Oh man, I love this delightful little doo wop extravaganza so much. It is really amusing the way they cram all the syllables of 'somebody's in love with somebody' into these tiny spaces, little doo wop tongue twisters similar to the bombababom sound of songs like 'Blue Moon'.
John is in love with Joan, but Joan loves Jim, who is in love with 'someone I know.' I wonder who that person is...Jane? It could go on and on. The narrator (John?) was involved with Joan but they had a quarrel. Too bad.
favorite moments: the way one of the guys hits the high note on the word 'love' the second time through the title passage.
This song is available on Sun Ra's Singles compilation.
