Reelin’ and Rockin’

Are you ready to rock and roll? If so, then you’re in for a treat with the classic song “Reelin’ and Rockin'” by the legendary Chuck Berry. Released in 1958, this timeless tune is a true testament to the power of rock and roll music.

Chuck Berry, often referred to as the “Father of Rock and Roll,” was a pioneer in the genre and his influence can still be heard in music today. With his signature guitar riffs and energetic performances, Berry captivated audiences around the world.

“Reelin’ and Rockin'” is a prime example of Berry’s infectious sound. The song features a catchy melody, driving rhythm, and Berry’s distinctive vocals. From the moment the first chord is struck, you can’t help but tap your feet and nod your head along to the beat.

The composition history of “Reelin’ and Rockin'” is quite interesting. It was actually based on an earlier song by Berry called “Wee Wee Hours.” Berry took the bluesy rhythm of “Wee Wee Hours” and transformed it into a high-energy rock and roll anthem.

But what does the song mean? Well, it’s all about having a good time and letting loose on the dance floor. The lyrics describe a night of dancing and partying, with Berry proclaiming, “Well, I looked at my watch, it was 9:21. I said, ‘I’ll be glad when the sun go down’.”

Over the years, “Reelin’ and Rockin'” has become a staple in rock and roll history. It has been covered by numerous artists and featured in various films and TV shows. Its enduring popularity is a testament to the timeless appeal of Chuck Berry’s music.

If you’re new to Chuck Berry or just want to dive deeper into his discography, I highly recommend checking out his other hits like “Johnny B. Goode” and “Roll Over Beethoven.” Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

So, what are you waiting for? Put on your dancing shoes and give “Reelin’ and Rockin'” a spin. You’ll be transported back to the golden age of rock and roll, where the music was loud, the energy was high, and the good times never seemed to end.

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Sometimes I will, then again I think I won’tSometimes I will, then again I think I won’tSometimes I do, then again I think I don’t
Well, I looked at my watch, it was 9:21Without a rock ‘n’ roll dance, havin’ nothin’ but funAnd we rolled, reelin’ and rockin’We was reelin’ and rockin’, and rollin’ ’til the break of dawn
Well, I looked at my watch, it was 9:32There’s nothin’ I’d rather do than dance with youAnd we rolled, reelin’ and rockin’We was reelin’ and rockin’ way ’til the break of dawn
Well, I looked at my watch, it was 9:43And every time I’d spin, she’d spin with meWe reeled, reelin’ and rockin’We was reelin’ and rockin’, and rollin’ ’til the break of dawn
Well, I looked at my watch, it was 9:54I said, “Dance ballerina girl, go, go, go go”And we go, reelin’ and rockin’We was reelin’ and rockin’, and rollin’ ’til the break of dawn
Well, I looked at my watch, it was 10:05Man, I didn’t know whether I was dead or aliveBut I was rolled, reelin’ and rockin’We was reelin’ and rockin’, and rollin’ ’til the break of dawn
Well, I looked at my watch, it was 10:26But I’ma keep on dancin’ ’til I got my kicksWe were reelin’, reelin’ and rockin’We was reelin’ and rockin’, and rollin’ ’til the break of dawn
Well, I looked at my watch, it was 10:28I gotta get my kicks ‘fore it gets too lateWe were reelin’, reelin’ and rockin’We was reelin’ and rockin’, and rollin’ ’til the break of dawn
Well, I looked at my watch, it was 10:29I had to hold her hand, she was still holdin’ mineWe were reelin’, reelin’ and rockin’We was reelin’ and rockin’, and rollin’ ’til the break of dawn
Well, I looked at my watch, and to my surpriseI was dancin’ with a woman that was twice my sizeWe were reelin’, reelin’ and rockin’I was reelin’ and rockin’, and rollin’ ’til the break of dawn
Well, I looked at my watch, and it was time to goThe band leader said, “We ain’t playin’ no mo'”We were reelin’, reelin’ and rockin’We was reelin’ and rockin’ way ’til the break of dawn
