Thank goodness for utube. I am a 63 year old musician of many decades. I still have my 97 year old Mother in my care. I listen to music all the time and so does she. Honestly, while I had this jamming, I looked up and Mama was tapping her foot. Then I told her the nice words to the song. Tony Toni Tone has 97 year old folks rocking to his clean music. I hope they all made it. I see where the group "High Five" totally lost their minds. I'm in here right now pulling the chords to this group's song named "Thinking of You". Bless You Tony Toni Tone!
Yes, God bless your mom and God bless you for having her in your care❤🙏🏽🙌🏽 and their music was very clean. I’m remembering this song now. I am only 47 but I do really get a good enjoyment of music when I listen to it through Tony! Toni! Toné!.
I remember this song OMG I loved all three of them. They each had a swag that was extremely different. The whole group was different especially in the times. We grew up different in a good way in a talented way.💕💕💕💕💕🙌🏾✅
I was thinking that same thing as I watching this video. This video was done in 1988 but in 2014 educated people with Bachelor and Master degrees are getting the shaft by companies. How prophetic Raphael was 26 years ago. I always said that brother make music that has a deeper meaning in regards to relationships and life itself.
Fun Facts.....the line "Things are getting crazy, I ain't wearing no Paisley" was a diss to Prince, who tried to sign Tony Toni Tone to Paisley Park Records. Raphael said the contract was crazy, so the group declined.
One Question, Gene Simmons who, And Didn't Raphael Saadiq propose to Dawn of Envogue? I should know, Take this from Me. Natalie T. Atlas La AD familia Sept 2023 Happy Birthday Gene, Uua Assoc CA.
2020 and this is still my shyt. This is one of most underrated groups in musical history. MONEY: Had My Own FRIENDS: We Had Fun DRUGS: Didn't Indulge SEX: Had The Right Person WORKED: All My Days CRIME: Did Not Pay LOVE: Didn't Apply LIVED: I've Lived Now I Gotta Die 🤔Words I literally lived by. Life was phenomenally beautiful in those days and times😢 I'd give anything to be able to go back. Be safe everyone out there😷 1Love✌💯✌
Mint Condition, and Tony Toni Tone were the Last holdouts of the "Band" Era!...........a shame we got tattooed freaks wit a R.Kelly voice wit no vision for R and B now.
R.I.P. Lisa Wallace.This song and video was released as we were getting to know one another. I think of you whenever I hear it. As it always has, this song will always be a reminder of your beauty and humility. I will always love you.
I'm so happy my parents knew who was dope back in the day! We had all the VHS tapes lol The Jacksons American dream, Moonwalker, Tony Toni Tone discography, MC Hammer videos on tape 😂😂😂 The list goes on God Bless The Old but Gold🙌🙏❤
Listened to this song for years.. Just humming in my head.. For the first time I received the true meaning.. deeper than social, wealth, racism oppression
Wow it's like they took this to church it's got that "I Don't Know What You Came To Do" feeling I Came To Clap My Hands (My Hands) I Came To Stomp My Feet (My Feet)
I thank these brotha's. As a kid I with trouble to be found around every corner, I couldn't get this song outta my head....it became a personel anthem for me. Well I'm a man now.....& sh*t turned out alright!!!!
It's a joy to see this, still sounds so good. My Mother's favorite song by the 3 T's, she was such a fan, as much as I was. I love "For the Love of You," along with many others of course. Thank you guys for helping to create such great memories, I will always cherish in my heart, both of my parents have passed on. Thanks for helping me smile again.
The year that I graduated High School I was under a 1979 Rabbit doing an engine swap. This song came on Hot102 and the whistles got lodged in my Grey matter. I have never heard that song again (it's 2021 now) but I never forgot the catchy jingle. 33 years. Not bad.
Love the music, and that Betty Boop guitar. I love everything Boop, down to the tattoo on my right hip. I recently acquired this Betty Boop guitar from the CA seller, and although I don't play, she is my most prized piece of Boop art, hanging on my wall near the Boop-o-polis poster and a framed Boop jigsaw puzzle. Boop boop a doop!!!
My first favorite TTT song. Underrated. I remember thinking the Wiggins and Tim were related to Babyface and his brothers. Lawd. And I had a suit patterned after Raphael's black and white outfit. Lawd. LOL
They are so fine, I love them all equally Dwayne is too fine and Raphael, I always liked older men I know it's weird as a 7 year old I has a crush on Raphael and still do....lol.
Their break-up came from WITHIN! I just saw that documentary and was heartbroken. My GOODNESS what money can do to the Earthly body. That SOUL will have to answer. I hope they make things right with one another before they start dying off. Three members didn't get paid. That needs to be fixed and made correct.
This song was cool .I like what they said . I AINT GOING PAISLEY . They had a chance to sign with Prince , but they chose to be free than be controllef. TTT WISDOM .
Ok i have always been a fan of Raphael Saadiq & Lucy Pearl, but i grew up with only the most famous hits from TTT and never saw their videos....until today. LOLLLLL @ how Raphael was looking!!!!!!!! With his backwards Love Boat hat. He looks like cute lil boy who's cheeks you wanna pinch (but are afraid to because jheri curl juice might start drippin down). Oh man the last 80s/early 90s....
😍💞I JUST FAINTED💞😍 Mint Condition had totally slipped my radar. This was one phenomenal group. I actually still have some of their music. They were highly underrated.
Yes but Tony Toni Tone came out way before mint condition by the time they came out Tony Toni Tony they was working on their 3rd album both of them are legends
rah i'm born in 92 so i have no idea how good music was back in the day unluckingly i have to grow up listening to todays shit i mean early 2000s was still good so i was about 8-14 whilst it was still blowing good, i never knew this was in 1980s though always thought it was 90s
Boy just to think this song is over 20 years old now. Brings back some great memories of me and my sister who died around the time this joint came out! RIP! Thanks for posting.
Each person were born to know right from wrong and or each person were born to know to make fair, comfortable and or beautiful not to make unfair, uncomfortable and or ugly of called mean for no good nor right reason; ✌ peace & 😘 respect to Toni! Tone! Tony! for sharing their beauty and talent mimicking the made-up words of art in a way that some some people act out and or say kinda similar though may not be same as Tony! Tone!

This is such a fun video! I kind of want Raphael's whole outfit including the hat! So adorable he is. "Things are gettin' crazy....I ain't wearin' paisley"
In light of the recent story Raphael Saadiq shared about his firing from Prince's band(s) project in around 1987 on Questlove's Spotify interview (Okayplayer 'Raphael Saadiq Reveals The Hilariously Petty Way He was Fired by Prince) and out of remembering T3, and doing a simple search of Raphael IN that time, 1987, 1988, and now watching this video for the first time SINCE 1988 when waiting Video Soul to play anything Prince, perhaps, and this only a point of view idea, that Sinbad's portrayal of an older generation singer, in a studio, with a black bed sheet, in a curly wig, with Curtis Mayfield SuperFly gold rimmed glasses... which Prince wore at the time for his Camille alter ego-long lost cousin, thang, that Saadiq and company are, in this video, MAKING FUN OF PRINCE. The difference of course is that Housequake was more memorable😐.
It's been almost 28 years since I've seen this video. Thanks for uploading it VEVO. By the way, when are you gonna upload Tony! Toni! Toné!'s first video Little Walter?

Yes I use too love this song man music just not like this no more. 💙🥰
I have to agree with you on that one 💯
@@listentoauntrobin9617DROP 🎤
Its a real shame that this song is still so very real today. How many of our best college people are hearing the same thing, can I get a job, NO !
I was thinking that same thing as I watching this video. This video was done in 1988 but in 2014 educated people with Bachelor and Master degrees are getting the shaft by companies. How prophetic Raphael was 26 years ago. I always said that brother make music that has a deeper meaning in regards to relationships and life itself.
LOS ANGELES COLISEUM I Hear That!
jder06 life has a way of repeating itself...
@@gmcneoplan84 it'll always be that way.....unless you're hyper focused college is a waste.
Agree. The song is about Black people being raised the right way, but racism still giving us a ceiling no matter our accomplishments.
Fun Facts.....the line "Things are getting crazy, I ain't wearing no Paisley" was a diss to Prince, who tried to sign Tony Toni Tone to Paisley Park Records. Raphael said the contract was crazy, so the group declined.
Ha !!! How Ironic !!!

considering how vocal he was abt artists rights & equity, this is very crazy if true
Classic. Sinbad was in at least two videos with them.
He is so damn silly. I’m still laughing at the end of the video GOD. Did we all love Sinbad❤🙏🏽🙌🏽
2020 and this is still my shyt. This is one of most underrated groups in musical history.
MONEY: Had My Own
FRIENDS: We Had Fun
DRUGS: Didn't Indulge
SEX: Had The Right Person
WORKED: All My Days
CRIME: Did Not Pay
LOVE: Didn't Apply
LIVED: I've Lived Now I Gotta Die
🤔Words I literally lived by. Life was phenomenally beautiful in those days and times😢 I'd give anything to be able to go back. Be safe everyone out there😷 1Love✌💯✌
At the 1:40 time gas was .89 cent a gallon at Arco. Man those were the days.
Very much an underrated song . These guys were good.
That Gumby guitar is the best thing I've seen all week.
+back2s0ul holy shit i think the other one is Pokey. =)

EXACTLY!!! They were the last of the great R&B bands. Those two and The Roots.
Auto tuning to boot!
Ohhh you know your SHI* my favorite bands!!! They don’t exist today
Rapping about drugs and different hoes
@@ladygemini5967 I love both of them as well I just got done listening to me and you plus little walter.
The words that my Mother said were true.🙏

That’s hilarious we did too. I’d add LL Cool J yo that list as well. We watched all of those videos everyday. That’s why I love music now
Shout out to Ice cream, Rev and Elijae, they don't get their props enough as part of Tony Toni Tone
HAPPY 53RD BIRTHDAY D'WAYNE WIGGINS (FEBRUARY 14, 2016)
Raphael had so much style !! 👌🏽
Listened to this song for years.. Just humming in my head.. For the first time I received the true meaning.. deeper than social, wealth, racism oppression
THIS SONG HAS AN OLD SCHOOL 60's FEEL TO IT. ITS A CROSS BETWEEN JUNIOR WALKER AND STAX SOUL MUSIC.
I hate it how they broke up and those three Tony,Toni,Tone got greedy over the money and cut the other three members out
When most music is fun. I can listen to this one over and over and over.
Tony Tone Toni was the sh"t
Stacie Jones yes
🤙💯Sho Yo Rite💯🤙
HIGHLY UNDERRATED
It was like Sinbad was in all of your videos from their first album
Wow it's like they took this to church it's got that "I Don't Know What You Came To Do" feeling
I Came To Clap My Hands (My Hands)
I Came To Stomp My Feet (My Feet)
This song is old than that though.
Lawdy, these boys did music that could make grandma get out on the floor and do something! That beat is just nasty!
My true homeboys, Oak-Town Baby! these cats set high standards in the New jack era.
I am a true 3T fan!! This was tha jam in 1988!! I've been loving these cats for a very long time...
Now since Im grown, Ive learned alot more....no truer lines ever spoken! Peace!
LGKids a lot of wisdom being song in this joint
I thank these brotha's. As a kid I with trouble to be found around every corner, I couldn't get this song outta my head....it became a personel anthem for me. Well I'm a man now.....& sh*t turned out alright!!!!
Man, that Gumby guitar and Pokey bass are so fucking wicked!
This joint Popped in my head out of nowhere!
Love the Pokey, Gumby & Betty Boop guitars!!!
The last great 80s R&B group.. Thanks for posting!

Best group ever and that message still works. Love them
...WOW!!...2017, and this JAM is still KILLIN' IT!!...👍
Listening in 2019
When music was music a simpler time when it was just fun plus a young Sinbad acting a fool never hurts, one of my favs
I had the biggest crush on Raphael Saadiq. I think he's a Taurus, lol Still do, lol
Love the music, and that Betty Boop guitar. I love everything Boop, down to the tattoo on my right hip. I recently acquired this Betty Boop guitar from the CA seller, and although I don't play, she is my most prized piece of Boop art, hanging on my wall near the Boop-o-polis poster and a framed Boop jigsaw puzzle.

I would luv to see your collection mam!!!
That's my grandma. That's everybody's grandma. LOL!!! Sinbad is hilarious.
+najma doran He Sure Is!
My first favorite TTT song. Underrated. I remember thinking the Wiggins and Tim were related to Babyface and his brothers. Lawd. And I had a suit patterned after Raphael's black and white outfit. Lawd. LOL
You can’t help but bop your head...things are getting crazy...I ain’t wearing paisley....2020 baby!!!
A super collab would be Raphael Sadiq Speech of Arrested Development
My feet are happy. Great song.
The whole Granny thing reminds me of Funky Worm by the Ohio Players - check it out.
I don’t know what they’re doing on another Planet but I’m here on Earth, & it’s BEAUTIFUL!!
I grew up around the time this music was out I would say that the 80's were the best years miss those days
Tony Toni Toné has done it again!
Raphael Saadiq looks like a teenager in this. Wow!
He damn near was. He was about 21 when this video was filmed.
laja82 He was when this was doing , a little cutie lol
@@gmcneoplan84 and still look 21
laja82 yes he was really young then 53 now and looking good
He was young
They are so fine, I love them all equally Dwayne is too fine and Raphael, I always liked older men I know it's weird as a 7 year old I has a crush on Raphael and still do....lol.
I always had a crush on him and Elijah Baker

Oh man the last 80s/early 90s....
That was me in this video❤️
Which one?
Seems like everyone was getting fired, even Sinbad. lol
Possibly the funkiest song I’ve ever heard and that’s saying something!
This reminded me of SLY Stone, everything about it is like him. He was a force to be recorded with. These guys always seems to enjoying themselves.
What about Mint Condition? Them dudes are legends and they are still releasing great music.
Yes I love them very underrated
😍💞I JUST FAINTED💞😍
Mint Condition had totally slipped my radar. This was one phenomenal group. I actually still have some of their music. They were highly underrated.
Yesssss
They took up where 3T left off lol
Yes but Tony Toni Tone came out way before mint condition by the time they came out Tony Toni Tony they was working on their 3rd album both of them are legends
Love this song!! Love the group!! So many great songs!!

Ha ha...never understood the "I'm not wearing paisley" reference until now - back then, I wondered why that line was in there.
3T was cool in the late 80's and early 90's!
Ha love the Gumby and Pokey guitars.
Them boys were sharp.
