ANOTHER MYSTERY SOLVED
Have you, like me, ever wondered what, exactly, Lionel Richie was chanting during the middle eight of "All Night Long?" I know that you have. Well, friends, wonder no longer. Via retrocrush, here it is:

Tom bo li de say de moi ya
Yeah, jambo jumbo
Way to parti' o we goin'
Oh, jambali
Tom bo li de say de moi ya
Yeah, jambo jumbo!!

Yes, but can you address the long-standing rumor that during the late 80s, there was a satellite that broadcast this song on an endless loop, and radio stations simply faded it in and out whever they liked?

This theory would not explain why you claim the gibberish above always came in the middle--I sometimes heard it earlier or later, in I suppose "dance remixes"--but it would explain why its ubiquity set the standard for irritating pop songs later on, all of which are braodcast from the US's secret mind control lab at Raven Rock, also known as Dick Cheney's undisclosed "all-night-long" location.

I hear Dick DJs too, in off election years.
