NEXT LIFE... I KNOWS I WILL COME BACK AS A COCONUT IN 1982.HELLS YA!

Brilliant lyrics

Great song very Cab Calloway.

Seeing the clip of the police at the start and listening to the lyrics, the brass backing music has the same feel to my ears as some of those 70's detective programmes, especially Barnaby Jones, Mannix, Cannon, etc. It sounds even better now that I hear it again, almost 40 years after I heard it the first time. I'm almost expecting a voiceover to say; "A Quinn Martin production".

Great song ! In style I think that's a Zoot suit late 1930s/ early 40s? The girls' outfits reflect Busby Barkeley musicals of the 1930. Kid Creole (August Darnell) was a stylish act.

I'd rock that suit today in my 85 Sentra with this song and other 80s songs as well as me smoking a joint Mary jannne

I wonder what kept this off the No1 spot? This reached #2 in the UK charts. I remember watching this at the time.

According to the Official Charts website this hit #7 in mid-August of 1982. The top 6 songs the week it peaked were "Come On Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners, "Fame" by Irene Cara, "Don't Go" by Yazoo, "Driving In My Car" by Madness, "It Started WIth A Kiss" by Hot Chocolate and "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor

Not what my neighbors think when I play my real music outside they get mad and close the window door and they make sure I hear the door close while I put the volume a little more up. Young people these days

Endicott was a fun song too

Absolutely fabulous ! thank you

Good sound, you can hear Carol Colman's great bass work clearly.

Great

Absolutely love this song, but there are some live versions out there that capture it better. It needs a slightly faster tempo.

Have you seen their musical film on KZread.

This amazing act would be banned in these stupid days of 'women power' garbage' Whats wrong if women want to show how beautiful they are and how talented they are at dancing. Its their choice. And I for one love watching this type of act.

@@colinyoung3685 I’ll have to check him out. Checking out his Wikipedia he’s the one who came up with the great line “the revolution will not be televised”. Seems like he was way ahead of any early rappers, probably more of an influence a little later. A lot of the early rappers were more hype men to get the crowd into the party and music from the dj. From what I understand Jamaican toasting was a big influence on that. Then it evolved with real poetry.
