Radio Paradise (mobile)

Everyone's feeling pretty
It's hotter than July
Though the world's full of problems
They couldn't touch us even if they tried
From the park I hear rhythms
Marley's hot on the box
Tonight there will be a party
On the corner at the end of the block

Chorus: Didn't know you would be jammin'
until the break of dawn
I bet you nobody ever told you
That you would be jammin' until the
break of dawn
You would be jammin' and jammin' and
jammin', jam on

They want us to join their fighting
But our answer today
Is to let all our worries
Like the breeze through our fingers slip away
Peace has come to Zimbabwe
Third World's right on the one
Now's the time for celebration
'Cause we've only just begun

Chorus: Didn't know that you would be
jammin' until the break of dawn
Bet you nobody ever told you that you
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Bet you nobody ever told you that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of
the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
I know nobody told you that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of
the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
We're jammin', jammin', jam on

You ask me am I happy
Well as a matter of fact
I can say that I'm ecstatic
'Cause we all just made a pact
We've agreed to get together
Joined as children in Jah
When you're moving in the positive
Your destination is the brightest star

Chorus: You didn't know that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of
the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
I bet you nobody ever told you that you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of
the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, you
(We're in the middle of the makin's of
the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
Don't you stop the music, oh no,
(We're in the middle of the makin's of
the master blaster jammin')
(repeat background)
Oh, Oh, Oh, You
(We're in the middle of the makin's of
the master blaster jammin')
Would be jammin' until the break of dawn
I bet you if someone approached you
yesterday to tell you that you would be
jammin' you would not believe it
because you never thought that you
would be jammin'
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,
(We're in the middle of the makin's of
the master blaster jammin')
Jammin' til the break of dawn
Oh, Oh, Oh, You may as well believe what
you are feeling because you feel your
body jammin'
Oh, Oh, you would be jammin' until the break of dawn
(We're in the middle of the makin's of the
master blaster jammin')

Kolohe_Girl May 12, 2012 - 23:39	My favorite Stevie Wonder album! I had this one and I knew all the words to all the songs back in the day... Good memories... [ Reply ]
Limpopoking Jan 07, 2012 - 03:00	Peace has come to Zimbabwe... Nice Even at the time, shortly after 1980, there were about 10 000 Matabele who would have disagreed had they been allowed to live. [ Reply ]

(Edit: I dug out the vinyl and did the research. I don't care what Wikipedia says... it doesn't sound like reggae to me. I'm gonna call it Stevie.) It was what Americans thought reggae was in 1980. Great Stevie, not great reggae. [ Reply ]

I have spent a good deal of my life listening to dub and reggae and this is certainly not what it is (in my humble opinion obviously). Thank you. I guess it could be considered "reggae-influenced" if that's a better term. The instrumentation (dampered guitar, timbale drum fills, Hammond-style organ, etc.) is certainly inspired by a song like "Get Up Stand Up" - which happened to follow it this time. [ Reply ]

It's Stevie Wonder doing his version of Reggae and that's indeed something else. [ Reply ]
