Tom Tom Club - Genius of Love

[Notoriousdsb]

One of my favorite songs when growing up. This is awesome, thanks!

[34rodzilla]

This song was in my head for like five years. Had no Idea what it was called or any of the main words. Thought it was nu shooz. Today it is OVER all due to luck and a unique album cover I remember from childhood. Thank God I know

[birddawgification]

I first heard this listening to Jim Bohannon before law school during undergrad poli sci. I picked him from a list of shows you would have to report on while going to Gonzaga University. Since then, Ive turned into a complete dick. Stopped skating, stopped smoking bud, stopped everything. But this song always brings me back to my mini ramp. My hot pregnant young wife. And the only reason it can is because back when I actually lived, at minute 3:10 it sounds like "Bohannon" and he used it.

[Hustleman1526]

Just right for any occasion......long live the FUNK!!!!!

[ConcordGrapeCement]

Chop That Hoe Mayne! Break That Beezy.

[DebNC61]

Take me to da roller rink RAT now!!!  What memories of great fun Friday and Saturday nights in the late 70s and early 80s. What a wonderful time of delightfully FUN music! CedricCharles722

[SexyBeenHere]

song rocks what really made me tune in to it was a recent shoe commercial that played the song in it

[fishman017]

Is it me, or does this song still kick some ass? Over thirty years old and better than half the crap-pop released today.

[charlene36]

[Chedd8]

[mrlove1961]

[11dimention11]

@Ilovevedios44 It sounds like a Dutch accent to me.

gangsta to the phullest ......

[TheRocketVoltage]

I was a 90s child and this song was very loved by me and my friends in my childhood. <3

[GuitarGoddessAlex]

hearing these types of songs makes me feel nostalgic, even if I was born in the 90's lol

[yoohootube]

I'd like to see a video posted of Jon Hamm dancing to this in various costumes (the way SNL aired the Scott Brown skit the first time but without all the other people, and full-size Jon instead of tiny daydream Jon).

[WESTSIDEGENIUS]

[211bill]

Tulsa, Oklahoma . I was seven years old in the 2nd grade at Sam Houston Elementary school. Fall of 1981. When this song was burnin' up the airwaves.

[Memington]

SWAG

[superbuds0714]

good song..

1 question though..

What or who the fuck is a bohannon?!

[SignoraArcobaleno]

@superbuds0714 Hamilton Bohannon (born Hamilton Frederick Bohannon, March 7, 1942, Newnan, Georgia) is an American percussionist, band leader and record producer, who was one of the leading figures in 1970s disco music.[1] After 1980 he was usually credited simply as Bohannon. (I FOUND THIS VIA WIKIPEDIA)

[TheAmbassador11]

@superbuds0714 Hamilton Bohannon, Jamaican singer/R-B, Raggae

[Blakehasnewface]

JAMES BROOOOOOWN?! JAMES BROOOOOWN.

[Getrealpeeps]

@Blakehasnewface LOL YEAH!!!!

[PureChillCru]

@Blakehasnewface I just heard this on this radio and i thought the said that too and when i got on i saw this comment and i was like :fuckyeah:

[Blakehasnewface]

@PureChillCru I feel every song should have his name in it somewhere.

[57ca57]

Talking Heads....lol

[Jdpraise]

@57ca57

Talking Heads.. so fun.. 

[TheOldschoolfox]

this is when music was at its best. Who can remember what band the members of the tom tom club are from? Hit the lead singer of the group had a BIG thing for huge suits

[equilshift]

@TheOldschoolfox Pretty easy question. They were members of the Talking Heads

[equilshift]

@TheOldschoolfox  Pretty easy question. They were members of the Talking Heads

[pluggedin2u]

@TheOldschoolfox that 's easy. the tom Tom club was a spinoff fron the Talking Heads. Chris Frantz the drummer and Tina Weymouth the bass player did a project and were astute enough to recruit the likes of Sly and Robbie (reggae geniuses) to pull of one of the most innovative, absolutely brilliant, not to be duplicated musical projects in the history of modern music.

[donnis618]

@pluggedin2u Sho nuff a musical lesson right there!!!

[Eraklondike]

3 People's feet don't just go

[eltoro145383]

Whattcha u gonna do when u get out of jail!!!!! Have some fun!!! Sounds like a Genius plan.

[lilacs91]

Does anyone know the language spoken at 3:00? It sounds like a mix of Korean and Swedish. o_O

[CiG801]

@lilacs91 I think it might just be gibberish. The line before mentions them going insane when they took cocaine, so that's what I'm guessing it is.

[pataku1]

merci tom tom club pour ce morceau mythique....

[esperantomusica]

better than blondie

[tercsi1]

This song came out when I was 12...I remember making out with a guy in the hallway......I was in total heaven.
