it's place. Can't see why Boz's people didn't want the song in this movie.Guess they didn't realize that the soundtrack would go on to sell 22 million copies,lol. | |
