Trivia
Tot begin jaren tachtig van de vorige eeuw werkte Dave als keyboard-speler in groepen en componeerde hij lange, complexe instrumentele nummers. In 1981 ging het roer om, Dave gaat zelf songs schrijven, arrangeren en produceren. Direct de eerste single (de Motown-song 'What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted', met Colin Blunstone als zanger) heeft succes. Dave gaat vanaf die tijd verder samen met zijn vrouw Barbara Gaskin. Sinds die tijd werken ze als Stewart/Gaskin samen.

Songtekst
Everybody's doing a brand new dance now
(Come on, baby, do the Loco-motion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on, baby, do the Loco-motion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your ABCs
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on, baby, jump up, jump back
Well, I think you got the knack, whoa, whoa
Now that you can do it let's make a chain now
(Come on, baby, do the Loco-motion)
A chuga chuga motion like a railroad train now
(Come on, baby, do the Loco-motion)
Do it nice and easy now, don't loose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lotta soul
Come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Move around the floor in a Loco-motion
(Come on, baby, do the Loco-motion)
Do it holding hands if you do get the notion
(Come on, baby, do the Loco-motion)
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
So come on, come on, do the Loco-motion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
That's right, you're doing fine
Come on, baby
Mmm, jump up, jump back
You're looking cool
Mmm, jump up, jump back
