I just love this song!

this song hurts

I love this song too.I remember when The Jets first came out in late 1985.Hits like "Curiosity" and "Crush On You" were cool songs but many people dismissed them as a bubblegum pop group.But the third single "You Got It All" really caught people by surprise.This tune was a decidely mature song,and it did extremely well on the Adult Contemporary charts too.It's a wonderful ballad with an unforgettable chorus...


"Don't you know,don't you know
You Got It All over him,you got me over him
Honey it's true,there's just you
You must have been heaven-sent,hearing me call you when
Out on a limb
And you're all that he's not,just look what I got
Cause You Got It All,over him"


GREAT SONG!

Their Curiosity is Prince LRC ..listen. Just like the long version dance mix of Little Red Corvette and that geetar sound is Prince style! David Z produced (Bobbys brother?).

i went to junior with 3 gyrls from the jets!!!
i used to love them soo much !! funny how i practically forgot about them until this thread was posted LOL

you did? cool..big family they have.

In 1986,Prince offered the song "Neon Telephone" to the Jets for their second album.But the Jets turned it down because they didn't think it was "strong enough" for the album.

On a related note,a track on their second album---the hit "Rocket 2 U"---was originally offered to Earth Wind and Fire,but they turned it down for similiar reasons.

yep I Remember.Bobby Nunn wrote 'Rocket 2 U"&it fit the Jets better."Neon Telephone" was best served to the 3'Oclock.forgetable track except for the last part.I bought there stuff But I didn't Respect there Stylings until the Fellows took over the Leads.when dude hit that Note in "Rocket 2 U" then I was like ok you got something.

It hurts in the way of the emotions of what was happening at the time when it was out..good melancholy feel etc even when it was new

A favorite of mine. It might be cheesy, but it's a good kind of cheesy- I love it!

rdhull said:

yep...and i used to go roller skating with 2 of the gyrls every weekend i wonder what happened to them

"Curiosity" was my all time favorite Jet's song.

Remember what they looked like? They all resembled one another, except the red-haired one who looked a little like Harpo Marx . He was adopted.

good quote&that was one of the few jams that the Girls sung on lead that I actually liked.it was catchy.

The only one I really like is "Rocket 2 U."
