Every time this comes into my ears, my pressure drops.  Thanks Bill and Alanna!

This also is a good candidate for the new RP Jazz Channel.

I knew that this one was always an earworm for meteorologists (I believe the reference is to falling barometric pressure heralding impending foul weather), but I had not thought about all the engineers who work with fluid dynamics.

Totally impossible to say which brilliant song is the best on this album.  I can, however, say this one was always my favorite on a gut level.  And my favorite Toots song until I heard 54-46.  RIP

Thanks for "Stay Calm, Stay Safe." Radio Paradise is a part of my normal "work from home" routine. I encourage all newbies working from home to keep a familiar voice and mix of music playing to keep you company while social-distancing.
Stay calm, stay safe. We will all make it to the other side of this.

A "pressure drop" or a drop in barometric pressure is the sign of a storm, and in the Caribbean, a significant drop in pressure is a hurricane--a weather phenomenon that is, well, not all that uncommon. This is a grand metaphor for nature leveling her very best on, at best, a cheating mate.

Re: the Nilsson song.  Where do you get this "nonsense calypso" stuff'.  This is about a person who is going "coconuts" over life's common and mostly trivial problems.  The advise is to take your "coconut(s)" put in a little lime and swallow it. e.g. deal with it.  e.g. take an asperin and call me in the morning.  e.g. when given life's lemons, make lemonade.

I never realized that anyone had trouble figuring out the lyrics.  One key is the part that says "I say when it drops, oh you gonna feel it
Know that you were doing wrong. "  So pressure drop refers not to a lowering of the barometric reading but the pressure that inevitably comes when one's misdeeds come home to roost.  And of course, the 'drop' part refers to the suddenness heaviness with we can be stricken by such awareness.

We watched the The Harder They Come in college one day for the sake of it.  A classic for sure, with the arguable birth of Ska.  The soundtrack is the endurable part of the film, as the plot has largely been forgotten (at least on my part).  Toots & The Maytals are part of Ska/Reggae history, and for anyone whom is interested in the roots of either genre should definitely check them out.

Great segue Bill - from classic Clash tune Magnificent Seven to this reggae tune that the Clash covered. I kinda like the Clash version better, much in the same way I like the early Beatles covers of Chuck Berry and Motown songs better than the originals.

Or, on the other hand, the profound droppage of the Pressures of Life both specifically and generally, which occurs after inhalation of massive amounts of Ganja.

It's a very nice film with an excellent 80's soundtrack with a slight emphasis on English ska. Ah, in the film it's actually the Specials' cover of "Pressure Drop". The Clash covered it as well.
The previous song on RP was The Clash's "The Magnificent seven", and I believe that The Clash's Joe Strummer compiled that excellent soundtrack for GPB. Yes, AMG agrees, but IMDB draws a complete ... Blank.
OK, ya cahn com een, if you give me an airplane!

(Speaking of film links, of course The Harder They Come and The Magnificent Seven are also films)

 
Grosse Pointe Blank"—I pretty much bought everything in that movie except for the drawn out showdown at the end and the fact that a commercial terrestrial radio station in suburban Detroit would be playing English ska (not that I would object to such a station).

As have The Specials (in my opinion the best version, from the mid-90s), a band made up partly of members from the Beat (formerly the English Beat).

Saw them perform this song in Boulder, CO in 1975. Toots was mezmerizing. I could swear that his eyes were glowing as he performed. It was one of the most amazing concerts I've ever been to. Everbody danced to the music, nonstop - nobody sat down. I always just assumed that reggae music sucked until I saw these guys.. boy was I wrong. This is the kind of music you really need to experience in a live setting..

It first appeared as a single (in Jamaica) in 1969, I think. It was included on the Sweet & Dandy and Monkey Man LPs, both from that year.

"The Harder They Come" released 1972 "Sandinista!" released 1980 The Harder They Come is a soundtrack to the Movie of the same name. Great film, unbelievable record. If you had to have one Reggae record this would be it. Sandinista! was a three record set, forced to be sold at a two record set price by the Clash, that was banned in England because it used a banned word for its title.
