Great Scott!
Hazel Scott · Great Scott!
He dances overhead
On the ceiling near my bed
In my sight
Throughout the night
I try to hide in vain
Underneath my counterpane
But there's my love
Up above
I whisper "Ooh-wee, my lover
It's not fair"
But I'm so grateful to discover
He's still there
I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love
On the ceiling near my bed
In my sight
Throughout the night
I try to hide in vain
Underneath my counterpane
But there's my love
Up above
I whisper "Ooh-wee, my lover
It's not fair"
But I'm so grateful to discover
He's still there
I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love
About Great Scott!
"Great Scott!" shows how a single track can carry a listener toward Hazel Scott's larger sound. Rather than relying on unsupported chart or album claims, a useful blurb can describe the recording in terms of feel: the shape of its hook, the pacing of the arrangement, and the attitude suggested by the title. Songs with concise titles often work because they leave room for the performance to define the meaning. In that sense, "Great Scott!" is best treated as a focused listening point, a track whose value comes from mood, replayability, and the artist's recognizable presence.
