It's knowing that other people are listening to it and enjoying it at the same time as you. Makes us all feel together and enjoying the reggae vibes as one nation, one tribe. Until that day!
Toots is a Legend and one of the Godfathers of Ska and Reggae. I watched him a few months back in Kingston performing and the guy has more energy than guys half his age...
kingston do look kinda funky. i wanna be there. this guy is reggae. more than anybody. "YO REGGAE HEAR THE PIANO. STICK IT TO ME. I LOVE BLACK AMERICA." what lyrics. you right. got to be real in kingston. SAXAPHONE HEAVEN. DANCE
There are sooooo many songs to listen to.. however, I keep coming back to this one for some reason. I guess I've become addicted to the funk. It's in ma bones.
The best reggae song ever and the best video ! Love it! I've watched a million times and every time I watch is like the first time! never seen a bunch of gorgeous , good looking men in one video! Breath taking!
I absolutely adore this tune.... my fave Toots one ever ever ever!!! Thanks for uploading it :D And thanks to KounterKulture for sharing it with me!! :)
it mite be a cool old song...but if it wasnt for sampling kids wouldnt even know this song existed its a way of bringing great old tracks that aint heard of anymore
i tend to agree with you jflores...songs like this wouldnt be even know to young kids these days if it wasnt for sampling great old songs like this would be lost to the newer generation... and for the other people out there tdr sampled this first in his track "funky vodka" i think the track was called..pitbull loved it and asked him to remix for him
So many of you say pitbull ruin this song huh? in what ways?? Im a Mobile DJ and his version is making a lot of people dance. If it wasnt for TJR and Pitbull you probably forgot about toots classic..so who cares if people sample classics, sampling been around forever you hard head people who think nothing should ever be touched or changed wake up its 2013..anyways Happy New Years!
guys, relax. regardless of pitbull - it makes people search the original and the facts speak for themselves! toots is the one and only. the others are his shadow.
I hear that pitbull song... and I swore... it sounds a bit different for modern day... so I looked up if it sampled anything... which led me to this... Glad I found this... c:
Well even though reggae is younger then ska, ska took its original form from American jazz mixed with a fast rhythm and blues. So basically it's just the pace they play at and whatever equipment they've picked up. Ska's where's it's at anyways. If your gonna get your panties in a twist then don't bother, I couldn't care less.
I'm actually twenty one, and I hadn't heard this. Nor did I know that it was used in a Shitbull song. I call shenanigans. Someone appears to be running me a mock.

No it's "Funky Vodka" by TJR, but with pitbulls really bad vocals added, which is kind of like a remix of this.
fuuu

JAH RASTAFARI!!!!!!!
listen close the drum line, and you can faintly make out the opening of Sugarhill Gang's "Rappers Delight"
Funky, funky, funky!
No, this is class. Pitbull is a dung-beetle.
yeah
amen
Glad you like the video Maria!!!
Lmao, implying that the original version doesn't already make people dance? I could groove to this classic much more than any rip-off.
Damn you TJR
Well even though reggae is younger then ska, ska took its original form from American jazz mixed with a fast rhythm and blues. So basically it's just the pace they play at and whatever equipment they've picked up. Ska's where's it's at anyways. If your gonna get your panties in a twist then don't bother, I couldn't care less.
haha, heard of Funky Vodka? big house hit from last year, or earlier this year? holy shit this is good, originalshizz

Love it :-)
I have no idea who Pitbull is and what he did. I came here from GTA San Andreas...
It's a sacrament of the Rastafari, it purifies you from sin.
Yeah Yeah Yeah!!!!! Haters gonna rip Pitbull, suckers
For some reason I always associate marijuana with reggae/Jamaica. Do they actually smoke a lot of weed?.
I'm actually twenty one, and I hadn't heard this. Nor did I know that it was used in a Shitbull song. I call shenanigans. Someone appears to be running me a mock.
ahh this is some cool shit
Smoke out at 3:33
Unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful
