I remember when,
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
But there was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space
And when you're out there, without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly
And I hope that you are having
The time of your life
But think twice
That's my only advice
Come on now, who do you,
Who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control?
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
My heroes had the heart
To lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember
Is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little
Ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come...
And I can die when I'm done
But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably...

You could be a show off by walking down the street, the way this bass sounds,

You can adjust the treble on the bass EQ and hit the strings with a hard pick (instead of just fingers) to get that percussive tone when the strings are hit. A technique I use on my own mixes (hobbyist songwriter/production).
Its that bass.
The strings must be strung differently or some different material or diameter , or guitar pickup.

I've never really been into Soul, but this song is absolutely excellent, and makes me want to listen to more songs in the genre.

If I like it a little bit on my first go around it gets a 5... Just so it comes back in my rotation and I hear it again. Today's 5 may be a 7 in a few weeks.

There is nothing about this song I do not love.
I have been known to sing it for my (adult) bio daughter. She is not amused.

Thank you for stating this kindly. I am a nurse and got vaccinated (which I would have preferred to delay until more science/history ruled in) to protect those that don't wear masks, etc. Let's all stop yelling and being outraged. It is so exhausting after the last 4 years. God bless your wife and keep her safe.

It must be an age demographic thing. But how this song rates a 7.5 when so many truly brilliant and groundbreaking songs get low 7's or even 6's is a mystery to me. But good to hear -ocassionally- nonetheless.

December 2006 I landed in London, beginning what would be 4 months of backpacking around Europe post divorce. This song was EVERYWHERE and yeah, it thumps along and seems interminable on occasion, but every time I hear it I'm transported back to that time of both discovering Europe and rediscovering myself after 12 years of marriage. Crazy, indeed.

GREAT COMMENT!
My first two days as a music composition and performance student (many, many years ago) went like this ...
Professor: "I will play 50 minutes of music. You will listen without talking or taking notes." We listened to everything from the Beatles to Basie to Beethoven to Gregorian chants to African tribal music to musique concrete.
Made me realize the wide expanse of "music" and taught me a little about things I didn't know.

Proof pop perfection can achieve 10/10
I don't care how much airplay this got when it came out, it's a good tune and I like it :)
Saw Cee-Lo at one of those mid-size city summer festivals. So many things were messed up about it, including him being so late that he missed half his timeslot.
Then, when he introduced this song he talked like Gnarls Barkley was just this alias he came up with. Can't even spare a smidge of acknowledgement to the partner he made it with? What a knob.

This is a great song. This is why I like RP so much . What will be the next song? Box of chocolates anyone?
Great song thanks!

There was a time when this made me crazy. Not using the PSD and listening to every song has increased my appreciation of many songs/genre. Now when this is played a little smile appears. There has been worth while music through out history. Never disallow yourself the opportunity to expand your horizons.

I'm a little surprised at the negative comments. I just think of it as a tight little pop song. Makes me move.
One of the only 2 or 3 songs on the RP playlist that I must absolutely mute.

I'd never heard of this song until one day at work, when our cute little janitor, Jennifer, was trying to describe it but she didn't know the name of the song or who did it, so she sang it in a high-pitched voice with the cutest southern accent (she hailed from Alabama) and did a little dance to it... When it came on the radio, we were all dancing to it.
And I still dance to it when I hear it, and I remember Jennifer with love...

We'd be Crazy not to!
For me, this song represents the beginning of the end of my "single" life, great, somewhat fuzzy memories, surprised my house is still standing after some of the rocking parties....equally surprised no cops showed up (the benefits of having 1/2 acre lot...keeps the neighbors from complaining as much) and thankful for the few non-rap tracks that we played over and over like this one. I remember my roommate/homey and I rushed to download this on LimeWire immediately after we first heard it on a friend's myspace page....ahh...those were the years!!
CeeLo rocks...
I agree with you.

Finding that I tend to remember which year was which by what music was playing where I happened to be, this one is easy. 2006. A very good year.

Today, this followed a Stevie Wonder hit (yes, I know he has dozens) that had an interesting song comment. The comment was something like this: "I wonder what the '70s would have been like if we had today's technology then."
Well, I assume that Stevie Wonder would sound a lot like Gnarls Barkley. Same vibe that gets you moving, with Stevie lyrics to make a societal point. Got no idea what Diana Ross or Led Zeppelin would sound like. The Beatles' sound, of course, would not change one whit.
Thanks; I'll go now.

I think we can all agree there are much more appealing versions, but this is a good one as well and i will be adding it to my collection.

I like it. Someone suggeted it has an "honest Motown feel," which I can certainly feel. It's fun, poppy, and makes me wonder why I'm not doing some sidewalk boogie in my Chuck Taylors.
Since I've already gone crazy, I like this song.

Tired of hearing this on Clear Channel stations and then hearing it here too? Fine — do what I do and give up Clear Channel stations. I rarely hear this song, and I love it. Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut, much like the mainstream radio industry found this gem of a song.
If you just plain don't like the song on its own merits, that's fine. Feel free to dislike it. But if your gripe is that you're hearing it too many places, then you need to change your environment. For me, it absolutely belongs in the RP mix, no question.

Please, no more, I cannot stand this song anymore.
OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. I'm out of here.

from what I've read, Brian Burton is not as corporate as listening to this song might let you think. only because it was a "smash hit", doesn't make it corporate imho.
you might wanna check on the following link. i find the list of the people -he collaborated with / worked for so far- pretty impressive. even some "indie"-veterans amongst them! ;o)

The story behind this is a lot more interesting than the song.

Only the existence of Sparklehorse keeps this from being the stupidest band name ever.

Great follow up to Supreme Beings of Leisure....Bill, this last hour & a half your killing me here.....its great! But then, we all know your the mix master...
Rolling Stone #1 song of the decade of the 2000's.
I guess I am just one of the hoi polloi because I agree.
Somehow I never get tired of it; even had it as my ringtone a couple of years.
(Now my ringtone is Los Lonely Boys- My Way. Wonder why they aren't on RP?)

I am so sick and tired of people who think that extremely popular songs that get played too much on terrestial radio should be low rated or flat out not played on RP.
This is a freaking great song and definitely needs to be part of the eclectic RP mix.
Maybe I'm craaaaazyyyyyy, but I don't listen to freaking terrestrial radio anymore so the only times I get to hear this are on RP or when it pops up if I'm playing my collection on random.
And I love it when it does.
I wish they didn't beat the shit out of this one. It's good, but a rating increase will take years.
On another note, he gets high ratings for his short arms. Those things are amazing.

Woah, I love Adele!
I always loved this song - better now that it's out of heavy radio rotation. Great follow-up with Ms Jones and the Dap-Kings! Not good for the work effort though...
I never did like this song.

I've never really been into Soul, but this song is absolutely excellent, and makes me want to listen to more songs in the genre.
Man, I hope in the last 11 months you've had a deep dive into soul. You have missed so much.
