It's All Good: The Story of Sean Paul's 'Get Busy'

from Encore: The Stories Behind The Songs You Love · host iHeartRadio

Is there anything better than a song that pops up on the radio, a bar or a club - or even unexpectedly in a playlist, and it just makes you happy? I mean, I know we’re in the business of documenting hit songs here on encore - but I’d argue that the first seconds - scratch that - milliseconds of Sean Paul’s super-hit Get Busy are some of the most euphoric moments in all of music.  There’s just something about that call-to-action ‘Shake that thing’ intro, the doubling up of syllables in Kana-Kana, and Ana-Bella that captivates you - even before the rhythm hits. I bet - and I totally didn’t research this - Get Busy is the most fully listened to three minutes and thirty seconds in all of music; because once you press play - there ain’t no WAY you’re shutting the song off until it’s over. This is the story of Sean Paul's Get Busy - with newly unearthed audio from Sean Paul! Written by Clayton Taylor for iHeartRadio Canada
