Wanna know something crazy i just learned myself.....?

It aint that hard .....

they come in one key-so you can't hit a bum note as such-so if the tune's in C-you just get out your C harmonica

i play guitar and keys well-NEVER been near a harmonica-till the last week-and i'm sounding cool on it already

get one and have a go..... wink

polkadotbliss is right. It's pretty much impossible to not be able to play the harmonica.

I never heard the song but just thinking about the two I never thought about how close those two songs are musically speaking.


Side note about Shake Your Body.

When that song hit back in 77 or 78 the Jacksons made an appearence on either Soul Train or American Bandstand one Saturday. All of the over 38 croud can easily remember the days before no MTV or BET and your "videos" came from those two shows.

Anyway Shake Your Body came on and the streets in our neighborhood were clear.Everybody was inside to see the Jacksons and as soon as the show was over everybody was back out in the streets trying their moves out. I was 8 years old and I will never forget that moment.

Thanks for sharing. Great story!
It's just so amazing to see so many yt videos and see how MJ's dances became part of so many peoples' lives.
I'm glad Prince mixed Mountains into Shake your body. Especially when he picks up the beat and says "double time." It just says...
Now groove bananadance

Yes, anyone can sound pretty good, but when you hear someone PLAY. DAT. HARP. it is outstanding. Believe it or not, I think the same applies to the kazoo! LOL (for real though)
