We’ve got a new friend at Tim’s School: Jake. I’m going to tell something about who he is. And he isn’t a man in black!
The Blues Brothers is a 1980 American musical crime comedy film directed by John Landis. It stars John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as "Joliet" Jake and Elwood Blues, characters developed from "The Blues Brothers" musical sketch on the NBC variety series Saturday Night Live.
It features musical numbers by rhythm and blues (R&B), soul, and blues singers James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, and John Lee Hooker. The film is set in and around Chicago, Illinois, where it was filmed.
The story is a tale of redemption for paroled convict Jake and his brother Elwood, who take on "a mission from God" to save from foreclosure the Catholic orphanage in which they grew up. To do so, they must reunite their R&B band and organize a performance to earn $5,000 needed to pay the orphanage's property tax bill. Along the way, they are targeted by a destructive "mystery woman", Neo-Nazis, and a country and western band—all while being relentlessly pursued by the police
"Jailhouse Rock"
The warden threw a party in the
county jail.
The prison band was there and they
began to wail.
The band was jumping and the joint
began to swing.
You should have heard those knocked
out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock.
Spider Murphy played the tenor
saxophone,
Little Joe was blowing on the slide
trombone.
The drummer boy from Illinois went
crash, boom, bang,
the whole rhythm section was the
Purple Gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock.
Number forty-seven said to number
three:
"You're the cutest jailbird I
ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your
company,
come on and do the Jailhouse Rock
with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock.
The sad sack was sitting on a block
of stone
way over in the corner weeping all
alone.
The warden said, "Hey, buddy,
don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a
wooden chair."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock.
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For
Heaven's sake,
no one's looking, now's our chance
to make a break."
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said,
"Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get
my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock.
