Americans, Australians, 'Aussies,' What!?! all, reminiscing and singing to their favorite melodious tunes.

#React~ some Rick James & TeenaMarie
Yup...Rick & Teena Fire & Desire...a must hear.
Amen! God's blessing them abundantly for being kind young men and bringing people together. They bring a lot of joy to many. Great job, Tim and Fred!
So well said!!! Its been one of the brightest spots for me this year. You guys have truly made a difference 🥰
Edit: yes to Teena Marie!!!!
@@Opal_jen_X Wow! Thank You! We're all proud of the Twins & their younger Bro` #DomDolla 219... A bunch of ~Honoray aunts, uncles, cousins, etc
B'Blessed!💞
This is a wonderful message and I wholeheartedly agree. Love you Tim & Fred ❤️. Keep up your great program.
This is his daughter (Ty James) thanks for reacting to my father music and thanks for the support I really appreciate it!
For real?
Oh Ty loved your Dad's music!
We still jamming to your dad to this day love your dad this was my theme song lol
Ty, your father was AMAZING.
We are very blessed to have his music.
You must listen to Cameo: Word Up
Thank you for entertaining us. We had great music back in the day there is more music to come. You have more music 🎶 to come.
Thanks for having an open mind. The music in the past is the best of the best. A whole lot more led Zeppelin. Rock music was built on that band. The song in my time of dying I can't even begin to describe this song just have to listen to it.
@@lisagraham2944 yes please ! I think they would like the beat. Also Brick House.
Absolutely!
I was thinking the same thing
I met Rick James back in the early 80's when he came into the club I was the head waitress at, Uncle Sam's in Buffalo, NY. Nice guy. Bought a drink, chilled for a bit. He gave me a $100 tip and left.
Nice
Lucky
Nice❗
Cool!
He was from the 716!!!
I will forever think of Rick James at that awards show saying "Its Rick James Bitch".. Loved him
Oh yes . . . It was the 2004 BET Awards, and only a week before his death. I was *done* that night, I tell ya'.
🤣🤣🤣💯💯💯‼️‼️
Raven Symone didn’t know who he was hahahah rightly so this was old music by then but we weren’t allowed to listen to him but we did anyways lol and we love all his music.
Me too, back in the day he was mesmerizing. Love me some Rick James.
Blows my mind how many of the artists you've listened to are no longer around. But you kids have been such a bright spot in such a tough year! Thanks from a very old, but hip lady, lol.
I know, I keep thinking that too ! It breaks my heart how many of these amazing singers have died, especially because so many died when they were so young !
Old Aussie women here, I have to agree. 🦄
I agree
@Mark Vestibule damn your life must be boring, ha! What a troll.
This grandma loves these kids lol. They are great 🎵😊✌
"He look like he a pimp, I ain't gonna lie." LOL!!! You guys are hilarious. :)
I LOL’d for real when Tim said that!! 😂🤣😂
The guys called it, first 5 seconds into the video. LOL
First thing they noticed and thought! Yeah, I had a major laugh at that.
When are we having the Chappel show watch party?
They are not wrong. Not wrong at all.
I'm an old white lady who's loved Rick James LOL 😆...remember cocaine is a hella of a drug!..hahaha
Me too
I hear ya, sista!
I forgot how wonderfully campy he was. Dave Chappelle did a great parody of him.
@@RyanBlackhawke ...IKR ..LOL..Dave Always cracked me up!..but yeah the Rick James was spot on 😆
I was 11 when I first heard Rick James..I love his music beautiful voice and talented muscian.
I’m sorry, but when I hear Rick James I immediately think of the Dave Chappelle Show “Hey Charlie Murphy!” 😂😂😂
Habitual line-stepper! 😂😂😂😂☠️
Same 😂
Lmbo me to
😅😂🤣
Sorry Charlie Murphy, I was having too much fun.
Super Freak was put to very good use in the movie “Little Miss Sunshine”. Great scene. 😁
Amy Fisher gotta watch that again....
Yes!! 🤣🤣🤣🙌
That was hilarious!!
That was so funny & Grandpa taught her the moves!
Made me laugh thinking about that scene😂 too funny
"I dont know if this is glitter or if its sweat." 🤣 Its the early 80s, baby!
BOTH! 😰❇️💎😂
😂😂😂
Glitter, sweat AND jheri curl.
Ok twins listen to The Gap Band "You dropped a bomb on me"
Was always my favorite to dance to in the 2000's at the bar. Love the old 80s R&B, some of the best dance music came out of that era.
Oh yeah!
OH YES!!!!!!!!!!
They did it!
@@BigDaddyMak aww man I wanna watch I wanna watch 😢😢😢
For a different Rick James vibe - “Fire and Desire” with Teena Marie ..... he actually had an amazing voice.
Baby making music...
Please please do this one!!!!
I just commented the same thing. Wish I would've seen this first 😊
Totally amazing voice. Ebony eyes, fire and desire, seventeen, You and I, Give it to me baby and the list goes on
Really showed his range, what a great song!
Lol...30 seconds in and they know Rick already...pimpalicipous...lol.
I legit laughed out loud! 🤣🤣🤣
With Rick James the question was always "Is that glitter, or is it cocaine?" It was more likely to be the latter.
The best answer is probably "yes" and "yes"!
It was glitter in this case. Lol
@eyeballin glitter, sweat, and coke
Every time I hear Rick James' name I instantly think Cocaine. Lol.
Okuuuur! To quote Rick James himself..... "Cocaine is a MOTHERFUCKER"
Here's some interesting facts about Rick James (James Ambrose Johnson, Jr. Born 2/1/1948)
1. Fantastic bass player
2. He was Melvin Franklin's cousin (a member of The Temptations). That's why that "Temptations sing!" was so important.
3. He used to be engaged to Teena Marie (try listening to her music too). For three weeks lol.
4. The bass line from "Superfreak" was used in "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer. Rick James was MAD because he wasn't listed as a sample and wanted to sue.
5. He was using some drugs- a song he wrote called "Mary Jane" was about his love for marijuana. It's in the movie Friday, when Chris Tucker (Smokey) was having fun while smoking weed on Craig's (Ice Cube) porch.
6. He spent some time in jail. Around 5 years. It got him off the drugs and he had a happy life and some children.
7. His last tour was with Teena Marie. They were recognized for singing their song "Fire and Desire" on the BET awards. He also quoted the famous Dave Chapelle line "I'm Rick James, b***h!" Unfortunately, he started having some health issues on tour that had to end early.
8. Rick James passed away on August 6, 2004 from a heart attack due to the drugs that were in his system over the years.
You left out why he was in jail, In 1991, James and his girlfriend Tanya Hijazi were accused of holding 24-year-old Frances Alley hostage for up to six days, tying her up, forcing her to perform sexual acts, and burning her legs and abdomen with the hot end of a crack cocaine pipe during a week-long cocaine binge. In 1993, while out on bail for that incident, James, under the influence of cocaine, assaulted music executive Mary Sauger at the St. James Club and Hotel in West Hollywood. Sauger claims she met James and Hijazi for a business meeting, but said the two then kidnapped and beat her over a 20-hour period. He was sentenced to 5 years in 1994 but only served 2. That was such a sad period in his life; the pain he caused those woman and others who grew up loving his funk now having to compartmentalize his music which lit up our generation from the damage he caused those woman due to his drug use.
@@elyssaberger5901 "Cocaine is a helluva drug" Rick James
@A S was AWOL from the military and escaped 2 Canada and I have his autobiography
Jocelyn H He's buried in Buffalo in a beautiful cemetery,
2 bad the music copyright laws aren't retroactive because a judge would've made Hammer pay RJ for the $$ earned from the song which was a great big hit for Hammer, + his own family members could surely benefit like Marvin Gaye's did🤔James Brown is the most sampled artist
I watched this thinking, "How can they not know who Rick James is? Didn't they see those Dave Chappelle skits?" Then I remembered that Chappelle's Show has been off the air for 16 years and I felt very, very old.
Twins - check out Dave Chappelle’s impersonations of Rick James.
Lmao F**k yo couch 😂😂😂
R.I.P Rick James and Charlie Murphy 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm Rick James BITCH.....lol
Came here to say this.
Prince too, true story (Prince himself confirmed it)!
"I think I'm bleeding from my chest"
"Eff yo couch !!"
This is the backing track to MC Hammer’s “Can’t Touch This”, you guys did a reaction to recently...
They also have played Under Pressure by Queen and Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice and didn't realize it either.
One of them actually said "I haven't heard anything like this before!" They did MC Hammer a few weeks ago! How could they not recognize it's the same sample? I find it also hard to believe they've never seen the Rick James skit from the Chappelle show.
@@ryanrauber5210 Aren't they 20 yrs old? Isn't Chappelle Show at least 15 years ago? They would have been 5 watching Chappelle show.
It takes repetition to catch overdubbed songs. There’s many songs I still don’t realize are remakes and borrowed. Many times artists cross genres to borrow backing songs. Off the top of my head I’m thinking Fugees/Enya.
@@jesushateswood I think they're familiar with youtube.
KC and the Sunshine Band “Get Down Tonight” and “Boogie Shoes”
Angela Barnes yess!! I’ve been requesting Get Down Tonight and Boogie Man many times, so we’re on the same page.
Good stuff right there!
Now that’s some dance music
Teena Marie “I Need Your Lovin’” or “Square Biz”!! They are both exceptional!
Shiiiiiiit anything by #TeenaMarie hits hard💯💯💯
Also: "Lovergirl". Lady T dances and rocks that guitar!
@@DaddyTre65 ...she's responsible for Lenny Kravitz's learning 2 play🎸& song writing skills whenever he'd run away from home frfr
"Ey, he looks like he's a pimp, though"
Oh. You noticed. xD
When he sings "Temptations Sing" and you see that old group for a second, that was the Temptations, one of them was Rick James uncle.
I didn't know his uncle was a Temptation.
Just read that a member of the Temptations just died from Covid. RIP Bruce Williamson
@@AskArlene The Temptations were formed 60 years ago. The gentlemen who died was 49. There has been a revolving door of people coming in and out of the group that have nothing to do with the original legacy. Only one original Temptation member still alive.
@@adc2327 thanks. I knew he wasn't an original member but don't know much history of the band
@@adc2327 The one original member left chose the young man to be a part of the group. He may not have been an original Temp, but he was a member. RIP
I love Rick's vocal phrasing in this.. especially the, ".. when I get there she's got incense, wine and candles.. it's such a freaky scene!" 😅 This song is such a funky jam. Love it! ♥️
And after all these years I was hearing those words wrong. I always thought he was saying "when I get there she's got intertwine and candles " that sounds more like something freaky Rick would say 😏
.
This song is about Linda Blair!
The dancer with long hair, used to dance on Soul Train. She was also in a few Michael Jackson videos. Her name is Cheryl Song
I danced in the clubs to this almost 40 years ago!! 😎
In Chamin de fer flare leg pants, tube top and platform shoes. Yep!
Shhhhh! Don't tell them how old we really are!
@@staceymavilia9510 Ha ha, I had everything except the tube top. What were we thinking with those pants, LOL!!
OMG I'm not THAT old am I???
Ok I’m dying at their reaction to Rick James. ‘He looks like a pimp!” He says. And and nearly falling out my chair with laughter, I’m thinking “Yep!” But They’re not saying anything that Slick Rick himself didn’t boast about in various media outlets when he was living. Carry on! Love these two young men! 😂😂😂
That cracked me up too!!
I love them also, but I’m amazed that there are so many songs they haven’t listened to. My twin boys have musical tastes that are extreme opposite. One is a metal head the other is into rap... but they both dabble all over the music spectrum from old country to 70s. These boys have been sheltered musically lol. Still love their reactions. ❤️
Stephanie West I thought the same thing. But the I remembered they mention in one the videos that they grew up only listening to gospel music and rap So it sound like they ay have grew up listening to gospel in their home. And perhaps as they got older (like in their teens), they listened to rap. I do identify, because when I grew up, all my mom played was jazz and the blues. Then when I was a young teenager, I used to sleep over at my girlfriends house, and we’d listen to R&B on the radio. then when my parents moved from Compton, CA to Anaheim, CA (from going to school with majority black school to all white school), guess what I started listening to? Rock, Heavy Metal and Surfer (Beach Boys) music! As I grew into adulthood, I started listening to all kinds of music, including Country and Classical. Now in addition to loving so many genres of music, my favorite is gospel and Contemporary Christian! ❤️
I love these two they had me on the floor with that to.
Jaquetta Akins that’s what I kind of figured. It’s funny when my son’s Hispanic friend and him start listening to 50s Doo-Wops after hitting me with 2 hours of rap. lol. Speaking of Doo-Wop music of the 50’s maybe we need to request them to critique someone of that era.
Teena Marie is deserving of your next Women's Wednesday. You will not be disappointed. Fire and Desire with Rick James. Square Biz.
WOMENS ✊✊WED & 🙌🙌 FOR TEENA MARIE ❤️ & RICK JAMES 💜🎵🎵🎵💃
Yes!!! You have to hear that song
Personally I love ANYTHING by Ms Teena Marie; I can't love again, Square Biz,Oooo La La La,If I were a Bell,Out on a Limb,Deja Vu, and everything else and she's definitely gone 2 soon🤩🎶💯
🎶Lover girl🎶
Square biz 🔥
Please listen to Billy Idol, "White Wedding", "Rebel Yell" and "Eyes Without a Face". I didn't know where to request this and want to see your reactions.
I only discovered Eyes without a face in the last few years. Love it.
@@mikeyplondon I loved Billy Idol, back in the day and still love listening to his music. So, many memories. Want to see their reactions, so badly!!!
Yes, please, Billy Idol’s “White Wedding” and “Rebel Yell”!
Billy Idol "To Be A Lover"!!!!!! I want to hear what y'all have to say about this bad ass song!!!!!
The original version is an older reggae song by George Faith.
The Asian American dancer with the long hair was a Soul Train Dancer. She’s a great dancer! 💃
TerpJ H She was always on the Soul Train Line.
Omg i remember her
Yes! 1st I remember was Soul Train dancer!! Now that would be something to see again!
They don't know what Soul Train is. Lol
she was on some "do you recognize me" show a few years ago and i recognized her instantly.
Ok, this is the second time today you guys made me laugh out loud “don’t bring her home to your momma” 😂 😂 yaaaas.
I remember walking around the house singing this at 7 years old (not having a clue what it meant) and my mom freaking out 😂
"Never heard of him before" LOL! I can just magine how old that makes those of you in your mid to late 40's feel.😁😁😁
50's!!!
Maryjane by Rick James most people thought he was talking about a girl but it was talking about getting high smoking weed!
Indeed 😊💙💙🙏🙏🙏
Didn't he produce the Mary Jane Girls -"My House"?
Ever see the movie Friday with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker? They play that song in that movie while smoking. Love that movie!
We KNEW Rick was referring to weed. Really!? What else could he be talking about, but getting high. 🤣🤣
What are you talking about? We all knew!
Dying laughing "He look like a pimp! Hey! Hey! Go work my corner!" LOL
For the record, Rick James came before M.C. Hammer. Hammer pilfered this tune.
And payed for it .$$$$
Rick was EVERYTHING in the R&B culture. He made a whole song about marijuana called "Mary Jane" - LOL at your description of him as a pimp. He portrayed himself as quite the ladies man! Hope you all are loving your new home!
I don't think I ever NOT danced to this back in the day. Even if it was by myself... oh well.
Put it on TODAY at a BBQ or party and see what happens LOL
Keeper116 Facts! LOL
I have always loved that song! Something similar: try Wild Cherry Play That Funky Music White Boy
Absolutely ! YES, Fred & Tim .... DO chk out “Play That Funky Music, White Boy” by Wild Cherry ! 1st song I thought of 4 u to hear while enjoying you all listening to Buffalo’s Own , Rick James !! ( my hometown, toooo !). But then I thought ya HOTTA hear, “Spill The Wine, Take That Girl” by Eric Burdon & War ! Also, “Spirit In The Sky”, by Norman Greenbaum ! Trippy ! As is Spill The Wine ! Cheers, Mates ! Liz in Buffalo
Gotta hear *
Ok, y’all should react to Eddie Murphy’s “Party All the Time”
Try Sailing by Styx
Strange song
Omg yes!
They should’ve followed with Can’t Touch This
And with some of the Soul Train dancers! What an awesome memory!!
Try "Jungle Love" Morris Day and the Time.
Yup
You mean the song that Uptown Funk ripped off?
Jeffrey Jameson bye
Mari Wilson ??
Yes a must!!!!
How about Brick House by the Commodores.
YES ! Good one ! And Shining Star by Earth Wind & Fire !
Yes...I suggested a while back. Maybe they’ll pick up on yours. Great group and great song!
Literally ANYTHING by the Commodores!
They did it
@@chiknpatty Oh! Thanks. I'll go find it. :-)
RICK JAMES...'GIVE IT TO ME BABY"
Carwash (the song) Rose Royce
Carwash the movie, hilarious.
Yes.
👍
The WHOLE ROSE ROYCE ALBUM!!!
Great suggestion!
Yes!!! Do Car Wash next! Great idea. I forgot about that one.
Oh I LOVE some Rick James especially when he sang with the great Teena Marie. LOL he did look "Pimpish" and he also dated the actress Linda Blair.. The late, great Rick James. Some great "Old School" FUNK! Little tid bit, the Asian woman with the long hair in a pink top use to dance on Soul Train.
Love the info. Thank you
Yes, I also remember that Linda Blair got an abortion without Rick James' knowledge.
@@musicsansnotes Your very welcome.. :-)
@@dunhill1 Now THAT I did not know, how sad..
I always laughed that incense, wine and candles were considered a 'freaky scene".
Right? Come on.
@@lalizarde It should be handcuffs, swings and mirrored ceilings, or something
@@lestranged That's about as freaky as a bubble bath. Or a night in with a good book.
My husband saw Rick James sing the Star Spangled Banner, in the late 90s, at a Texas Rangers game. He was gobsmacked by how great a rendition it was.
And:
Rick James and Neil Young were in a band together before they both hit it big.
WOW I definitely haven't heard that
That's an odd couple
You guys know this song. This was sampled and used in MC Hammer's - "U Can't Touch This" that you guys reacted to in another video.
I came here to point that out too, lol!
I came here to leave this comment too 😊
Exactly... Let's hope they link-up the connection...🤔😆
Sampled? it was a complete rip off
I play my son the sample usage and the original back to back and he still rarely notices... I knew they wouldn't catch it. lol
Rick James was dope AF back on the day!
@High Definition He was a drug addict he beatup on everybody including his drug dealer, RJ was outta control....lol
Does dope mean insane? 😁
@@swamp5050 He sure did, his songs were good though....
@Nobody Smith yes I know what dope means. It was sarcastic
Rick and his wife/girlfriend were accused of holding another woman against her will for their sexual favors. They were charged with sexual assault and torture (she was burned by/with a crack pipe).
They reviewed MC Hammer’s “Can’t Touch This” and didn’t recognize the tune he pulled from Super Freak?
I think the flood of new beats and melodies is too overwhelming for them to have made the connection. But I was also hoping they would have caught it :(
Same thing happened when they watched “Ice Ice Baby”, then “Under Pressure”.
Probably the two most iconic uses of sampling an existing song
They're just not even familiar with the original artist and sampled from but how did Hammer get away from not paying Rick James yet Vanilla Ice got sued by David Bowie??
@@conniemoore1786 Hammer told you how in 🎶Pray🎶. 😉
@@conniemoore1786 Rick James is actually credited as a writer on can’t touch this, meaning he made a shitload of royalties from it lol
Twinsthenewtrend: Not gonna lie, never heard of you, man...
Me: You won't forget Rick James after this song. ;) It's pretty unforgettable. LOL.
The Commadors..."Brick House" similar type of music...a must play at weddings. Lol
Don't forget the Chicken Dance & Hokey Pokey!! 😂😂 Please Stay Safe and Healthy Everyone. 🌷✌🌷
One of my favorites!
She's mighty-mighty - lettin' it ALL hang out! ;)
Yeah used to dance to that before I got to old. I used to be fun.
Donna Hanan agree and white cherry play that funky music!!!
That Asian woman with the pink top in used to dance on Soul Train! Her famous move was on high kick and a flick of her long hair!
"Give it to me baby" is one of his greats.
Roller skating on Friday nights to this music... wow, bringing back the memories.
Love this song!
Please play "Sledge Hammer" by Peter Gabriel! 🔨😍🙏😁👌🏼
Anything from Peter as a matter of fact !
Salisbury Hill would make for a pretty interesting reaction video.
Seriously, you have to listen to his girlfriend at that time Teena Marie. Preferably the first 3 albums. And their duet Fire and Desire is fantastic.
qbear17 I second that!
Loooooved Teena Marie! RIP
Fire and desire for sure!!!
I agree 💯. They need to check out that song
@@micheleemery265 Yes!! She was my favorite!!!
This song never gets old and nobody can sit still when this jam on!
Try listening to johnny kemp "just got paid"
He did a lot with Tina Marie, and helped Eddie Murphy have a hit record.
Party All The Time!! Yes Eddie Murphy! Give it a listen!
She likes to party all the time lol
The Charlie Murphy RUclips videos about Rick James and Prince are great!
@@tjfillingham5556 It's Teena Marie. Respect the legend.
"Fire and Desire" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rick James is just one of the reasons, I love being black.
I love ❤️ that! He was the coolest.
Meee too bro and i was born🎼🎤🎺💫🔥🍷🍺🍻🎻🎹🎶🎵🎼white 1972

I hear that makes me wish i was black.
@@kcs69sign , better than being a troll on RUclips.
Try Rick James’ “Fire and Desire” duet with Teena Marie
listen to Give it to me Baby--Rick James had one of the best horn sections of the time!
The Chapelle Show has a great bit about Rick James, as told by Charlie Murphy
CHARLIE MURPHY 👊
@@chrisnorden8043 what did the 5 fingers say to face? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I'm Rick James, bleep!!!"
@@leightumlin3534 the milks gone bad
You would like Cameo "Word Up" and "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix Alot.
Yes yes yes to all of those!!!
Word up yes the other 👎
Yasssss...gotta react to Baby Got Back
There is a video on you tube of sir-mix-a-lot performing baby got back to a full symphony orchestra!!!! IMPRESSIVE
Now, listen to to Rick James flip the script with Tina Marie singing Fire and Desire.
I work in a dentist office, when this comes on, I will grab all the charts to put away so I can boogie down the hallway. I LOVED this when I was a kid and it came on MTV. Classic!
BET awards he told ol girl “I’m Rick James B!” 🤣
Then Dave Chappelle took it and ran! Every time I think of RJ I think of that skit. LOL
Cindy Hill I had to watch the skits after I made this comment. Hilarious.
Audra Duck ......I had a t-shirt for a long time that had that on the front! 😂😂😂It was given as a joke and I didn’t wear it outside the house but I loved that shirt! About as much as my XXXL RELAX shirt from the 80’s! 🤣
I’ll never forget it😂😂😂. He said “ and to the girl in the back never mind who you thought I was I’m Rick James BITCH”. Monique then said “Only on BET baby”
Rick James & Teena Marie, Fire and Desire, a must listen
This was a classic Disco dancing song. We were wild back in the 70s dancing like crazy to this song. Loved him and Tina Marie together. Wild song...
The Asian girl was a feature dancer every weekend on the SOUL TRAIN. She was one of my favorites to learn dance moves from.
Awww yes!! I'm here early!!! I can't wait for this one!
If you guys want a laugh, watch any of the Chapelle Show skits with Rick James telling stories. They're hilarious!
“I’m Rick James bitch!” 😆
Came here to say this, I can’t believe they’ve never heard anyone say “I’m Rick James Bitch!” 😂😂
Charlie Murphy!!
Agreed! 😂
And this is where “F yo couch!” Came from. 🤣
Definitely react to Charlie Murphy's skits about Rick James.
Please!
Yesssss!!! I was thinking the same thing. Hilarious!
They are the best. I got to meet Micki Free last year and so also want to add they should watch the one with Charlie Murphy and Prince. Micki said that story is exactly as it happened
.....those skits were hilarious!
Omg yes.
Rick James! The man is a legend & one of the coolest to walk the planet! Great musician..great inspiration & all around bad ass! There will never be another Rick!
“He kinda looks like a pimp”. Haha! I just love your funny reactions to these classic songs!
Did you know that MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" sampled this track?
No and they played it on here a few weeks ago. They also have played Under Pressure by Queen and Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice and didn't realize it either.
I didnt hear it. I missed something??
@@i.m.7710 Why don't you listen to BOTH tracks and get back to us.
@@tmofog right?! Literally the first few seconds is you cant touch this. I started singing it as soon as it started even tho it was the wrong song 😂
Yes definitely I kept singing can’t touch this
Any of the 80’s babies singing “can’t touch this?” No... Just me??? 🤦🏾♀️🤣😂🤣😂
You guys ought to go back and rewatch MC Hammer's "Can't Touch This" now that you know where the beat was sampled from!
Kristin Pingree I’m 40... I know both songs... I was just saying that every time I hear “super freak” I also sing “can’t touch this” 🤣😂🤣
Crotique’s C - Sorry, I didn't mean you.😁 I meant the twins.😁
90s baby singing it lol
Yep, I was.
These two are hilarious! Dancing in the club, in the bar... fun and funky :)
He was on the New Year's Show when I was 16..1983..so excited! He was a dirty bad boy..and we all loved it!
Need to check out Eddie Murphy and Rick James collaboration Party all the Time!
Got to check out The Gap Band... " Burn Rubber"
You'll be dancing with that too
bflylady 1957 yes! I love The Gap Band!!
Burn Rubber- my favorite college song!
And...You Dropped A Bomb On Me
And early in the morning
Hard to pick just one! I love all of those! Can't go wrong with any of those! Need to just do a set! I am 63 and turned my son on to them.... along with classic rock of course. he has the "funk" gene jike his mama!
When picking out songs for the DJ to play at his wedding reception he wanted the dance music from my time
Some of the greatest music of all time. You can't beat the songs from back in the day.
Y'all are just so refreshing!! I am a 60 yr old white woman, but you two have brought the music I listened to back in the day BACK into my life. Sometimes, while listening and watching I've actually had an emotional moment that included tears because the song you were playing brought back significant people who were in my life and significant times when my life may have been falling apart back then or even looking up. When you get a lot older, the same will happen to you. Music is a playlist of our lives......everything we did while those songs were hits comes flooding back like it was yesterday and all it takes is a song you are playing & there I am, 40 yrs ago, happy, sad and even grief at missing those who are no longer with me.
I notice there are a lot of people out there doing what you are doing & I keep scrolling because I've seen the best & the freshest.....the first.....the TWINS. There are many who are copy cats. They are trying to ride your coat tails!!
I am disabled with a 29 yr old disabled son and you bring so much to us that has made our days brighter, & sometimes has us cracking up!
PLEASE KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!! IT GOES BEYOND SAMPLING MUSIC.....IT PUTS A SMILE ON OUR FACES, IT BRINGS A TREASURED MEMORY BACK TO OUR MINDS & HEARTS WHEN SOMETIMES MY MEMORY IS NOT SO GOOD ANYMORE. IT'S NOT JUST ENTERTAINMENT......YOU HELP RESTORE WHAT MANY OF US HAVE LOST SIMPLY THRU THE YEARS THAT HAVE GONE BY. YOU BOTH ARE A BLESSING. I WISH & PRAY THAT YOUR LIVES PROSPER FAR BEYOND YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND I KNOW IF Y'ALL HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!
Rick James was dope! And I hear he was quite freaky. LOL!! Short story: years ago I was at a concert at Radio City Music Hall in NYC; I was sitting in an upper balcony. To my surprise Rick James was sitting behind me and someone pointed out he was there and the women went wild. It got so bad that his people had to pick him up and carry him out of that balcony. I shall never forget it. May Rick rest in Paradise.
Unfortunately for Rick, more cokesman than cocksman.... Much as I enjoyed hanging out with him, that was the reality.
I remember when this came out. I was in grade 8 and we listened to it over and over. This takes me back.🎵💖🎵❤️
I believe Mr. James is a very underrated bassist, composer, and vocalist. His voice in Fire and Ice with Teena Marie put him on my short list of favorite vocalists of all time. In addition to, a duet he did in the 80s with Smokey Robinsin... I can't remember the name of it...I ADORE the part after Smokey finishes a solo part then Rick continues with his part.... the first couple of stanzas, he perfectly mimicked Smokey's voice.
Watch the movie “ Little Miss Sunshine” for a repeat of this. TRUST ME, you will laugh until you pass out when you hear how this song is used in it. I laugh just thinking about it!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yesssss!!!
🤣😂😂 the response was clearly classic
Love that movie! Frikken hilarrrrious !
Absolutely the best use of this song EVER!!!
Watch it!!
You remember, "Can't Touch This" by Hammer? He sampled this song. Also, you remember "I'm Rick James, bitch!" from Chappelle Show?
The Chappelle Show was in 2004 and these young twins were probably born that year or later; so it's very likely they don't remember any of those skits. LOL. and MC Hammer hit the scene way back in the early 90's. You're too funny.
@@dunhill1 Since they don't show reruns all the time
@@dunhill1 Also, they did a reaction to Hammer...that's why I mentioned him.
@@FrankBishop You are correct. Comedy Central does not rerun the show. The twins would have to buy the DVDs or pay for the episodes on Hulu. This is why they don't remember the show.
@@dunhill1 Comedy Central DOES replay CS...it was on just a few days ago.

Rick James is such a legend.... I hope you and your family are loving your new home 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
It's good to know that the young people are grooving to the music that we grew up listening too back in the day. It's fun just hearing them talk about what they think about the music of yesteryear.
