I need the Limbo Song!!!

[adamdiehl]

I need the Limbo Song ten days from now!! But I don't know the title of the song, who wrote it, who performed it, which decade it was recorded in, or what CD its on. I just can remember hearing it at the Roller-Skating rink when I was a kid and they played Skate-Limbo.

Something like:
Jack B. Nimble Jack B. Quick, Jack jumped over the candlestick....

that's all I can remember. It's sort of reggae, though.
If I can somehow purchase that 1 song it'd be great... but if I have to I'll get the whole CD.

Help!

That is a good point, but after a couple of days, I have lost my power to edit it.

So it will take a higher power to take Limbo Rock's lyrics off the page.

the beetlejuice soundtrack has a song that's great for limbo.

hey thanks Steve! That's exactly the song. And I guess I was a little off on those words!

Does an all-church picnic count as Publicly?????

[nathandiehl]

adam,
any church activity is public (if it involves more than 1 person).

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't you be able to legally post the lyrics on here?

if that doesn't make sense, there are some great posts in the copyright section of this forum that i would suggest reading. BEWARE: you'll get a LOT of different opinions, but know that David Redell is a genius! anything he says you can pretty much count as accurate!
