Is it me, or is this song in the RP version of heavy rotation (once a day)?



Didn't think so then, (2008) still don't.

The line from the Simon & Garfunkel song is, "I kissed your honey hair," which I think they sampled all of (though the end is faded softer). Later I think they play a sample of the line, "Clothed in crinoline."

Actually, most music makes me want to dance with my wife. . . but this in particular will get me sidling up to her and getting a shimmy on.

Ha, the last time you guys played this for us on RP (about a week or so ago) you had played Simon and Garfunkel's "For Emily" just prior to it....  Then this tune started up and it kept skipping back to "For Emily" and I seriously thought RP was having a very weird technological glitch.  That was awesome.  Really had me there.



Same sequence two years later (For Emily ... to Havana Blues) minus the glitch

For Emily, from Simon and Garfunkel makes me wish for a repeat button. This makes me thankful for the skip option.

I have had RP glitch on me before, but less than RP making me glitch myself :)

I just heard these two songs together for the first time.  First for Havana Blues too.  Liked them together.   Liked them apart.   RP keeps me comin back.

Why should that be required?  That might take the fun out of it.  Anyhow, all of the members of this band play musical instruments.

Neat segue from "For Emily Wherever I May Find Her." This night one year ago my best friend died. Emily, wherever he may find her, was one of his touchstones.

Oh wow, I never noticed the S&G song this song is sampling until BillG put it just before this one.

 

 

In my own defense, I only ever heard that song as a tiny child.

"Caught in crinoline" - wtf?!? Time to get the old ear wax remover out again, I think. Cool trippy sound, though - 8 from the chilled Nottingham jury, despite the hot album sleeve.

Fun piece. If it was in Ocean's 11. Otherwise, it's repetitive. Nice Caribbean-and-margarita dance track, though.
