one of the greatest albums to come out of the 80’s (night and day), and the best song from it. the ONLY artist who can hold a candle to a steely dan or a dave brubeck, period.
I like that Joe Jackson can indeed hold a candle to Joe Jackson... He made a classical album that was pretty phenomenal (Kinda Britten inspired) ~ "Will Power"
Just 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with cancer. So had to play this. It's obvious Joe Jackson likes Latino music. Having lived in Venezuela for 9 yrs. I was instantly drawn to his music. Would love to see him live.
This song is actually sarcastic. It is a song about how everything that gives you pleasure is bad for you. He says this on one of the live posts of this song. He actually sells monogrammed Zippo lighters at his concerts.
Hi Brian. Loved your comment and I was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2004 and doing fine so far. I also grew up in Venezuela even though I was born in Italy. Hope you are doing well.
Not exactly an imitation! Joe Jackson was living in New York and collaborated with integrants of the salsa at this time (Héctor Lavoe and possibly Rúben Blades). He knew some of this world from inside, The best credit was the cover that did Lavoe of this song.
Aside from Latino musicians, Joe Jackson was probably the only Brit to successfully co-op the groove onto his Night and Day album. It was and is a distinctive album, totally unlike those from his peers of the late seventies and early eighties. A classic!
As a house head, I love the duo of Josh Milan and Kevin Hedge, better known as Blaze. Listening to this, I truly think this song, among many, had an influence on that group!
So I waited a year. This is from a live concert. They dont have three minute songs "live". I think you need to find the cassette disk and play that endlessly since that is how you are programmed. 3:33 is not concert length. uggh. By the way. Nice of who ever shared this.
Such a gifted songwriter. This was one of the most unique albums of its era.
MUSIC IS A GREAT HEALER,AFTER 3 AMPUTATIONS AND 35 SURGERIES, JOE GOT ME THOUGH SOME TOUGH DAYS

I'm listening to this album tonight (2020) as I type this. Might put on Aja or Katie Lied next....

His early work is phenomenal but then again same goes for Elvis C..

Joe Jackson developed my taste for a variety of jazz styles at a pre teen age. Joe is a rare talent and I enjoy him to this day!
Joe Jackson is unsurpassed! He wrote unique, wonderful compositions and I treasure all his albums in my collection 💕
LOVE this song-- and when I was going thru Radiation therapy I also played it quite often.
Amen
I saw him on this tour in the US - was one of the best live shows ever
Simplemete fenomenal me alegro que un anglosajon valore lo rica que es la musica latina❤
That conga player is nice nice song!
Sabor latino with Joe Jackson. One of my favorite songs of his.
One of the best imitations of salsa music outside south-American nations
Jackson knows how Latin music really should be. Sophisticated and luxurious~♬

Imitation? What the hell is that even supposed to mean?

Duh!?!?!? Dumb.

Extraordinario !!!!

Tremendous
Always thought this song was so odd and yet nothing health wise has changed in the decades since i heard it. Wonder what inspired it
EVERYTHING 😉👍👌🤘👏🍰🍾💖🃏😎♠🎃🃏
Name an artist that studied classical music and became popular with punk, swing, pop, jazz and movie soundtracks
Very nice. Hector Lavoe made a great cover of this song in Spanish.
Julio Sanchez Joe did a version in Spanish too.

ESTE TEMA TIENE UN EXTRACTO DE CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM DE EDDIE PALMIERI,,,
I like the girl palm muting her dinner glass while tapping it with her spoon
And they wanna compare him to Elvis Costello. Didn't get it. Don't get it. Will never get it.
Yeah, he’s a million times better and more versatile
I love this song but did he get permission from Eddie Palmieri to use Chocolate
Héctor lavoe
Is that Jose Chepito Areas of Santana on congas?
That's Sue Hadropolis toured with Joe Jackson and Cindy Lauper
No her name is Sue Hadjopoulos. Absolutely brilliant
Like 18 people in the rhythm section.
Bossa nova
Who's the other singer?
That's Graham Maby.
@@wozniack
A devil on bass, you should add. :)
@@krollpeter yes, very talented bassist. ..

Joe Jackson was great, but his songs are a bit too long.
How's the width?

Sometimes 3 minutes is not enough...
It's called improve, dumb ass!!
