105. Tom Tom Club: Genius of Love

While I think the inclination is to stick this in the electronica/club section, to me this is a nice and easy summer song. A farty bouncy 6-note synth riff, and the puffy female harmonies make this ideal for patio drinking. Steals the best of reggae in this regard.

That said, the rap verse and the german verse don't completely stand up to multiple close listens in a row.

Bo-hannon, bo-hannon, bo-hannon, bo-hannon.

Who? Hamilton Bohannon of course, Stevie Wonder's drummer.

RATING: 74.
