It is dreadful. IMO Cee lo should just stick to hip-hop.  Goodie Mobb was wonderful.

Today, this followed a Stevie Wonder hit (yes, I know he has dozens) that had an interesting song comment.  The comment was something like this: "I wonder what the '70s would have been like if we had today's technology then."

Well, I assume that Stevie Wonder would sound a lot like Gnarls Barkley.  Same vibe that gets you moving, with Stevie lyrics to make a societal point.  Got no idea what Diana Ross or Led Zeppelin would sound like.  The Beatles' sound, of course, would not change one whit.

Thanks; I'll go now.

Cee Lo's vocals were recorded in 1 take.  Impressive.

I think we can all agree there are much more appealing versions, but this is a good one as well and i will be adding it to my collection.

I like it.  Someone suggeted it has an "honest Motown feel," which I can certainly feel.  It's fun, poppy, and makes me wonder why I'm not doing some sidewalk boogie in my Chuck Taylors.

Tired of hearing this on Clear Channel stations and then hearing it here too?  Fine — do what I do and give up Clear Channel stations.  I rarely hear this song, and I love it.  Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut, much like the mainstream radio industry found this gem of a song.

If you just plain don't like the song on its own merits, that's fine.  Feel free to dislike it.  But if your gripe is that you're hearing it too many places, then you need to change your environment.  For me, it absolutely belongs in the RP mix, no question.
 

Hear, hear!!!!

I would have to agree that this song is very worthy of the RP bitstream.

from what I've read, Brian Burton is not as corporate as listening to this song might let you think. only because it was a "smash hit", doesn't make it corporate imho.

you might wanna check on the following link. i find the list of the people -he collaborated with / worked for so far- pretty impressive. even some "indie"-veterans amongst them! ;o)

Rolling Stone #1 song of the decade of the 2000's.
I guess I am just one of the hoi polloi because I agree.
Somehow I never get tired of it; even had it as my ringtone a couple of years.
(Now my ringtone is Los Lonely Boys- My Way. Wonder why they aren't on RP?)

On another note, he gets high ratings for his short arms. Those things are amazing.
 

I am so sick and tired of people who think that extremely popular songs that get played too much on terrestial radio should be low rated or flat out not played on RP.

This is a freaking great song and definitely needs to be part of the eclectic RP mix.

Maybe I'm craaaaazyyyyyy, but I don't listen to freaking terrestrial radio anymore so the only times I get to hear this are on RP or when it pops up if I'm playing my collection on random.

And I love it when it does.

I like this enough I bought the CD but its mastered so poorly with lots of compression and the volume is maxed to where it actually splats. You can see it when its loaded into Audacity. WTF are they thinking. That type of distortion is especially annoying on electrostats...

Sometimes, it just cannot be defined.  The first time I heard this tune I thought it was some obscure, album track from an unknown, early-1970's, soul artist.  It has that kind of sound to it.
