"Hey Johnny" and the crazy, manic guy singing scat (well, scat to me) lyrics in the background ... perfect soundtrack for a sunny day with tennis shoes striding along the waterfront.  Even has a blurry hip-hop dude in a hoodie on the cover.  Yep, this is cool.

I stayed there for a month of WOW...

As long as it's not the music that you hear while you are getting your massage.  Ruins the mood and all that rot.

This is a great example of why I listen to RP—-yes, this is a different song, but incredibly beautiful, and not the sort I'd normally listen to on commercial radio.
Because they dare to play this (often enough for me to get used to a different sound), my ears become wider. (okay, do what you must with that one.)

Never thought I'd end up understanding those "oh my god, mute this!" messages. But here I am, with a frown of disgust when the song starts, only to find I had already marked it as a 1.
No idea why, but I just... well... strongly dislike this piece.

Your classification of those who don't much care for this tune as 'racists' and 'bigots' says more about you than those you attempt to slander.  And what it does say about you is . . . unpleasant at best.

Hear, hear! I agree completely. This is certainly not one of my usual songs, but I enjoy hearing it on RP. Rock on, Bill. {#Meditate}

Had to vote 3>2 this morning as I cannot wait for this song to someday be retired from RP. So many years on RP, in heavy rotation it seems, and only a 6 rating in 1600+ votes. Please make it stop.

 
Another way to look at it is that nearly 70% give it a 7 or higher rating.
