We're jammin':
I wanna jam it wid you.
We're jammin', jammin',
And I hope you like jammin', too.
Ain't no rules, ain't no vow, we can do it anyhow:
I'n'I will see you through,
'Cos everyday we pay the price with a little sacrifice,
Jammin' till the jam is through.
We're jammin' -
To think that jammin' was a thing of the past;
We're jammin',
And I hope this jam is gonna last.
No bullet can stop us now, we neither beg nor we won't bow;
Neither can be bought nor sold.
We all defend the right; Jah - Jah children must unite:
Your life is worth much more than gold.
We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin')
And we're jammin' in the name of the Lord;
We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin'),
We're jammin' right straight from Yah.
Yeh! Holy Mount Zion;
Holy Mount Zion:
Jah sitteth in Mount Zion
And rules all creation.
Yeah, we're - we're jammin' (wotcha-wa),
Wotcha-wa-wa-wa, we're jammin' (wotcha-wa),
See, I wanna jam it wid you
We're jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin')
I'm jammed: I hope you're jammin', too.
Jam's about my pride and truth I cannot hide
To keep you satisfied.
True love that now exist is the love I can't resist,
So jam by my side.
We're Jammin' (jammin', jammin', jammin'), yeah-eah-eah!
I wanna jam it wid you.
We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin',
We're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin', we're jammin';
Hope you like jammin', too.
We're jammin', we're jammin' (jammin'),
We're jammin', we're jammin' (jammin').
I wanna (I wanna jam it wid you) - I wanna -
I wanna jam wid you now.
Jammin', jammin' (hope you like jammin' too).
Eh-eh! I hope you like jammin', I hope you like jammin',
'Cause (I wanna jam it wid you). I wanna ... wid you.
I like - I hope you - I hope you like jammin', too.
I wanna jam it;
I wanna jam it.
Elitist? Moi? Perhaps I'm guilty of that at times. However, if you are a vocal Trump supporter and you dig the Rastafarian vibe, I'll suspect that you are in a very rare subset indeed.
Peace.
I think probably less rare than you imagine. Count me in with gofishbish.

Hope you like it too!..........if not?

This song brings back one of my favorite college memories from 1988 or so: Freshman year, just starting to get to know a crowd of folks that are still friends to this day. We met and bonded largely based on the fact that a) we all lived in the same dorm, left our doors open and blasted music that invited others into our rooms to hang out and, b) we all smoked a lot of weed.
The scene: small group hanging out. One friend is reading a letter from her mom who is on a cruise in the Caribbean. Her mom is raving about the wonderful people, food, weather and music. She has just one complaint: she's getting pretty tired of that one song about "pajamas".
I have no doubt that the cruise ship was playing Exodus (AKA Bob Marley’s greatest hits) on endless repeat and I can see how this song would be annoying after about the 60th
time in 7 days, but to this day I still enjoy singing “pajamas”.

Here in 2022 there seems to be a small, but noticeable convergence between the far right and the far left. Being anti-mask, anti-vaccine, and anti-public schools seems to be a common thread between the two. Also, both extremes tend to believe and share a disproportionate amount of misinformation. This scares the !#$%^! out of me personally, but it seems to be less rare than you may think.

I hate this guy and his music. . .
Your song ratings show you hate pretty much everything. Why do you even listen to music if you basically hate it all?

Pajamas!
I hope you like my jammies!
How very elitist and intolerant of you. I voted for Trump and I love this guy and his music - and RP too btw .
"I voted for Trump"...
Who’s more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows the fool?

Sounds like a Trump voter.

I'm in the same boat. I respect the man and his work, but I just can't stand reggae.
As for why I rate some songs here a "1" and yet still listen, it's actually precisely because I don't like some of the music here that I listen to Radio Paradise. If I wanted to listen to a station that only played songs I at least liked, there are a fair few fairly generic local FM stations that would more than fill that need. Radio Paradise challenges me, though, and it introduces me to music I wouldn't hear anywhere else at the same time. Heck — it's almost the only reason I've bought any music at all in the past decade, and the music I've bought would almost certainly not have been anything that I'd have heard locally (Hooverphonic, anyone? :-) ).
And besides, by and large I really enjoy the vast majority of music that Radio Paradise plays, so that while yes, Bob Marley is most definitely not to my particular liking, much of what's here is.
So I'll keep listening, and I'll keep on hitting PSD when Bob comes on. :-)
Probably among the best negative comments I've read here on RP. Thanks for not just saying "this sucks!"
I must have rated most of Bob Marley's songs with 1 and Reggae in general with a maximum of 3 . Simply because to me this is bad music, it's more than it's not to my taste, it represents or evokes things that I don't feel connected to or even feel opposed to. it is not something that moves me, it irritates me. But to go as far as saying that I shouldn't be listening to RP because I'm not good enough to recognise what's good or not.... You're just presumptuous, don't feel superior to those who have given low ratings to reggae and/ or Bob Marley.
Wouldn't it be cool if, once logged in to RP, the songs we rated with less than 3 would be automatically PSD'ed ? Bill, could that be implemented ?

Judging by your (h)ratings, you hate quite a bit of music here. That's too bad.

Never say never. Try to find your way to any outdoor bar in the Caribbean with live music on any weeknight. Now that's situation to appreciate raggae.
Well your description on the outdoor bar DOES sound appealing, but then again...I'm still drawn to something other than reggae. It just gets old for me real fast.
you are right, this is the music for a good mood and start the day!
It sure did..... but I've never regretted a minute!!
Are you saying that you think Bill is an incarnation of a deity?
If so then you may have a point about that, though perhaps not about the ratio of Reggae to other music.
I began to write the same, when I saw your message
I was thinking the same thing. Actually I'm kinda done with the whole reggae thing for now. I'm never in a situation that I can truly appreciate it. I CANNOT listen to more than one or two tunes of reggae in a row. It's good in smaller doses.

Jambon........ mon! :-)
"Holy Pajamas"
I love pajamas... I wan' pajamas witchoo... pajamapajamapajamapajama... Geez, this is a fun song... And I'm not even stoned. But if I was, I could probably come up with a lot better stuff.
Sleep-deprived. Sorry.
"Holy Pajamas"

Jamming "cause we can neither be bought nor sold"
Same thought I had when I first crossed Tex-ass. But friends, Texans of course, said not to worry, that it would grow on me. They were right, it grew on me the way a cold sore slowly grows and festers.
This happens to be only one of his songs...also, coincidentally, the same song
we hear on every single other major radio station...
It was good the first few hundred times I heard it...
then again, maybe not that good...

"What is there to say about him that has not already been said. He is the legendary Robert Nesta "Bob" Marley, reggae's most popular and beloved artist. A legend who had a gift for translating the pain and politics of suppressed people into uplifting songs of deliverance. A legend who delivered messages of love and unity and pushed the underground sounds of reggae music onto the world stage. A legend who's music still holds true, now and always. A legend, whose music still inspires and brings tears to my eyes till this day." ~KristieU.

So "to jam" as a verb—which is the way it is used in the song—would be making jams?
Although jamming—as implied by the song—is a delicious activity, from all rhythmical/harmonic perspectives
(as in 'I wanna jamming with you' )
I don't get stoned and I LOVE Bob Marley and good reggae!
Yummmmmm..... apricot!
As a side note: I also remember later that same week having a bourbon in the motel and having the TV program interrupted to say that Elvis had died. Weird deja vu for me when they made the same kind of announcement about Bob himself and most recently, Michael Jackson.
The best T-shirt back in the day: "If you can't dance reggae... you can't dance!"
If I have to be at work, at least I can daydream about drinking on the beach, right?
I don't know about a prerequisite, but it certainly doesn't hurt.
True. I can't hear Marley without hearing (in my mind) the bubbling of my house-mate's bong in the background . . .
Exodus, Night Shift. Now those are some of my fav...
I'm with ya. I don't get Marley either. This may undermine my high ground here, but I'd love to hear that Weird Al song. That guy cracks me up.
Consider it done. High ground undermined.

Great song but it's the only Bob Marley song that ever gets any airplay, which is a real pity.
We're jammin'
Hope you like jammin' too!
