YEA!!!!    {#Music}
Brings back the memories.

IMHO this song doesn't play enough.  I'd love to see it in a few more sets. 

edit:
if you are using google chrome and your smilies look like this {#Frown} after you submit your post; you need to do a little more work.

While editing your post first insert the smillie; then click on the {#Roflol}where your smillie should be.  Edit the image properties by clicking on the tree in the icon row next to the horse shoe, or is that an omega symbol?  Change the 'http://www.radioparadise.coms' to 'scripts' and hit tab.  It's worked for me so far.

{#Cheers}  hope it works for you as well.

Edit, Edit:

{#Mrgreen}
Another way is to click the HTML button way on the right when editing your comment. Find the image you want and then again change the 'http://www.radioparadise.coms' to 'scripts' {#Mrgreen}

If it disappears completely you will need to do a bit more editing. Find the img tag. It looks like this:
<img style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="{#Stop}" src="scripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/icon_stop.gif" alt="{#Stop}" width="0" height="0" />
Take out the style attribut and put in border="0" and take out the height and width. Like this
<img border="0" title="{#Stop}" src="scripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/icon_stop.gif" alt="{#Stop}" width="0" height="0" />
And again it's worked so far for me. Good luck. {#Cheers}

Whatever you think about Chris Isaak, and I'm mildly a fan of the music, that voice is one the best of all time.

I was a bit worried during the first lines, that Mr. Isaac was about to sing:
"Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron"
Eventually all was well.

Yes, that is exactly how this station works.

Radio Paradise is run by two people, Bill and Rebecca Goldsmith in Paradise, California. Since they are human beings who must eat, sleep and so on, they can't be online 24/7. Accordingly, they use the same combinations of music occasionally (called "sets") to make things flow smoothly. Rest assured that this music is carefully selected, for theme, flow, tempo and so on.

Would you rather hear the same sequences of carefully selected music occasionally (for example, when I hear George Winston's Spanish Caravan I KNOW a Doors tune is coming up next), or listen to crappy commercial radio, or listen to a random shuffle with no thought put into it? I'll take Radio Paradise hands down.

 

Oops! I should read the whole thread first. You said it much better than I.

Well, what would you like to hear repeated? The reason I support RP is because they "repeat" about 17 cool tunes from time to time, instead of the same six overplayed songs on commercial FM radio.

Good God man!  Post the link. 
Totally relate to this song.  Except the place was Berlin, and I wasn't singing, but it was in a bar and the next day was fantastic.  After that...  {#Cry}

Guess I'm going to be the standout thus far and say I like this song a lot.

Speak of the Devil is the last Chris Isaak album I've bought and I have every one previous to it, which means I've been a fan since the late 80s I guess. I think the whole album is great and this song, too. He doesn't ever seem to get taken seriously, probably because he doesn't take himself seriously, either. But despite his tongue-in-cheek persona I've always thought he was a 'seriously' good musician. He just doesn't record any bad songs at all.

I can relate to the subject matter, but, overall, the song is rather lame in comparison to the rest of his material.
