Now all crew come get some sunshine
Summer time vibes come back again
Tell all your friends man!

Groovin' on a summer afternoon
Groovin' couldn't get away too soon

Now every woman every man come listen this one
From the heartical dan Mr. Pato Banton
Me comin' in c-comin' in c-comin' in strong
With a positive summer time vibration
Cause in the winter me can't take the cold
Body start shiver when the breeze start blow
Car can't start cause the engine froze
Can't move me fingers, can't feel me toes
But in the summer when the sun shine bright
Kick off me boot put on me air nike
Leave me car and jump pon me bike
It's this kind of weather I like

Well everyday people are in a rat race
But if I could I would just slow down the pace
Like a record on a deck, switch the speed
From 45 down to 33
Whoa! Nice and slow
Sun a shine and breeze a blow
Lord! Nice and easy
Just a chill with me friends and family

I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't no place I'd rather be instead of groovin'!

Now in the struggle of life to achieve success
Everyone goes through some form of stress
The rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief
Lawyer and the doctor, even the priest
Whoa Oh! Some people take a trip to the beach
Whoa Oh! To get a little stress relief
Whoa Oh! Take a picnic down to the park
Whoa Oh! With me children and me sweetheart
Whoa Oh! Oh yes I have to confess
Whoa Oh! The summer time vibes are the best
Whoa Oh! People people if you agree
Whoa Oh! I'm Pato Banton come follow me

yeah. how ya feelin 'bout dat now? can ya still afford gas and groceries? stocked up on potassium iodide pills? learned mandarin yet? 
keep on proving that golden idiom: Ya cain't fix stoopid, even with a new president.

Lonely cult members unite for supporting billionaires, fake chreeshtuns, handmaid’s tale for women, putin, hungary, baby kim, and big oil profiteering. But oooh..milk and gas cost more for racists now.

I know this tune has been around on RP for a while, but it hasn't clicked for me until now. At first I thought "Why?" then "Why not?" Going with a 6.5 for now. (0.5 rounds up!)

Amen to this! Sadly many have several padlocks on it and lost the combination.

I'm so proud we have a president who says he can "sum up America in one word:  Fwadaumbrah."  The VP can't sum up anything, no matter how many words.  :)

One thing RP has taught me is to give every track a chance. A few seconds in I was thinking this was a 1 or a 2. It ended as a tentative 7, marked for future review. 


Always listen with an open mind. 
Pato Banton! Wow!

Who else loves Don't Sniff Coke from Live and Kickin All Over Amercica!

Long ago we bumped to it in our 2002 BMW (with round tail lights, yeah baby!) with a sub so big it filled the trunk.
More please, Bill.

Saw Pato a couple of times in a tiny strip mall bar in Florida. Always a blast and one of the tightest bands ever.
