Radio Paradise (mobile)

Doo, doo, do-loo-doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, do-loo-doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, do-loo-doo, doo, doo
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo
You jump in front of my car when you, you know all time, that-ah
Ninety miles an hour, girl, is the speed I drive
You tell me it's alright, heh, you don't mind a little pain
You say you just want me to take you for a drive
You're just like
(Crosstown traffic) So hard to get through to you
(Crosstown traffic) I don't need to run over you
(Crosstown traffic) All you do is slow me down
And I'm trying to get on the other side of town
I'm not the only soul who's accused of hit and run
Tire tracks all across your back, I can, heh, I can see you had your fun
But uh, darlin', can't you see my signal's turned from green to red?
And with you, I can see a traffic jam straight up ahead
You're just like
(Crosstown traffic) So hard to get through to you
(Crosstown traffic) I don't need to run over you
(Crosstown traffic) All you do is slow me down
And I got better things on the other side of town
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Yeah, yeah
(Crosstown traffic, yeah)
Look out, look out
Look out, baby
Comin' through
(Crosstown traffic, yeah) Yeah, look out
(Crosstown traffic, yeah, look out)
Look out, look out, baby
(Crosstown traffic, yeah, look out)
What's that in the street?
Move over, heh
(Crosstown traffic, yeah, look out)
Yeah!

Our wives/girlfriends thought we were friggin nuts....great show! [ Reply ]

Technically Jimi was quite a decent player (listen to how he did chord embellishments and his amazing sense of timing). However I don't think Jimi was "the best player ever" in terms of technique. Jimi was very innovative in the way he used feedback, distortion and an array of effects (wah/fuzz/octaver/backwards solos etc.) I kinda disagree with the drugs thing, I've seen (and heard) footage of concerts where he was obviously strung out and they were quite bad (basically one long psychadelic and incoherent guitar solo). The concerts where he seemed sober are much better. Actually, these were the times when he was not high on psychedelics. [ Reply ]
Ndugu Apr 09, 2009 - 18:13	Two great things about this track: 1) The metaphor - getting through to her is like getting through Crosstown Traffic , which even in 1968 wasn't easy. 2) The kazoo. Is this the most popular song featuring the instrument? [ Reply ]
audiophelia Apr 08, 2009 - 11:52	I was ~just~ thinking agout this song this morning! Thank You!!! Woooooo! Jimi!!! [ Reply ]

You guys have to put this in perspective, this was the psychedelic era, when he and others were back stage wasn't uncommon to take whatever somebody handed them so they did get blasted alot on stage. Alot of his concerts there were technical difficulties with amps etc. I saw him numerous times and some concerts were ragged others especially the early ones with Mitch and Noel were great. Jimi didn't read or write music, he picked up guitar and played like nobody had ever heard before [ Reply ]

I'm still a little to close to my love for Hendrix to suffer much criticism of his work. Sure he was addicted, and did some stupid shit, but the guys been dead for nearly forty years, for Christ's sake! Leave him alone. [ Reply ]
WonderLizard Feb 04, 2009 - 09:46	I had no idea what this song was about until I went to Manhattan for the first time and took a cab from Roosevelt Drive to Avenue of the Americas around Midtown. Coulda walked faster. [ Reply ]
