Today’s Tuesday Tunes features a couple of my favorite songs from the early 80’s. I always knew that Tom Browne wrote Funkin’ For Jamaica. I believe I’ve even featured him here before but I didn’t realize until recently that he made another funky song with some stroooong bass from back in the day. I’m going to share a double shot of jams to help you groove into the rest of the week.

You can never actually have “too much” of Funkin’ For Jamaica so here’s Tom and the band with their first big hit from 1981.

Jamaica Funk… that’s what it is
let it get into you
C’mon I’ve got a groove… you know where I’ll be…
Funkin for Jamaica…
If ya feel it… let it get into you
Jamaica funk that’s what it is
let it get into you

I feel it… inside my soul
let it get into you
Cause there’s enough to go all the way around
let it get into you… let it fill you up inside
This feelin’s funk that’s what it is
let it get into you
Jamaica funk that’s what it is… baby come funk with me
we-be funkin for Jamaica
If ya feel it…
and I let it get into me…
Jamaica funk that’s what it was…
let it get into you…
That feelin’s funk that’s what it was…
and I let it get into me… I let it get into me
woa woa woa this feelin’s funk… that’s what it is
baby come funk wit me…
Baby come funk… Funk

O.K. now that you’ve gotten funky with Jamaica all over again, doesn’t it make you want to grip some hips and move? That’s right, the song “Thighs High” is on that same album from ‘81. Couldn’t scrounge any lyrics so you can have fun seeing if you remember them accurately. If you find a web page send me the link, I’ll update this post and we’ll see how good our memories are.

Anyway, here’s Tom and crew one more ‘gain with “Thighs High”.

Have any other Tom Browne faves? C’mon and share them with the rest of us.
