Ahhhh, clubbing on Honolulu in the late 80's. . . officially released in '89, this was a staple at The Wave and a couple of other trendy hot spots.  The servers knew us so well that they would bring us ice cold Stoli shots while we shook it on the floor.  

. . . good times, good times. . .

it always makes me dance—-i feel like I probably look like Bob Fossil, the zoomanager from "the Mighty Boosh" chubby but kinda cool-looking. I wish I could see him dance to this.

You should rename the station: Ian Stone's Paradise. Never has he had so much airplay.
 

I don't think a name change is necessary, however if you where going place a name change on RP based on  frequent artist air play I believe "Talking Heads" paradise should be near the top of the list.

Unfortunately, this is the only song of that particular style I ever listened... For example, rest of the same Stone Roses album is not even close... Any suggestions?
 

 

Check out some Primal Scream, Happy Mondays and you'll be happy.

And try to find the Sampler 'Rave On' (published in 1990).

The wimpy vocals really suck.  Take the same tune and add a good funk singer  - we'd have something.

Oooooh! Dere poor wittle attention spans just can't take it! Give 'em a 2 or 3 minute track so they can stop cryin'! I ain't about the lyrics, it's about the beat. I'm gonna buy this one, load it up on the iPod, jump on the bike and go cycling like a madman! peace out, steve
 
The "beat" is the problem. I'm OK with everything else here, but that lifeless drum loop really makes this drag.

Long version works real well as background music while I'm working and in great need of amusement.

And, yes, this track does run too long. Bill, how about a truncated version, e.g., the AM versions of Inagaddadavida and Light My Fire?
