Aitken may refer to:
Lorenzo Aitken (22 April 1927 – 17 July 2005), better known by the stage name Laurel Aitken, was an influential Caribbean singer and one of the pioneers of Jamaican ska music. He is often referred to as the "Godfather of Ska".
Born in Cuba of mixed Cuban and Jamaican descent, Aitken and his family settled in Jamaica in 1938. After an early career working for the Jamaican Tourist Board singing mento songs for visitors arriving at Kingston Harbour, he became a popular nightclub entertainer. His first recordings in the late 1950s were mento tunes such as "Nebuchnezer", "Sweet Chariot" (aka the gospel classic "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot") and "Baba Kill Me Goat". Aitken's 1958 single "Boogie in My Bones"/"Little Sheila" was one of the first records produced by Chris Blackwell and the first Jamaican popular music record to be released in the United Kingdom. Other more Jamaican rhythm and blues orientated singles from this period include "Low Down Dirty Girl" and "More Whisky" both produced by Duke Reid.

Plot: Late in World War II, the Brits still want their hands on a German Enigma, the typewriter-like machine that constructs and sends coded messages. Parachuting behind enemy lines - with two days to find the factory where Enigmas are made, grab one, and get out - are an unlikely quartet: a queen, a pencil pusher, a bookworm, and an almost secret agent. Plus they are all dressed as women, with only a crash course from the queen. They reach their destination, rendezvous with their German contact, a lovely librarian, and start their search. They seemed doomed to fail; is this a fool's errand?

Time...its supposed to heal our wounds
Joy...I never knew till I met you
On that summer night in the moonlight
When you were there by my side
Peace...it only comes when I have you
(when I have you)
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
Love is the only thing that I have left
And now I know Im no better than the rest
And I try and I try to win you back
With every line in my heart and mind dream
Of the time when you were by my side
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go, no, no
Never let you go
Never let you go
Oh no, no
Never let you go
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
If you put your arms around me
I can never (ever) let you go
If you put your arms around me
