    Lyrics:
    Party people
    Party people
    Can y'all get funky?
    Soul Sonic Force - can y'll get funky?
    The Zulu Nation - can y'll get funky?
    Yaaah!
    Just hit me
    Just taste the funk and hit me
    Just get on down and hit me
    Bambaataa's gettin' so funky, now, hit me
    Yaaah!
    Just hit me
    It's time to chase your dreams
    Up out ya seats, make your body sway
    Socialize, get down, let your soul lead the way
    Shake it now, go ladies, it's a livin' dream
    Love Life Live
    Come play the game, our world is free
    Do what you want but scream
    We know a place where the nights are hot
    It is a house of funk
    Females and males
    Both young and old, called the disco
    The D.J. plays your favorite blast
    Takes you back to the past, music's magic (puff)
    Bump bump bump get bump with some flash, people
    Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop (x2)
    The Soul Sonic Force - Mr. Biggs, Pow Wow, and M.C. Globe
    We emphasize to show, we got ego
    Make this your night, just slip it right, and by day
    As the people say, live it up, shucks
    No work or play, our world is free
    Be what you be - be
    Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop (x2)
    You're in a place where the nights are hot
    Where nature's children dance and say the chants
    On this Mother Earth, which is our rock
    The time has come, and work for soul, show you really got soul
    Are you ready hump bump bump, get bump, now let's go, house
    Twist and turn, the you let your body slide
    You got the body rock and pop, bounce and pounce
    Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
    Gotta rock it, don't stop
    Keep tickin' and tockin', work it all around the clock
    Everybody keep rockin' and clockin' and shockin' and rockin', go house
    Everybody say, rock it, don't stop it (Crowd repeats)
    Well hit me, Mr. Biggs (Crowd repeats)
    Pow Wow (Crowd repeats)
    G-L-O-B-E (Crowd repeats)
    The Soul Sonic Force
    You gotta rock it, pop it, cause it's the century
    There is such a place that creates such a melody
    Our world is but a land of a master jam, get up and dance
    It's time to chase your dreams
    Up out your seats, make your body sway
    Socialize, get down, let your soul lead the way
    Shake it now, go ladies, it's a livin' dream
    Love Life Live
    Zih Zih Zih Zih Zih (ad lib)
    Everybody say, rock it, don't stop it (Crowd repeats)
    Everybody say, shockin' and clockin' (Crowd repeats)
    Everybody say, ichi ni san shi (Crowd repeats)
    Say, Planet Rock (Crowd repeats)
    It's the sure shot (Crowd repeats) (x2)
    So twist and turn, then you let your slide n' glide
    You got the body rock and pop, bounce and pounce
    So hit me
    Just taste the funk and hit me
    Just get on down and hit me
    Bambaataa's gettin' so funky, now hit me
    Every piece of the world
    Rate the message of our words
    All men, women, boys, and girls, hey our Planet Rock is superb
    Get on it
    You got the groove, move (ad lib)
    Feel the groove - feel it
    Do what ya want but ya know ya got to be cool and boogie
    Out on the floor, go down
    Bring it low
    Close to the ground
    Everybody just rock it, don't stop it, gotta rock it
    Don't stop
    Keep tickin' and tockin'
    Work it all around the clock
    Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
    Gotta rock it, don't stop (repeats)

      They was not doing nothing new when it came to stage presence.... Evidence of preexisting examples exits. Now as for the utilization of dancers talent in that respect at that time became huge. So what's left?.... Lyrics and instrumentals! 75% of the times the beats carry the song! The other 30% lyrics!........ Now.
      Knowing this all i can do is appreciate the organizers! Work done on stage and to promote the music.
      Nothing new under the Sun! It's about promoting, creating a certain vibe and rolling it out.

      ​@@stevewallis661 Here is what it says within the community. Quote "Afrika Bambaataa's “Planet Rock,” the pioneering 1982 single that helped give birth to hip-hop and electro, was based on two Kraftwerk songs, but it didn't technically sample either of them. Instead, Bambaataa and producer Arthur Baker recreated the synthesizer melody and drum-machine patterns themselves." The idea might have come from Kraftwerk, dont get me wrong I am a huge Kraftwerk fan, but the actual Beat was reinvented. Kraftwerk is legendary but Planet Rock as a song is the mother of all electronic Hip hop beats.

It's like we all were just on the same page. No1 laughed at you if you tried to break or pop and couldn't people were willing to teach you I remember cruising on the boulevard and back then we could just jump in anybody's car and be like give us a ride and we'd go up and down the strip you know with some stranger because he or she had a bad ass low rider. never had to worry about them killing us I mean don't get me wrong there was weirdos out there yeah but it was just a whole different type of brotherly love You're all just kind of on the same page it was fun and it'll never be another era like it ever in life it's something that will go down in history

I saw it all back in the day at the clubs like The Roxie's, The Funhouse, Gotham's West, Infernos, Danceteria, Bond's International, The Peppermint Lounge, The Roof Top, Roseland, First Class in the Bronx etc. People were animals back then as they are now, just take a look at the 2020 riots for a huge example of there savage behavior, but that is just a prelude of things to come, a fucking movie trailer. 2022 will be a very interesting year.

      Sorry to burst ya'll bubble but hip hop is dead. I too was once in denial but I came out of it. When Hip Hop was established in the early 80's (not 70's because it wasnt established then) one of the goals was to steer the youth away from gang culture. Rap music today is dominated by gang culture(notice I said "rap music" because thats what we have now, Hip Hop is non existent). And thats just one example. I can give a list of reasons why Hip Hop is dead. When we watch old school videos like this all we are doing is reminiscing on when it was alive.

    Many people believe that techno music is from Europe but the fact is that first DJs, using two vinyl decks, scratching and sampling electronic sounds was done in the 70's in the city of Chicago, to be most specific from the club there that was called at the time the Warehouse, from which "house music" name originated. House music then travelled to Detroit and when it reached New York city, house music evolved into what we know today as techno music. A part of black heritage not many people know about.
