She is so charming! She transmits a certain shyness and a good vibe when she sings. I saw a video of Edie Brickell singing on David Letterman in 1988, and she has not changed her spirit at all. The song is so cool that I rediscovered it on the radio and it has been playing in my head all day. Thank you, Edie Brickell, for this musical gem.

This song is still badass. Even after all these years it still hits.

[aceshigh]

i love that she still smiles when she sings.

She was like a breath of fresh air when I heard her back in 80s very special very unique..

[Bjornsson]

She's still got it. I saw the music video of this song from 87 just last week and I was smitten. She aged like wine!

[gwenmeade]

Have a lot of admiration for this lady and her enormous yet understated talents. Well done!

[KristenGraves-fy]

Oh, memories. I used to go watch them play before they had the hit at Popsicle Toes in Dallas in the mid 80s - - The song has aged well.

[ericreganiguess]

Love her still. What a talented lady.
She blew me away in the 80s... and still does today.

Going to see Edie and the band on Monday at the Fillmore SF😎

She knocked me out the first time I heard this song, I never heard anything like it before. I remember seeing an early video of this song, long before the 1988 release, as far back as 1983-84, with just Edie Brickell in the video dancing around in the rain.

My favourite band of all time. I remember hearing this song for the first time while quite ill in hospital in 1984-1985 and this song was played so much on the radio, I just it.

[zapwatt]

Sounds very good. What a radiant smile too.

Edie's such a blessing. I won't talk her up too much cause I know she's taken. That's the weird thing about being a fan is still gotta be respectful of boundaries. But, just such a down to earth, hometown girl so to speak. Bright eyed. Soft and sweet. Respectful and genuine. And humble - like she's just another person in the crowd. Dont see it too often in celebrities. I wonder if she was part of church choir growing up. She kinda brings that "we're all part of this celebration" feel. I guess it's like "welcoming you in to the party" rather than "come dig my cool sounds" - idk, something like that.. Very uplifting like church choir is meant to be. This is what most types of "music" is mostly meant to be as well. Not all. But I'd say very few actually 'hit the note'. This one is probably one of 10 most underrecognized songs out there. I like how she sings from such a "natural place" inside. It's hard to explain I think, but it's just about being comfortable in her element or something. I think the singers that "run the stage" and "take control of the mic" weren't able to get in their element on stage (likely not easy for many).
The guitar in this song is just flat out trippy. Got that jimi hendrix 'talk to you' style.

[perritogomez]

i was 8 years old when i hear this song and like me, and she still loking young and her voice also is the same

[johnwriterpoet]

Check out " School of Rock " kids performing this song. Sounds like the original!

... remembering Good Times on windows 95 =)

Only a couple of bands can handle a double drum set. Tesdeski Trucks did. Amazingly, I didn't know who Edie was until a couple of years ago( no mention about how old I am).

[namcat]

How does she make her mouth open so far? WAAAAH!
