Ugh, more derivative tripe. Sorry, I just chafe at all the revisitation that goes on in the "creative" enterprises. As a design professional, I can assure one and all that there is no creation in the redo. Movies, TV shows, music, architecture, cuisine...pffff!!! It's become all tripe; that's why cows have 3 stomachs, so they can continue to digest what that already ate.
I'm not a religious man, but Ecclesiastes 1:9, dude.
I bet your design is derivative of something, even if you aren't conscious of it. You don't exist in a vacuum, after all.
Also, this song is fun. Not every song needs to be a startlingly new concept wrapped in a never-before-seen package, and thank goodness for that, because we'd only have maybe a dozen songs were that so!
Been to see her 3 times since I heard her on RP coupla years ago. At those gigs, even as an old fart, I was up and swaying with the best of them!
Exactly! What a fun, toe-tappin' song!
cuz we bumpin in here

This kind of swings. Growin' on me.
You Bet!! RP introduced me to Caro, now I love a LOT of her songs! Thanx RP!
PRO TIP: Don't listen to mainstream radio, and evaluate songs on their own merits instead!
You make me crazy go nuts, if you know what what I mean, and you know who you are.

They have three stomachs so they can produce three times the tripe.
No it's not.
And you're a poo-head.
Oops. Sorry. We're not supposed to attack each other, are we?

It's just good funky fun, somewhat like Cab Calloway and other 40s people like Andrews sisters. Good fun
I Agree! GREAT TUNE!! Thanx RP!
Same for me. While youtubing her stuff I ran into a group "Speakeasy 3" also a fun band.
