I saw this under All Access "Cool New Music"/Spotlight Tracks: "The band has a massive, faithful following. The song is catchy, summertime fun! The former AAA smash is now at Top 40 - WIXX (#1!!), XM 20, WIHB, WXYK, WSPK - and Hot AC - WPLJ, WOMX, KSTP, KUDD, KLTG, WMJC. Watch Craig Ferguson open a recent episode of The Late Late Show with the song." I checked the 51-100 charts that Adam posts regularly, and as of May 8th, 2009: 73 66 MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD Say Hey (I Love You) Anti 175 150 25 1.165 Then, I youtubed it and found this: I heard it and I IMMEDIATELY FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS!!!!! Great Summery vibe, innocent but very nice lyrics. Excellent production, with a reggae-vibe with some Brazilian influence, which is even clearer in the video based on Rio de Janeiro: favelas, Cristo Redentor de Corcovado (Christ Redeemer), Pão de Açucar (Sugarloaf mountain), the capoeira dancers, etc. Hope this becomes a HIT!!! Oh, and then youtube kept playing another video of them: "Time To Go Home" and now I am a fan of them :o www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSeuLsNV4CAVery good proposal. I like it! Probably some conservatives will not like them as much... but from a purely musical point of view, I think they deserve all types of success. Good luck!

If Michael Franti were gonna find mainstream success, I think it would have happened a long time ago. I doubt, at this point in his career, that's even his objective. He's got a considerable fanbase by now...

Who knows.... maybe he also wants to spread his music/message beyond the Alternative circle. That would never be a bad idea.

This is a sleeper hit. Good phones and research at several stations, including mine.

I was going to make a thread for this about a month or so ago, but decided not to since I thought it was going to get locked, but now that is has officially reached the top 50, I'm so excited! I love this song so much! It's the definition of a summer anthem, but without the actual success (yet).

Fluke update most likely. I'm sure tomorrow it'll get a good update a nice number of adds.

I did not even know the song existed...and the video in based o my city? I'll surely watch this when i get home...hopefully it makes justice to our locations ps- Paradiso Girl's song is good... but the Pitbull one from the hotel...is such a rip off from a Brazilian song it makes me laugh. it feels so dated to me. Can't he create an original beat for once?

YAY! I wish this would've been a hit one or two months ago, though. This is the definition of a summer song.

never thought this gay sound song charted this high. How is the sound of this song homosexual? Or do you mean in the teen sense of the word, stupid? Or maybe you mean the old sense of the word, happy? I'm not sure what you're getting at there. 34 28 MICHAEL FRANTI & SPEARHEAD Say Hey (I Love You) 1739 1428 311 8.990 +49 spins +19 bullet +0.181 AI

I'm not sure what I think of this yet. Everytime I hear it I think, "Hmm...Next I'm Yours?" and then I end up turning off the radio. Maybe it's a grower.

I had high hopes from what everyone had said about it and after finally hearing it, I guess I shouldn't have.

I didn't know this song was that old. The video came out last year. It might as well be the next "I'm Yours" in terms of age. I bet this will have an interesting chart run too.
