The Loco-Motion
"The Loco-Motion" is a 1962 pop song written by American songwriters Gerry Goffin and Carole King. "The Loco-Motion" was originally written for Dee Dee Sharp but Sharp turned the song down. The song is notable for appearing in the American Top 5 three times – each time in a different decade, performed by artists from three different cultures: originally African American pop singer Little Eva in 1962 (U.S. No. 1);〔(Little Eva, "The Loco-Motion" Chart Positions ) Retrieved March 21, 2015〕 then American band Grand Funk Railroad in 1974 (U.S. No. 1);〔(Grand Funk Railroad, "The Loco-Motion" Chart Positions ) Retrieved March 21, 2015〕 and finally Australian singer Kylie Minogue in 1988 (U.S. No. 3).〔(Kylie Minogue, "The Loco-Motion" Chart Positions ) Retrieved March 21, 2015〕
The song is a popular and enduring example of the dance-song genre: much of the lyrics are devoted to a description of the dance itself, usually done as a type of line dance. However, the song came before the dance.
"The Loco-Motion" was also the second song to reach No. 1 by two different musical acts. The earlier song to do this was "Go Away Little Girl", also written by Goffin and King. It is one of only nine songs to achieve this feat.〔(Billboard Hot 100 Chart 50th Anniversary )〕
