True that. She's got the kind of open-throat from-the-diaphragm style you rarely hear any longer. 

Glad I somehow missed the saturation that others are complaining about - can enjoy her fresh.

Always nice to stay positive, but can't. Sorry. Sounds like the soundtrack for a car commercial.

I have RP on all day at work in the background and every time this song starts up, it catches my attention. I love it...very catchy and fun.

I actually like the music much more than her voice.

Well, good for her! It's nice to hear a Dutch artist on an international radio station. We hear this particular song all the time in Holland, but it's a good start ;-). It's a shame people have to be so negative, even here where I imagine a lot of people who love a great variety of music 'come together'.

I support the creation of a new sub-genre: "swanky jazz". Who else is in there? Peggy Lee, Capitol era Frank, Melody Gardot, Madeleine Peyroux... who else?

I thought I had miss-tuned into "Crap West End Musical Excerpts for Lovies in the Business Dhharling.com

Simply ghastly. Adds variety though. And time to put kettle on ;-)

Aaaarrggghhh, she's the so-called Dutch superstar. One of the very few that seem to make it outside of the Dutch borders. Good for her, not for me. Horrible fake person who acts as being nice but in fact is very arrogant. And the last few years she headlined every medium large festival her in the Netherlands.

Sigh, i'm so tired of hearing and seeing this woman...

Her other track - That Man, is often before or after Mocean Worker.

same here - it's excellent.
But get it on Amazon.co.uk - much better deal than Amazon.com. You get a live dvd, too. (Sorry Bill.)

Happy new year, everybody!

Caro was at Jools' Annual Hootenanny last night, with this song and also singing "Mad About the Boy".
Here she is on Youtube:

Love the song so much I just downloaded an entire Ibiza journey into the night. Found Caro on a compilation http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003N0Z14Y/ref=dm_ty_alb_img?ie=UTF8&qid=1323030520&sr=301-2
or look it up as Ibiza Beats Vol 3  Makes me feel like I am dancing on the surf.
Thanks RP for the connection to this song and all the rest of your groovy beats you play throughout the day! Cheers!

Parquet? I hate parquet.

I'm a sucker for women singing in this style.  Perhaps it's the fictitious fantasy of a smoky cabaret with ruggedly handsome gentlemen in tuxes escorting beautiful women in evening dresses with glittering earrings, and graceful couples gliding aound on a parquet dance floor.

The Wikipedia entry for this song (yes) says "...Caro Emerald songwriters David Schreurs and Vince Degiorgio were asked to write a track with a "60s feel" for a Martini vermouth advertisement campaign <...and this resulted and was rejected at first but then accepted for use in the ad>".

Now, this is tricky. Do you have to dislike the song now? What about it has changed? Hm.

Voices and styles like THIS make music a powerful force, and remind me that this whole show, from String Theory on up, is all about vibrations...and when it's so dig-able, like this, boy, am I glad of it!
