Stevie Wonder - Skeletons

[Mozman1985]

The two dislikes were from Theo, hatin' on Argyle.

[napalm5]

Argyle tell me that you heard the shots and you're calling the police

[nya2009scholar]

How could anyone not LOVE this man's music???? Stevie is a political, poetic genius with what he does with Music.

[vlovesrafa]

Love the funky bassline.And the lyrics are heavy.Classic Stevie.Michael said it best,"stevie is a musical prophet".

[UrlsGrrl54]

HERMAN CAIN, LMFAO!!!!

[NYkiNY]

THIS USED TO BE MY JAM WHEN I WAS LITTLE!! :)

[mallraider75]

@NYkiNY Same here, cause I remember it on Video Soul.

[TheAdisah]

Very Nice!

[Zlotrov]

Don't you just love those times when people made music because they love music, not because of money? I do. And I miss those times.

[OfficialAlexandraW]

this song is funky as hell!! love it!!

[MultiUncensored]

Die Hard Argyle :)

[MrSpitback]

When i hear a Song like this from Stevie i think of Mr. Obama who used "signed sealed delivered" as his theme song. I guess to tell the people he's their man. However, i guess the powers that be, wouldn't allow that; Because Unlike Lincoln and Kennedy he was unable to truly resist the power structure and give the people what they wanted.

[TheAdisah]

@MrSpitback The man was bought and paid for before the powers put him into office. Lincoln was the first to be killed in office, and Kennedy so far has been the last. If you don't do what your told, your murdered. Presidents in the country are not elected they are selected. There is no such thing as "one man/woman one vote anymore". The whole thing is a GRAND STAND SHOW, to keep the masses thinking they are really doing something.

[MrSpitback]

@TheAdisah I agree with you 90% and your right on point. However, in Barack's case i do believe he was selected but the people also selected and voted for him as well. I saw so with my own eyes!!! That does not mean that he wasn't selected, but i do believe he was in the dark about his abilities as The Chief and Commander. They only inform on a need to know basis.what promises to the people he would be able to keep was unknown by him until after he was in office. That's what i believe.

[laroger0]

The procedure for obtaining U.S. Secret Service protection for U.S. Presidential candidates is controlled almost entirely of elected officials from the Democratic and Republican parties. I guess that helps control who is added to the U.S. Government's kill (ssassination) list.

[cprostudio]

bass sound from elka synthex and oscar midi'd together

[gailmckennag]

he got funky to paul mccartney ' what's that you're doinog'.

[gailmckennag]

get down to the bassline slapper.so many choruses.

[MrHandsallover]

Probably his second funkiest track after Maybe Your Baby from Talking Book but this joint do have some funk on it for real

[cdyami316]

@MrHandsallover Check out the second part of Ordinary Pain from Songs in the Key of Life, it's got some true funk

[MrHandsallover]

@cdyami316 Oh yeah I know I listen to it on the regular on my Ipod

[Kharn526]

2 people were in Al's car when it was shot.

[levanyzzuf]

"OF COURSE I'm still comin' over later! Sweetheart, have I ever lied to you?"

[DaveWollenberg]

Stevie hia #19 in Billboard, 12-5-87. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great weekend!

[Kharn526]

Oh fuck yea, Die Hard FTW! this song is great.

[MsCargento]

stevie is amazing....untouchable!!!! let's hear it for the old school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrThencg]

stevie put the STANKY FUNK on this one, what a true musical legend that will never die

[JWROWE3]

First heard this in a dance club in Tampa in late 80's when it was new. Had to sit down to listen to it...what a great song. You will never hear good stuff like this on radio again...

[KarmalBeauty]

Stevie is one of the VERY FEW artists that can literally make the piano "TALK"! LOL I hear that in just about all of his songs.

[divadlite1]

jamm on brother wonder



[shmuli9]

I remember this playing in the background of an episode of 'A Different World'...

[Capedawg318]

my uncle brought me the "characters" album and i've been hooked ever since,lol

[Virgo912Lady]

I saw this video on VH1 Soul's Story a few days ago and can't get this song out of my head. I'd forgotten how great this CD was. Thanks for posting, johnniewalker23.

[CAU98]

This song is very funky. One of my all time favorites by brother Stevie.

[radiodj1520]

I Love This Stevie Wonder 1987 Hit, "Skeletons," Which Became The #1 R&B Hit In America, And It Did Played, During The Soul Train Scramble Board Segment, During The 551st Edition Of "Soul Train" On November 14, 1987.

[craigfromnewcastle]

*cough* Moogs were better *cough*

[thekhabane]

yeh i am found of it

[MotownMaster]

this song is the jam!

[bigrod8975]

Another masterpiece by the ultimate musical genius.

[guillecw]

argyle rules

[CheckMate657879]

Man!!!! Everybody was offa this song - couldn't go anywhere without hearing it - even the little kids would be singing it.

[HOOSIERS35]

The (2) dislikes had no business being on this page to begin with.

[redbirdsexpress]

AHHH FUCK YEAH!!!!

[DaOnlyMayor]

ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!! ♡♡♡♡

[Jbuonocore]

Used this song in the First Diehard, the scene when the police car is getting shot up, and the limousine driver is in the lower parking garage, listening to this song very loud, and talking on the limo's cell phone. Great Song, always liked Stevie Wonder.

[willielacy7755]

This is somethin' 4 the haters out there up 2 no good, Stevie, U done it again my brotha, let'em know what time it is. lol GOD IS LOVE:)

[klavss76]

Stevie, you are THE MAN! ... A++

[donaldhole2007]

The bass line to this is so damn addicting.

Die Hard FTW.

[980graziella]

Wonderful L.P. ...Thank You .

[manafao]

Ah, Argyle in the limo, kickin' it with the bear :D I'd been looking for this song for a long time, has a great bass to go along with my subs :P

[micoulai]

Dunk the Funk

[MrLapd235]

This takes me back to Christmas 1987 in Century City,Los Angeles Calfornia i listen to this during that snowstorm we had in Feburary of this year.

[MrLapd235]

Radio:Turn up the heat its getting to pop

Al Powell:now means now! i'm under heavy fire at Nakatomi! i need backup assiciste now!

[MrLapd235]

This song was featured in Die Hard 1

[CAU98]

Very Funky! GO STEVIE!

[KarmalBeauty]

GENIUS! :o)

[marko5280]

-"Yeah, Argyle"

-"Heh man"

-"Where are you?"

-I'm kickin' it down in the garage, what's the word with you and your lady?"

-"Eh, the votes not in yet."

[jensusedom]

geiler Song nach wie vor....

insel-intim.de

jensusedom

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #1 soul, only #19 pop in Billboard. Should've charted much higher on the pop chart, right, gang? God bless!

[AR15SHOTS2U]

@DaveWollenberg who cares about charts? You can blast this anytime and be the funkiest one on the scene....god blessu

[marcusrob02]

@DaveWollenberg I agree. I always consider any song that cracks the Top 20 to still be considered a Pop hit. And I'm not sure how much airplay this got on MTV, although I do think that Stevie may have been one of the R&B/Soul artists on their "playlist selection" anyway.

[MoviesTubeYou0675]

Just FYI I was 12 years old that year! Haha!!!

[MoviesTubeYou0675]

This always takes me back to Halloween 1987 because it says "skeletons", so of course I see skeleton cut out hanging on the windows, doors, etc. I know that sounds weird, but that year Halloween landed on a Saturday, and this radio station where I lived at that time played it a lot that particular day, and I had a lot of fun that Halloween, and that's my favorite time of the year! If I could revisit a whole year again it would be 1987. It was a lot of fun and a lot of great music that year!

[journey2mk]

...Yet you cry, why am I the victim?

When the culprit's y-o-u

soulful voice great lyrics

[billydtsp]

this song reminds me of carla!

[CidSilverWing]

I love how this song berates hypocrites

[KarmalBeauty]

OMG...WHAT A FUGGIN MASTERPIECE!

[DaveWollenberg]

For some reason, pop radio started to get tired of Stevie. This 1 only made #19 in Billboard. Hit #1 soul, as you might expect.

[HOOSIERS35]

This is how it's done people. Musician first, entertainer second. Not the other way around like some artists today. Perfect your craft and people will buy. Stevie is a master.

[justsid]

lmfao

[SeasOfRhye]

You're alright Argyle...  and so is your taste in beats!

[cianamja]

of course im still coming by later.... sweetheart have I ever lied to you.... my boss? he think I'm on my way to vegas...... limo driver that knocked theo out with one punch. classic movie.

[marko5280]

...And crashed into the ambulance van that that mysteriously came out of nowhere towards the end of the movie, lol!!!

[LaurenFromMI]

I love Stevie Wonder

[pukey]

my boss? he thinks i'm on my way to vegas!!

[Dresknowsbest]

"If this is your idea of X-mas, I gots to be here for New Year's"

[Dresknowsbest]

This was the last line in Die Hard. Limo all smashed up, picking up Mclane.

[bossmanFrankT]

This song is tight, I remember this in 1987. One of the best songs by him.

[jeromefreymond]

The drums are damn cool. Makes me wanna clap my hands! I LOVE STEVIE

[theoriginaloneme]

I do clap my hands lmao.

[cianamja]

hell yeah diehard..... "my boss ? he think im on my way to vegas"

[doctorfields]

Die Hard

[Shaolin913]

@doctorfields Hell Yeah!!!! Argyle In the limo.

[mikworthy]

@doctorfields Yup. Argyle jamming in the limo 1:52-1:54 while Al's police car is shot up.

[malcacio]

@doctorfields reving up the engine of my limo right now.

[MAGICIANWISE007]

the boss P P O T H

[SDJrekoff]

But George Carlin DIDN'T ! ! ! ! !

[DiscoHank]

I really like the song writing on Characters. This song could have had the impact of a "Superstition", I really like the Anti Reagan aspect to this record, but I think the records 80s drum machines date it SEVERLY...he was chasing the trend of the Run DMC's and the big beat pop records.

[terry1919]

@DiscoHank there was a video of this that I saw only once or twice and it featured Ollie North [a disgrace to the USMC] testifying to congress investigating Iran-Contra

[glandouilleman]

I agree with DiscoHank, drum-machines date it, but this album kick ass!!! it's a question of taste...

[sesamestreet2]

You're a f*cking liar..this album was genius it was meant to be spritual, with love, family, and spirituality all rolled into one...and Stevie defo pulls it off like no other!!

[terry1919]

@sesamestreet2 Actually this song was written during the IRAN Contra investigation and the $#!T was getting ready to hit the fan....

[mobydee71]

i remember the video 2 this with Karen Black...can't find it anywhere!

[terry1919]

the funny thing about this song is that it was released about the same time Iran Contra was hitting the NEWS

[colbeesche]

peccato che non si trovi la versione con il video originale

[mauricegiants]

pure merveille

[Rock2HAL]

Love this CD and song too! I wish the music video was still on YouTube but guess they took it down! Stevie's the best! :)

[AS1NATION]

[Dresknowsbest]

"My boss thinks I'm in Vegas." lol

[Dresknowsbest]

[wdwron08]
