Aisha Tyler is beautiful, funny, and intelligent. Even if I didn't like Weird Al Yankovic already, I'll watch practically anything with Aisha in it. [/fanboy]

What is the structure of what is happening between the guitar and bass? My head is spinning. One of the best craziest songs I have heard. Is this just a clusterfuck or is it a work of genius?

Sounds tame to me..
As a general category Afro-Pop fusion .

I hear a touch of reggae and American rhythm and blues. What grabs you is the background percussion that has no breaks. Relentless syncopation.

The sax intro, jazz-blues

The guitar and bass sounds a little like 'only you know'.

The drum lead in is right out of the Sht movie theme song..

In the 60s-70s forms, rhythms, and riffs flowed freely between American, Cuban, African, and Latino music.

Fusion was the term that was coined.

Tito Puente. His percussion had a major influence.

There was a time when Cuban music and rhythms were considered too overtly sexual in the USA.
