We got hooked up to Jupiter One three years ago when they appeared on the Madden 08 soundtrack (with this very song). Straight outta Brooklyn, the band has been one of our favorites ever since … particularly after their drummer sent us an advance copy of their debut album.
Below is “Countdown …”
Oh, and remember this website is your jukebox. If you’ve got a song you want to hear, email us … and be sure to scroll down beneath the lyrics to see all the other songs we’ve played previously …
JUPITER ONE: “COUNTDOWN”
And so it begins
Countdown can you think of the reason
Why you so love it downtown
I met you in the middle of the scandalous town
It’s a miracle you’re walking around
Countdown in a dark town
And so it begins
It started with a minute of your favorite sound
A sexy little secret of a radio song
I wish it wasn’t floating around
Countdown to a tight sound
And so it begins
Can you think of a reason
That it’s your favorite town
It caught you with your finger on a video girl
America is watching you now
Whoa! Countdown to a night gown
Hey now, wake up!
It’s a beautiful day
Hey now, look up!
You’re always turning away
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It’s a brand new day
And you shouldn’t be fading away
And so it begins
Countdown it’s the time of the season
That you’re a man around town
Imagination taking you where no one else can
Floating on sins that surround
Countdown to a dark town
And so it begins
It’s a menace with the promise of a medicine man
As fatal as the making of a serial fan
Come over here as soon as you can
Whoa! Countdown to a dark brown
Hey now, wake up!
It’s a beautiful day
Hey now, look up!
You’re always turning away
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It’s a brand new day
And you shouldn’t be fading away
And so it begins
Countdown can you think of the reason
Why you so love it downtown
I met you in the middle of the scandalous town
It’s a miracle you’re walking around
Countdown in a dark town
And so it begins
It started with a minute of your favorite sound
A sexy little secret of a radio song
I wish it wasn’t floating around
Whoa! Countdown to a tight sound
Hey now, wake up!
It’s a beautiful day
Hey now, look up!
You’re always turning away
Are you falling asleep?
Hey now, wake up!
Are you looking away?
Hey now, look up!
Are you watching?
It’s a brand new day
And you shouldn’t be fading away
And so it begins …
