  • I love this song...and yes, I was in high school then...always a great song, even tho now it might mean "too hot" as in "hot menopausal mama"

  • mitici grandi intramontabili........vi ADORO!!!!

  • I remember this song so well from back in the summer of 1980. I just turned 10 years old and was living in the central valley of California. Of course the summers out there were too hot and I would sing this song in my head thinking it was about the weather. "Oh, it's too hot. Too hot lady. Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade." Well, I was just a kid. What did I know? :-) It's such a pleasure to have wonderful music like this as being a big part of my childhood memories. ;-)

  • great song!

  • 5 people are too cold.

  • amazing song from the old school

  • Great bass Great music.

  • A song I forgot about was listening to the radio yesterday and this was played wow I thought, just a great tune Smooth FM is the station you must check it out if you enjoy classics like this.

  • What a classic, Kool and the Gang rock it big time, the rhythm is mesmerizing, These guys are great!

  • Takes me back to my childhood in the 80's.. the best band around for this kind of music!!!!!!!!!!

  • One of the cleanest bass lines ever, not to mention the band as a whole - I've never heard any other band so tight. JT's vocals are timeless. I hope he hasn't retired for good. JT, we're still waiting for you, you are the best.

  • i had no idea this was kool and the gang!

  • I think 5 people clicked dislike on accident!!

  • a truly under appreciated band in their song writing and their influence. i grew up with these guys on the radio and i still luv the music and appreciate what they've given us with their music, truely timeless classics.

  • I truly miss old school!

  • How could you not love this smoothly delivered ballad - its so understated , about divorcing youre high school love after trying to work it out, such a breakup song. well written

  • This song is too hot! Love it! Thank you for uploading it! I'll be hitting the repeat button often!

  • Always loved the bassline in this song . . .

  • @4212329 same here i got into this old music from dad and i expaned out to this music

  • When visiting England in 1999, we passed by a british dude playing this song in his car. He was singing along( in his whiney british accent) "too hought, too hought, too hought ta live..got-uh run fa shelta...got-uh ruuun fa shade". I can't take British people serious when they sound like this.

    Great song.

  • @clydecromey LMAO!!!

  • @clydecromey Hilarious!

  • @clydecromey LMAO! That is hilarious! XD!! I wish I would have seen that!

  • @clydecromey LLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOL

    LMAO YOU ARE CRAZY !!!!! LOLOL SO DAMN FUNNY

  • @clydecromey LOL as americans we gotta correct their asses,their fukin up our shit.

  • @clydecromey you must of been in some sort of rough area or up north somewhere lol

  • @clydecromey Oh my goodness, this made me laugh so hard!!!

  • @clydecromey Lol that is awesome!

  • @clydecromey I know that feeling, when I was in Germany "like a Virgin" Madonna was a big hit ~everyone sang "like a wergin" it drove me nuts because it played continually

  • @clydecromey thats hilarious

    

  • @clydecromey What a cnut.

  • @clydecromey To be honest, I don't think he cared whether you took him seriously or not, which is how it should be. Expressing yourself and singing in your own company without the need to look or sound cool is how it should be. And yes I am black british...

  • Comment removed

  • @clydecromey You probably sound funny to British people, since your accent must be different from theirs...What does an accent or patois got to do with not taking someone or some group serious? Sounds rather superficial to me...At least that person you described had good taste in music!

  • @dewmikester1 When you develop a sense of humor....then and ONLY then respond. Thanks.

  • @clydecromey well see thats where your ignorantly wrong. the person ion that car was obviously scottish, not english

  • @darthcrowe XDDD that's funny as fck

  • @Th3MrB3nz3dr1n3 hahahha wel if someones gonna me that racial, they need to know who there actually taking the piss out of

  • @clydecromey Hey this one time i went America and everyone had fucking annoying whiney voices that go up whenever they finish a sentence like there asking a question. HAHAHAHA what supid cunts right! yeah taking the piss out of other cultures and places sure is funny, especialy considering it was one guy from one place, thats deffinetly justification to insult 60 million people.

  • @MrmUdKiPzzz Were you in San Francisco?

  • @MrmUdKiPzzz Or maybe it was Minnesota. They have some crazy accents. Or were you lying about going to America?

  • @clydecromey Ha ha ha ha ha hahh....

  • @clydecromey looooool why not. im british, and i talk like that.. i think i know what you mean. but i lovee my accent :D

  • @clydecromey yeah i agree , but i have heard the amercan english was taken for englands english

  • @chrisrox62 nice one

  • @clydecromey PRICK

  • @clydecromey

    I lol'd HARD at the viscous flame war you provoked with this comment. I'm 100% English, and I hate it when people with our accent try to sing, just sounds shitty to me personally - just as I'm sure there are places in America or any other country which have accents that are annoying. At least there's one universal thing we all have in common - 90% of people on the internet can't take a fucking joke.

  • @clydecromey from** not for

  • @clydecromey Funny story!!!

  • @clydecromey HA HAAAAAA! You are funny! Do we really sound like that? "too hought"?! Too bloody funny! It is a great song.

  • 222000 views thx u all and for comments!!!

  • I'm sick of seeing that stupid annoying crackhead Flow appear before every freakin' video, Damn her and her stupid mouth.

  • JTs vocals are so good. It was good to hear a man sing like a man, not falsetto.

  • @illustrate100 I agree wholeheartedly. He is blessed with the exact mix of a beautiful tenor with baritone capabilities; I love his voice (and am glad to always hear a man that doesn't have to go falsetto as well).

  • they create a seperate genre for music called Talent

  • You are listening to real music.
