it's a groovy little dance and groovy little tune
get you out of your chair just dancing on the floor
yeah everybody's the jake
everybody's doing the jake

it's a hop, stomp, shake your hips
hands in the air as you spin spin spin
yeah everybody's the jake

freeze and close your eyes
let the world pass right by
open them now and you will see
everyone is happy as can be
cause everybodys doing the jake
yeah everybodys doing the jake

everybodys doing the jake
everybodys doing the jake
everybodys doing the jake

Love the feel of it! Has the groove of a dance song for sure, but a little darker and moodier sounding, rather than the more expected bubblegum feel for a dance song. Made it interesting!

The Jake sounds like how I dance when I eat good food or am feeling particular good mooded.
That chord progression sounds really cool on your uke. Definitely has some modern EDM character to it.
The playfulness of the lyrics paired with what my ears convey as an intimate 'voice+uke' performance makes for an enjoyable listen that made hit play twice.
Was gonna say I can hear all sorts of synths, new-retro drums, and all the fixins' of electro music being added to this - but honestly, I think the coolness is in the lyrics and the simple sound of voice+uke.
Really digged (dug?) this.
