The Donkeys – Excelsior Lady

The Donkeys – Excelsior Lady from Living on the Other Side, 2008.

An adaptation of this song (called Dharma Lady) was heard in LOST Season 5: Episode 316. It is playing in the DHARMA van Jin is driving when he finds Jack, Hurley, and Kate following their return to the island. Unless I’m mistaken, all of the songs used in the show so far have been actual songs from whatever time period they’re showing. Since The Donkeys definitely weren’t around in 1974, I’m wondering if Excelsior Lady is supposed to be by Geronimo Jackson (Edit: Confirmed!). I’m digging their music and think they’re worth checking out. They’re even offering a few of their songs to download for free on their website.

The Donkeys – Excelsior Lady Lyrics

Excelsior Lady
How’ve you been?
Are we lovers
(Or are we just friends?)
Oh I believe. Oh I believe
I’m in love again.

Oh you’re kissin’
It feels so right
But you had another man holed up last night
Oh I believe. Oh I believe
I’m in love again
Alright!

I can always tell
when you’ve been drinkin’
But I never know
What the hell you’re thinkin’
I believe. Oh I believe
I’m in love again

You say one thing once
And two things twice
I’m so confused
I can’t take my own advice
Oh I believe. Oh I believe
I’m in love again
Oh I believe. Oh I believe
I’m in love again
Alright!
