[MartinHDJ]

When I was little, clouds didn't come out the back of airplanes.

[mikebtko]

The Orb and Rickie Lee Jones, it's genius...

[thomasfk09]

I think there's a sample from the movie "Once Upon A Time In The West" at the beginning there with the harmonica.

[rdboy10]

Tune is so catchy and funny as a bunny

"The sunsets were purple and red and yellow and were on fire and the clouds would catch the colors everywhere

[krusty1053]

@rpresser,

Interesting. I just checked your Wikipedia reference. According to Alex Paterson, in the August 2011 issue of Sound On Sound (Classic Tracks feature), it was Levar Burton, but he seems to have come across the interview from Ricki's promo disc second hand, so he may himself be unaware of the true origin of the interview for that disc. Thanks for the correction. It's still one of my favorite tracks from that era.

[kojakbangbang7]

OCCUPY THE EARLY 90'S

[MrWc867]

I like the part where she mentions "Little Fluffy Clouds"

[Dman222000]

"what were the skies like when you were young?"

"there were no chemtrails back then..."

[sarahmiful]

I love this song and i'm happy to see what a nice job you've done to illustrate the lyrics!!! Nice! and to the pessimist, too bad so sad! The lyrics are lovely and that's sad you haven't appreciated God's gift of drink!

[MrJackswan]

I feel like founding a legion, a society, if you will, dedicated to fooling people we know into thinking we're very much into techno music, just for fun. The main activity is to play the music in front of other people, and then to very straight-facedly act like you're seriously, uninhibitedly enjoying it. You don't even have to dislike the music, you just have to not like it as much as you're going to pretend to.

It would be so aweome and so funny. We would grow faster than Fight Club.

[Garrotte123]

@MrJackswan Err, when's the first meet? Can I bring my guitar?

[muttoncuffs]

classssic foookin tune. blow ya socks of if ya had em on

[junysaerus]

this is weird, but i am somehow drawn to it,like it,thakyou for posting.junysaerus

[Parkinish]

It's a groundbreaking classic! House music had been around for a while at it's release but it helped to get the genre a lot more acclaim.

[mcclurn11]

I was afraid this was going to be a youtube decoy for some wack job chem trail theorist.

[MsJAZ9]

I will ever tire of this tune,...... though sadly I don't see the next generation having any green fields to just lay down n talk about the wondrous skies...... Maybe a re-release could alter their paths perchance?

[MarkJFeild]

jedstephens1968 I laughed so hard I thought my heart was going to stop beating...very very funny!..Your comment made my day.

[spamspamsham]

for idiots

[MrBesvikenson]

whos voice is it?

[krusty1053]

@MrBesvikenson It's Rickie Lee Jones, and the man's voice asking her the question was Levar Burton. It's taken from a very old interview Levar did with her, and she says she had a bad cold at the time and sounded like it.

[HamNCheezeNLuv]

@krusty1053 Or Tori Amos being asked a question by a British reporter...either one.

[rpresser]

@krusty1053 Wikipedia reports that the interviewer is NOT Levar Burton.

[MontayThe]

there is just something about her voice that is so entrancing..

[EyeAmBecoming]

They used to be "fluffy clouds"...now they are chemtrails.

[filtereyeblind]

[filtereyeblind]

@filtereyeblind nope couldnt find it

[Hugo411]

[ExiledCarebear]

@filtereyeblind this "What were the skies like when you were middle aged ? They went on forever We lived in Oldham, And the skies always had massive shitty clouds And they were long and dark And there was lots of rain, at night And when it rained it would all cry, They were awful The most dreadful skies as a matter of fact The sunsets were grey and black And brown and someones car on fire And the clouds would be all grey You dont see that You might still see them in chorlton JedStephens1968"

[NuclearMooseOfDoom]

@cornishpastie9 It's the crazy techno XD And that is a fair point. Time to dust off the old PS2...

I got it eventually and even in 2011 still sounds fresh!

[sammbolina]

OMG, remember this ??

[shannairl]

I got a tape once called Full-on Dance 93. This song was on it and it scared the living shit out of me.

[Azureecosse]

Its the Girls voice that makes this song so cool along with the Backingtrack . Was astounding song back in the day and still is to this day.

[timberlars]

Fucking wicked shit man...

[mupton19]

Sounds like the alcoholic mom from Hey Arnold ahah

[EMILAN89]

[MrChasanDayve]

@EMILAN89 You could class this as ambient house. If you like this try The Orb - Star 6 and 7, 8, 9

[Omegaxisalphabeta]

Wow, the chemtrail nutters are out in force here.

[FragItAll]

[watever2k8]

pmsl jedstephens1968 thats awsome you should realese a track XD

[JedStephens1968]

What were the skies like when you were middle aged ? They went on forever We lived in Oldham, And the skies always had massive shitty clouds And they were long and dark And there were lots of rain, at night And when it rained it would all cry, They were awful The most dreadful skies as a matter of fact The sunsets were grey and black And brown and someones car on fire And the clouds would be all grey You don't see that You might still see them in chorlton

[thiggit]

@JedStephens1968 hahaha Very creative! Cracked me up.

[JedStephens1968]

@thiggit Got to be honest,i didn't come up with it, but thought the world should see it as it cracked me up too.

[Millerman77]

@JedStephens1968

Haha.... Manchester weather... nuff said. It's the same here in Stockport, lol.

Loved this track when it originally came out. Glad I've found it on here. Brings back good memories!

[user6773]

@JedStephens1968 Everyone here in Sydney feels for you, man.

[JedStephens1968]

@user6773 you get it the other way sometines though, fires are a lot worse than rain!

[user6773]

@JedStephens1968 Yeah, but that's only for the poor folk who live in the bushy rural areas. Nothing happens in the inner suburbs/city (touch wood). It actually has been pretty gloomy this winter though, coming to think of it. And winter is always too warm for my liking!

[slonique]

@JedStephens1968 You are awesome)

[klacker47]

@JedStephens1968 haha have you heard the alan parker vocal version? pretty funny
