roy ayers live & documentary vol.1... only available in japan... damn!!#@ (thanks zaid for the tip!)

here's an autopsy of a classic:
...after four bars of establishing the groove, the first of many vocal chants enters with the song's mantra: "Do-be-doo, run run run." Hand claps on the second and fourth beats also make an appearance, adding an almost surprising buoyancy to the rhythm. The first lyrics enter at 0:44, sung by a predominantly female chorus, and describe a one-sided relationship: "'Cause you've been mean to me, and I've been good to you, and I've been oh so true." The content is secondary to the rhythm of the words, the way the syllables edge into the groove in a polyrhythmic fashion. Ayers begins to sing at 1:33, but his cycle of silence every two bars gives the impression of confused, half-completed thoughts, those of a man unable to comprehend the reasons of a failing relationship. At 2:24 the chorus returns, and Ayers chants mournfully in the background: "I'm running away."
