...How did this not win the open-forum video contest? It's one of the best music-to-video matches these eyes have ever seen. It's happy, in the way that Bobby Womacks' intro in 'Jackie Brown' does.
I've lost count of the number of times I've watched this since it was first uploaded and it still brings a big smile to my face every time :))) great job guys
Me encanta esta canción, pero, sobre todo, la actitud libertaria, cuando uno se permite a si mismo ser feliz. La felicidad es buena y nosotros todos la merezcemos.
Anyone know which soul artist is sampled by shadow for this track? I really would like to find some similar sounds to this song, with the same sort of uplifiting guitar and beat, but I don't know much about soul music. Any similar songs/artists? Thanks
@TheGanjaman69 It's actually not DJ Shadow singing. It's an ancient funk sample who's vocalist he could not identify. He tried as hard as he could but he could not track down the original artist.
@DannyJumbo I wish I knew. I don't think even Davis himself knows. Reportedly, the track "employs an inspiring sampled vocal lifted from a 40-year old reel discovered in a disused studio". That's all I was able to find for now. There wasn't even a vocalist name to be found anywhere. Dunno where you'd be able to track down the original. I'd love to find it, as well. :/
@shinsfan1986 You pretty much aren't going to find anything like this being made anymore, at least... The instrumentation was actually all recorded just for this song, I believe, utilizing Davis' official band, the Heliocentrics, as well as some English orchestra.
wow, this girl at 2:29 is propably the cutest human being i've ever seen. Now that i know that there are cute girls who do childish/maybe foolish things i feel kinda better. i hope i'll somebody like her some where some time. I think i'm gonna move to the states... girl at 2:29 u changed my life!!!!
cool, how did u persuade all these folks in the streets to do the hoola hoola?! i guess americans are fare more cool than i thought! in germany (this is where i live) this won't work. PS: this girl with the black top in the school yard looks awesome
we just talked to people. It was amazing to see how many people just wanted to give it a try for the day. What was cool is whenever we asked someone and they would start hooping they would immediately smile, lots of peopel said it changed their day.
I can understand why they picked the winner, as it was more "arty" or hip, or whatever... but this is my favorite, BY FAR. You can show this to ANYBODY and they can connect with it. Truth.
I dug the winning submission, but I agree with you there. Even if you couldn't hula, it didn't mean you couldn't have fun with the hoop. This one actually made me laugh and smile.
Still a huge favourite...big smile on this face!
