01. LIVELY UP YOURSELF
(Bob Marley)
You're gonna lively up yourself, and don't be no drag
You lively up yourself 'cause reggae is another bag
You lively up yourself and don't say no
You're gonna lively up yourself 'cause I said so.
Hear what you gonna do
You rock so, you rock so
Like you never did before
You dip so, you dip so
Dip through my door.
You come so, you come so
Oh yeah
You skank so, you skank so
Be alive today!
You're gonna lively up yourself, and don't say no
You lively up yourself, big daddy say so
You lively up yourself, and don't be no drag
You lively up yourself 'cause reggae is another bag
What you got that I don't know
I'm a trying to wonder why you act so
Hey, do you hear what the man seh?
Lively up your yourself, your woman in the morning time, you'all
Keep a livelin' up your woman when the evening come and take her
You rock so, you rock so
You dip so, you dip so
You skank so, you skank so, and don't be no drag
You come so, you come so, for reggae is another bag.
Get what you got in that bag
What have you got in the other bag you got hanging there
What you say you got
I don't believe you

| ferwoman | Posted: Feb 14, 2012 - 02:08 The opening notes had me thinking someone had uploaded Tommy Bolin. Not that I didn't like what it was, but wow I think some Post Toastee would also be mighty tasty! |

| gumbo73039 (Devon, England) | Posted: Nov 30, 2009 - 07:53 I can't see the problem with reggae, there isn't wall to wall reggae on RP. I reckon the mix is goooood. 10 |

You need to think that sentence through, it makes you sound ignorant. I see you only joined R.P in July and as most of the music played here comes from all over the world you're clearly listening to the wrong station. |

I think you're in the wrong place, instead of Radio Paradise you meant to tune in to Radio Aryan White Trash. However if you stick around you might change your misguided ways. |

That would be kinda fun, as I'm old enough to remember when rock DJs would put on a whole album side at night (usually while they ran to the bathroom or got high). My intro to raggae was through my housemate Bob, AKA "Half Man Half Reefer." To this day I can't hear the opening bars of a Marley song without also hearing in the recesses of my memory the unmistakeable bubbling sound of his bong in the next room . . . What an awesome story. Here's one for you Bob (bubble bubble bubble). Also lovin this one master to another thing though i see we aren't going to Hendrix next. |

| nmcleod | Posted: Feb 19, 2009 - 00:27 Oh, Bob..........you round out my B'Day real nice..............just like a big 'ole tree, you rock my roots....reggae is music broken down to the basics.......dance, dance, dance........and when you are too tired to dance.....play soccer |
| arsenault (long beach cali US and A) | Posted: Jan 18, 2009 - 07:28 reggae is best heard with the bass set so you can feel it... its hard to explain, but it makes a big difference when its loud. once you get it, you can listen like its background music, but its almost like you have to calibrate your brain, because it comes from a different musical place than say rock music. |
| stkman (Texas) | Posted: Jan 02, 2009 - 07:28 great song, not his best version tho, Rohan Marley played for the Hurricanes |
| enidualc (Guyville) | Posted: Jan 02, 2009 - 07:21 love this.......LIVELY UP BABY! i never really got the reggae thing until i visited Bermuda!! |

They have to deconstruct, examine, explain, dissect, reconstruct, and just plain old find some reason why something just ain't their "cup of tea". I wish we still had Bob. He wouldn't know what to make of the world today, but he sure would find something to sing about, wouldn't he?  I don't think the world's that much more f$%d up now than it was in Bob's/my college time. I think he'd have a lot to say; him and Neil would both have a field day with the Bush lordship! Oh, I love reggae, but find it in small doses like we get here at RP. Same goes for the Dead, Talking Heads, bands in my college youth I'd listen to ad nauseum (kinda like Porcupine Tree today) that today-small doses are just fine. Merry Christmas! |

Oh i think he'd recognize this world alright, it would just be the oppression he'd seen in jamaica running amok on a world wide scale, the financial decisions to benefit the few/elite, being paid for by the rest of us....the lack of understanding and lack of humanity......finally the overall feeling that if it's not in my neighborhood then i don't have to worry about it  |
