Another Day in Paradise

It's Phil Collins, Hi, so everyone was gonna love it as well.

And we did Another Day in Paradise.

After the fact, my girl Ally let me know that the meaning behind the song is something about homelessness, and that that could come off very tone deaf considering it was a rather extravagant wedding, which I totally get.

I didn't know that.

Was that research that I was supposed to do? I guess maybe, probably.

The only lyrics I know is, "Da, da, da, a man on the street.

Another day in paradise." Okay, this guy's taking a little video of me from his bike, which is really cute and cool.

What's up, bruh? So that was our first dance song.

Yes, from Van Morrison now we go to Jamaica.

We're gonna listen to Dennis Brown's hit, a cover version of Another Day in Paradise.

Good words, good lyrics, good execution, and forever something we should all be thinking about.

Another Day in Paradise, Dennis Brown.

Stand here.

Things are bad and times are hard.

I was just listening to your episode from last week about the hits of 1990.

And you mentioned Another Day in Paradise with Phil Collins, and it reminded me, just zapped me back to a memory I had Christmas Eve, or sorry, Christmas morning of 1989.

And as we were just starting to open up presents, my parents put on the radio that And Another Day in Paradise by Phil Collins starts playing Christmas morning.

So my little nine-year-old Derek is opening Christmas presents while the song on the radio starts talking about, you know, people passing homeless people and people passing people in need and not looking back.

And I'm like, looking back on it now, I thought, what kind of angry DJ did they have playing that morning that just,

Like, you know what? I don't get to have a good Christmas morning.

No one else is having one either.

And right after I play Another Day in Paradise, we're going to play From a Distance.

And it reminds me of the Phil Collins song that we loved as kids, right? What was the name of that one?

Paradise.

Another

Day in Paradise.

Another Day in

Paradise, yeah.

Right? Hold on, I got a runny nose.

The kids are back in school and it is sick time, guys.

Not this doesn't contain a pretty lazy sample.

This song based on the keyboard line of Phil Collins' Another Day in Paradise.

A number two hit for Phil Collins in November 1989.

Kept off the top spot by Lisa Stansfield's All Around the World.

The track he produced, Passion, by Amen UK, made its number 15 in 1997.

And the track, Lover, by Rachel McFarlane, making its number 38 in 98. and 36 in 2005.

We recently talked about them due to their track Let's Get Down which made its number 22 in September 2005 and appeared as the summer theme song to an Australian television network and that's about all there is to say that's vaguely exciting about them so let's maybe talk for five minutes about Another Day in Paradise by Phil Collins and if I'm talking about Phil Collins rather than talking about an artist you know that they're dull.

So this, the first track from Phil Collins' album But Seriously, suggests a man who wants to be taken seriously and wants to write about serious topics.

But anyway, what I thought was interesting is that despite being the biggest selling single in the U.S. for the entire calendar year of 1990, it lost the Grammy for Record of the Year 2.

Phil Collins is another day in paradise.

So it was the biggest song selling single in the U S in 1990.

Hands down.

If you're out and they pull up a

karaoke,

they're not pulling up Another Day in Paradise, but they will
