Woke Up Laughing is a 1998 album of remixes, re-recordings and otherwise creative approaches to Robert Palmer's music recorded over the years that reflected his love of world music. Subtitled Adventures in Tropical Music: 1977-1997, he produced the new versions himself. Suggested to Palmer by Gerald Seligman, the Executive Producer and creator of EMI Hemisphere, Palmer rejected the idea of a simple compilation, preferring a rethink and a fresh approach. It is: "A collection of songs inspired by a love of the world of music, 1977-1997, with many alternate versions appearing for the first time on disc."
Released on Metro Blue, the label affiliate of Blue Note Records, based in New York City.
