Doo Doo Doo...

I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't touched the sky

I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't touched the sky

She's a girl in a dream
She sees a four eyed cartoon monster on the TV screen
She takes another puff and says it's a crazy scene
That red is green
She's a tangerine

I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't left the ground

I'm too high
I'm too high
I hope I never ever come down

She's the girl in her life
But her world's a superficial paradise
She had a chance to make it big more than once or twice
But no dice
She wasn't very nice

[Harmonica Solo]

Doo Doo Doo...

I'm too high
I'm too high
I can't ever touch the sky

I'm too high
I'm so high
I feel like I'm about to die

She's a girl of the past
I guess that I got to her at last
Did you hear the news about the girl today?
She passed away
What did her friend say?

They said she's too high
Too high
Can't hang around anyway

Doo Doo Doo...

This is the worst song I've ever heard from Stevie Wonder. There is such thing as 'too seventies', and this is it.
 
Really? I would go with something like "Fox on the Run" or "Seasons in the Sun" or anything by ABBA. But Stevie Wonder "too 70s?"

Then you weren't there. Musically there can never be too much Seventies (except maybe...disco?).

My afternoon was dragging with too many stressors nipping at my heels and then RP played Too High and my mood brightened considerably. Your playlist today has been wide ranging and a real treat. I will be stopping in at the donations page before the day is done.

I have a bad headache coming and this doesn't make it any better. Mute.

In our smoke-filled dorm rooms in the 70s, we would for some inexplicable reason, laugh our fool heads off when we heard this song.

I found this tune just kind or ramblin' along, without much direction or theme to tie it together.  Too obtrusive for background music and not interesting enough to actively listen to.
 
Pretty much exactly.

Stevie is one of those artist (Elton John is another one) who had an incredible run that abruptly, and unexpectedly game to a screeching halt.
