What do you think of when you hear this?

I think of some annoying commercial featuring elderly people trying to feel young again via the use of a new laxative or through the new-found freedom of an adult diaper.

I realize at one point it was a quirky, fun, hip tune. And good for the Isley Brothers for writing such a jingly song. And I am a musician, too. I'd want someone to play my music, but this is NOT a new song. It is PLAYED OUT.

What's next on the playlist? MMM-Bop?

Brought an instant smile to my face. Classic Motown. What an era. Thanks for the memory, Bill.

Man, a honkin' brass section, a bass line that jumps off the speakers, and a drummer who knows how to work it.

I'm just sorry I'm at work. This requires dancing.

1969. My second year at university....and what would turn out to be one of the most magical music years of that era.. and pretty much any era...
From the Archies (Sugar,Sugar) to Zaeger and Evans(In the year 2525).
Spinning wheel, Come Together, The Israelites, Suspicious Minds, Galveston, Honky Tonk Women ... whoa ... something for everyone, lions and lambs...some set of musical planets lined up that year...amazing.

things have been better that way since we stopped having regular t.v. —the damn Swiffer commercials, they're really funny— and I just realized, saw the "Who's That Lady" one on Hulu!!

Sounds like somebody's sensitive about, ummm, incontinence issues ...

If RP or any other radio station were to "drop" every song that was used in every commercial we'd lose a lot of great music. That's just silly. Personally, I'd rather hear this allegedly "played out" classic than the new garbage from Pusifer that aired just before.

Should they delete Bach's Toccata as well?  It's not new either (and it gets a lot of play in other media).

Ah ha. . . so. . . what you are actually saying is that it is PLAYED OUT for YOU. That YOU have seen it on some commercial. That YOU want it dropped. 

Sigh. . .

Its great reading everyone's comments, especially the crazy banana dancing!  I think that rocks just as much as this song.

I like, but it's too overplayed. Not as a song - as a commercial jingle. Kind of killed it for me.

Check out Todd Snider...great sense of humor in his lyrics combined with equally talented music. Although drastically different than The Isley Bros., you won't be disappointed.

I love this song, but I will forever and ever associate it with a wintery Detroit in "Out of Sight". It's one of the best movies of the last 10 years, IMHO.
