This track was so hooky; from the horn arrangement to the 'Woohah'!!! This wasn't just a great Hip Hop record, it was simply a great record period. Respect and RIP to Henry 'Big Bank Hank' Jackson.
When my 53 yr old ass hears this I'm transported back to a NYC street corner wearing my red Adidas track suit with my shell tops with the fat red laces (cos u already know it all had to match) standing in a b-boy stance. Best days ever! #FRESH ☺

I'm 55 and keepin' it live! I remember this song echoing off the houses as we walked by carrying the over-sized, 12 battery takin' boom box! I think that's why my right arm is bigger than my left to this day!
That's a real good excuse 😉 for your right arm being bigger than the left 😁😆. Real party music and a real throw back!!! Those days are forever with us. I'm 53 l will be 54 in 13 dayz
Hey bro, four years after your comment I’m now 58, and I memorized this entire rap when it came out during my senior year in high school. We used to play it during our track meets and it lit a fire in us!!
Also, after 40 years, I finally know what Big Bank Hank was saying in his interlude: “See it’s up my back, it’s around my neck *hoohah* got you all in check.” All the time before, I thought he was saying: “She had sucked my back it’s around my neck.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s 11/6 2020 I’m 53 and still listening to good rap. Reminds me of high school when this stuff first came out and we was poppin and lockin. Good times good times
I think that some props should also go out to Alabama group 7th Wonder for their song ”Daisy Lady”, which is creating the hook that this gem is resting on. Which also explains the title. Enjoy... czcams.com/video/zz1t7Spzzkc/video.html
I’m 57 and every time I hear this song(FAVORITE by Sugarhill Gang)my mind instantly goes back to Christmas 1980. I was 14 with my sister/aunt and friend Vernell.After a visit with my grandmother we were headed back to DC on the bus with a boombox I got from my grandma for Christmas………. Let’s just say this song came on and we were the ONLY THREE on that LONG ride since it was just 1 bus that ran every TWO hours so basically a “round trip” and we got on it cuz we were soooo COLD. My sister/aunt and I were dancing up and down the aisle to this having a BALL 🎉🥳💃🏽💃🏽and the bus driver let us while he laughed and just drove that A12…the GOOD OLE DAYS that I MISS so bad. R.I.E.P Eileen and Vernell 🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊️🕊️♥️❣️♥️

I remember coming out of the club or a party ringing wet from dancing from the time I went in the door, I never sat down because Sugar Hill, Furious 5, Grandmaster flash and all the rap songs we could rap with and understand, they not rapping about their guns , some girl they calling a bitch or Hoe or sucking on them and no type of rhythm or dance beat today they are jumping up and down like they in aroebic class or scoping out some dude they either gonna rob or kill them before the night is over I loved the era of time when I was growing up partying....
I stayed up half the night trying to hum this song i to sound hound to see if it would bring it up. But I finally found it this morning. Use to Jam skate to this and have boogie contests at the rink in the late 80s! Im 46 ahhh the memories

Where does the synth trumpet sample come from? Is it original?
"everybody clap your hands"
And everyone obeyed and clapped their hands
Impossible to not dance when this comes on, timeless intergalactic hit.
Not in clouds to want to dance
Get ready for what you see is what you get / and you ain't seen nothin' yet
In all honesty, this is what I’m taking to mars
Love this song.
Shylah B. Me to baby girl by the way your pretty
Still the best riff / hook in any rap track, ever.

I'm 47, so I missed their heyday, but I still love it too. This is my favorite Sugar Hill Gang joint, for sure.
Clap your hands everybody
And everybody just clap your hands
Ahh fly girls, clap your hands
Ahh fly guys, clap your hands
Well if you're feeling alright and you think you're on
Ah-somebody let me know
Well everybody in the place, put a whistle in your face

I said ah, hip-hop, ah thanks a lot
Ah c'mon everybody gimme whatcha got

Want all you people, to clap your hands
Tonight we're gon-na, scream and shout

Some-body! (SOME-BODY!) Now you know you're hot
Ah see I met this girl and I said to her, "Honey

Turned around, didn't mean no harm
I knocked her out, with my vicious charm
I said, "No no baby it's not like that
Ya see I'm all about makin' that cold cold cash"
Started jivin' around, started messin' wit her head
And next thing I know, she wanted to go to *whistle*
But to turn me on, you got to be the best
'Cause I'm the Master G, I don't take no mess
Like T-N-T, I'm dynamite
Ya see I rock your body to the early light
And when you wake up in the morning you'll see I'm gone
And check it out girl, you're all alone
'Cause you just been hit by the Capricorn King
I rocked you gentle, I rocked you/me
I rocked you in and I rocked you out
You made me scream but I made you shout *whistle*
Go dang diddy dang di-dang di-dang diggy diggy
Dang diddy dang di-dang di-dang diggy diggy
See it's up my back, it's around my neck

Ah let's make this party the real Cold Crush
Let's scream, and let's shout
Ah let's turn this function out
and keep keep it on, but you don't quit
Let's make the party the sure *whistle*
Once upon a time not long ago
everybody had on their radio
And then the fella came on with a groovy noise
to put the wiggle in the women and girls and boys
The word got around about three cool cats
who put the foot, BACK, in the pack
And let me tell you party people just who we be
With the help of Big Bank and the Master G
So get up
Throw down
We're funkward bound
Hey the Sugarhill Gang is in your town
Now baby doll
And all you daddy-o's
You better get ready to move your toes
So get up
Throw down
We're funkward bound

And you ain't seen nothin' yet
I don't think I'm bad don't box in no karate
Just an MC to put the boogie in your body

When I first heard this song back in 1987 that is when my love affair with hip hop started.
This track is 🔥!
Oh hell yeah
Representing!! Roselle New Jersey!!!
I remember coming out of the club or a party ringing wet from dancing from the time I went in the door, I never sat down because Sugar Hill, Furious 5, Grandmaster flash and all the rap songs we could rap with and understand, they not rapping about their guns , some girl they calling a bitch or Hoe or sucking on them and no type of rhythm or dance beat today they are jumping up and down like they in aroebic class or scoping out some dude they either gonna rob or kill them before the night is over I loved the era of time when I was growing up partying....
This joint was 🔥 back then and still 🔥 in the present. 💯
And here I am in 2021, 59 years old, still grooving to this as we did in college!
Old school in the house. Johnston high school . Go Rams .Texas class of 81

This was the music I would blast over and over in my room, and my moms will yell at me telling me to turn that shit down. the start of real hip hop.
Old Skool never dies
Black Shadow word......never ever. This banger is the shhhh.

One of the best time of our time. Not the greatest but the best. Who can beat that. Bring it on.
When a DJ drops this on the club....all i can say for me is.....No dancefloor is safe.
