Surf music from Asia via Mars !!  Why's there no dancing alien emoticon ? All we got is them damn bananas.

How can you not like this? It's just a bit of fun.

Why are most Americans so narrow minded about anything that's not in English or that sounds foreign?  After all we are supposed to be a nation of inmigrants.   You can play any piece of crap in English and there will be tons of people buying the songs/cds, but play something in a foreign tongue and you'll get stupid comments like the ones I've read about Dengue Fever.   Listen to Celine Dion's French Canadian recordings before she "became Celine Dion"  and you'll hear more soul in her songs than the crap she's been forced to record for American tastes.  Ricky Martin was selling out stadiums in Japan, India, Australia, and all over Europe singing in Spanish before he "became Ricky Martin" and no one here knew who he was. If I had been a recording company exec I'd have fired my entire staff.

My Paradigms are digging this!

Despite the negative comments, I think it's okay.  One of their few I like.

This is just so dang groovy... this song is good for the ears...

It does make the musical selection eclectic.  That's the best thing I can say about the song.

PLEASE DONT . ı HAD FUN :p

I like it.... but then that's just me!

If it doesn't stop, I'm going to drop it to a "2."

WHAT is this crap????   

It really sucks, and not in a good way.

It's got kind of a cool 60's retro feel. Get's you groovin'. Great title.  

OK, I still really don't like the vocals, but it's a cool sound so I'll bump it up to 4.  I know, so generous of me!

Rockin' tune.

I hear many bands for the first time on RP.
Many times, the first time I hear them, I think 'what the heck is this?  bleeeeagh!'
After a few (or a few dozen) times, I start to understand the merits of this new band, and why Bill plays them.  Sometimes, I even become a fan and begin exploring them on my own.

Dengue Fever is not one of those bands.  Bleeeeagh.

I LOOOOOOOVE this song :) 

Two of my favorites back to back——Arctic Moneys and Dengue Fever!  Let's here it for diversity....

Dengue Fever is back? Arrrggggghhh .....

It's a rather faster tempo than TD/Schulze, and the blarting, honking sax is IMHO reminiscent of Morphine. I get your point, though. Hypnotic, right enough.

Right on Fred!  I am thrilled that Bill hasn't succumbed to the relentless whining of that joker and some others.  Someone please call a sitter for Excelsior, and get him a warm cup of milk for his tummy.

Back to DF, rock on!  This is a great tune, got my 8.  True enough, it's not some main stream drivel, but it does remind me of what another listener described as sounding like an updated and cooler take on what the B-52's were doing.  The sound has many layers and I enjoy that.

I really dig this. It's link a mix of old Tangerine Dream & Klaus Schulze meeting up with asian sounds, kinda hypnotic.

From Wikipedia:

Dengue Fever:

Symptoms:
This is manifested by a sudden onset of severe headache

Swear to god, look it up yourself.

Very entertaining when they play live, but this cut blows no matter how you slice it.

These guys push it. Give 'em points for that. I get tired of the experimental vocal annoyances at times, but I see some talent.

the more I hear this band, the more I wish I were deaf...
I like the sax, that is nifty...but these vocals are awful.  I can't even describe how awful, the closest thing I can come up with is a nightmare. Random utterances during a seizure?

It is truly a tropical disease

Like an Asian version of the B-52's except more fun.

I love Dengue Fever!  Thanks Bill.  To you doubters, check out the soundtrack to "Broken Flowers."  A great movie with a great soundtrack including DF.

Really? Well that puts me into the bonkers category, then, as I've rated this as an 8. Time for me to start talking to myself, making weird gestures in public, staring wildly at people, and begging for the white coat squad. Either that, or people have differing tastes and saying that someone has to be mad to enjoy a song is more bananas than Fyffes.

Love it.  Very futuristic sounding.

Yeah ... well put.

That combined with a couple of hits of slightly dodgy acid.

At least it's not Seeing Hands —- that one'll really send ya diving for the mute button.
