I was in the shower and had to hear this crap.. I almost killed myself because of this music

I definitely prefer the version by Flim and the BB's.

Hah... this is why I love Radio Paradise.

In my ears... this is HORRIBLE.

Someone just turned on The Weather Channel's 1984 Local Forecast on my Radio Paradise.  I can't find one redeeming quality to this song.

But you guys love it so... enjoy ;-)

I have always loved this whole album.

This music is soooo good for the ears...

Wow, that is one really ugly album cover

OMG Heard the intro to this and thought Weather Report? So fitting for RP

Perhaps my favourite Birdland cover. I still have the vinyl somewhere.

I think Bill may have seen my FB page today, I mentioned this song. Or maybe he was reading my mind: he's done it before...

Go Jaco!

I loved this 30 years ago, and it brings a smile to hear it again. 

But I'm not really sure it stands the test of time.  I could do without hearing it again for a couple more years.

An all-time fave of mine, thanks for slipping this in.  I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, maybe too structured and commercial-sounding for jazz purists and too uptempo for an instrumental, but i've always had a warm spot in my heart for this one.

Seems you are ignorant enough to be subject to stereotypes created by overuse of a genre for certain purposes, and you obviously don't recognize musicianship. In conclusion, leave RADIOPARADISE!

I love this radio, but I hate this music, it gave me the feeling of killing myself

Not really liking this. Sounds like some of the music from segments of the movie "Tootsie" and other films of that time period.
 
It's like Pop Soundtrack Jazz, if there were such a genre. 

Weather Report

Birdland

Buddy, I don't think I was being ageist; his immature attitude indicated to me that he was a spoiled child with little tolerance for music outside his comfort zone  He didn't stick around long, and with 45% of his ratings being '1' I 'm not surprised. There are scores of young people - teenagers - who are far more mature than people 3 or 4 times their age. I wasn't being ageist but you, on the other hand, implied that a grandfather is a dinosaur! That sounds like an ageist remark to me. I'm not a 'grandad' but I know several who are much hipper than many younger guys. The body does age, but age is also a state of mind, you are as old as you feel.

Yeah, well I'm somewhere in the middle and I think this song is pure and unadorned. And with your 45% 1 postings, I'd say we have a new Excelsior on the boards here folks.

Welcome Excelsior, oh, I mean Fluffybutt

Hm I see your age is specified. Maybe you need to be a dinosaur to like this song. Ageism bites both ways grandad.

my dog has left more pleasent surprises on my wall to wall carpeting

If only this song was as short as Amadou and Mariam and that song as long as this one...

I feel like part of me just died...

great musicianship for sure...but my gawd I am naseous and reeling! 

there's a totally square stereotypical "white" dude somewhere strolling down the street with a perma-grin, wagging his pointer finger towards the sky, and shuffling his shoulders just a bit out of time...think of the gym teacher/basketball coach from the Peyton Manning episode of SNL.

This song is truly AWFUL!!  Please don't play it anymore....  There are sooooo many far better songs in your vast library!

Anybody for the Manhattan Transfer version?
