Who would have ever thought that this group would ever tour with Van Halen? And that it would be a success??!! A true odd couple, for sure. Nontheless, they're coming to an arena near you...go check out both bands.
@KentaJackson Normally, I WOULD say "When the hell else would I be listening to it?" but... It's better than anything I've heard on the radio in like five years. So yeah... I'm listening to it in 2012.
Funny how JT sang, 'At 17, we fell in love'. I WAS 17, when it debuted on American top 40. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx, saw018. Have a blessed '12.
@curvy71 He just released a new single called "Showdown" and still tours. Rumors always pop up that he will reunite with Kool and the Gang, but its never come to be. Sad. It would be great to see all of these guys together again.
@tsharmony7 Yes. The singer feels like he gets you. Even though I'm a guy, sometimes it feels better when a song like this comes every once in a while. Keeps me coming back to work with a smile and a renewed energy.
@Reftgog Yes it does make you feel better when you hear great songs like this. We all need to smile and walk with a renewed energy, and this wonderful music does it!!!
a great great hit by these guys that i love to listen to since the 1970s.9 people are burnt to a crisp,because they complained it was too hot(OUCH!!!).
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. ;-)
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.
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.
@thickobtuse WHO CARES I DONT KNOW WTF THESE BITCH ASS NIGGERS TALKING ABOUT BUT THE BEAT IS SICK A FUCK...AND HHOWS THIS A POP SONG YOU BRITISH MOTHERFUCKER GO LICK JUSTIN BEAVERS BABY NUTS NOW THATS POP
Fabulous set at Glastonbury yesterday (UK TV) Jungle Boogie, Summer Madness, Too Hot, +++++ first time I've seen them in nearly 25 years!!!! Old faces looking good and all the old dance routines too! But where's the lead singer gone?!?
I'm only 18 and I didn't know what this song meant because my grandma would play it when it was rather hot outside...but now I'm old enough to get the meaning and this song is HOT! hahah
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.
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
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.
@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 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...
@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!
@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.
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.
nothing like playing this on a nice warm night, top down on my 89 convertable GT, im 17 years old and I love ALL old school music, todays music is just so rediculous
I love this song..... Although I'm getting older and my hair is grayer...whenever I hear this song or the music of the 80's, I feel young. I think about all the fun I had back then and today.....this song really brings back some good memories....
thank you!! this is one of my favorite song with steppin' out( celebration, ladies night of course etc) it reminds me when i was a kid ,listening to it in the car with my dad ( he's a big fan) it's too good, too good.. this is real music intemporal... funk for life!!! kool and the gang is so awesome!!! thank you
@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).
i am only 20 and love this song driving at night lol
