I'm about to be 55 white female family from Brooklyn but I was born and raised in Jersey City🎉and Brooklyn double dutch,music 🎶 and dancing was my life!!!!
It's almost criminal that Rob Base hasn't been asked to perform this during a Super Bowl Half Time Show - There's no way this song wouldn't have people out of their seats!
No Cursing, No violence, No guns, No disrespecting or degrading women.. you can’t help but bust a move listening to this joint.. BRING BACK THE REAL MUSIC!!!
Most of my friends at school were Metallers in the eighties but still loved this too. I couldn't understand the appeal of proper rock music back then but I love that now too.
D. Im 54. And these were the friggin best days of my life. Studio 54. Limelight. Romeo n juliettes. Funhouse. Bensonhurst brooklyn NY. Yea baby. Nothing will beat the 80s
A big clubber in Germany in the 80s. A German DJ asked me to use my knowledge of American club music to buy and bring him what I thought his club clientele might like. The first song I brought him was this. He put this on and you would have thought someone threw money on to the dance floor: The place just went nuts. The 80s: _Lived 'em. Loved 'em. Miss 'em._
I remember in high school a friend popped in a cassette tape and said check this out! I loved it ...48 years old and my neighbors are hearing this now.. still love it...
Hell yes!! You are my age and I love this song still too!!! I used to go to the club on the weekends and dance my ass off!!! Lol those was the stress free day's, no real worries, and I didn't have my Son's back then! LOL
@@vanessafowler9652 oh yeah I see, time only flies when you having a lot of fun. I feel a good foundation with open communication and mutual respect can withstand anything. I would like to be friends if it’s ok by you.
This song deserves huge speakers in the trunk of your car no matter how old you are!! Just play it every once in a while!!😅!! I'm old enough to remember when this came out. Those were GREAT years for dance music!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Being 48, I was 16 when we were jamming to this song. No cell phones or social media. No distractions. Just good music, a keg of beer, and good friends.
Richard Oki I know how massive this song was and still sounds great. I was in my teens when this was first played. And yes I’m still playing this video ✌️👍🤪
I'm 66-years old, and this is one of the songs I've chosen for my Retirement Party! I've been listening to it since it's inception, and it never gets old, only better!
@@user-hr3di5od3n, your judging current music by what's offered by Top 40 radio only shows that you're very ignorant about current music and are just a fool trapped in the past.
You think anything Eminem did can come even close to this classic?, I cringe when brothers say he's in a top ten, 99% of Em's music is garbage, glad Snoop exposed the mediocrecy
in Feb 1992, I watched in awe as a completely empty dance floor become instantly packed with at least 200 people when this beat dropped .the only song on the planet that will absolutely get every human being rump shaking in the blink of an eye.
Same thing back in the mid 90s at a Filipino club called Manila Chef in Bremerton, Washington. When this jam started, all of the girls got on the floor
Maybe the first song we learned all the words to! 🎤 This was back in the day before you could Google lyrics. Oh, no - you just learned the words from playing the song over and over and over. 😎
Yes Sir, Them days are long gone, back in my school during these days, it wasn't about the color of your skin, how you looked or dressed, it was about having a good time, I can honestly say that I don't remember no one judging people on the way they looked, especially a person's skin color.. #Facts.... Baltimore Md. In the late 80's, 90's and the 2000's on up was a mixed neighbor and everyone pretty much got along..
I miss those days when EVERYTHING was BIGGER! People were poorer, but that's where SO MANY GREAT bands and musicians were birthed. I remember singing with my best black girlfriend, as I'm white, and we sang all their songs, all day long, while we flipped burgers. And I remember EVERYBODY ROLLER SKATED to these 80's great, FUN, CLEAN, songs!🎉🎉❤❤🎉
So ironic and sad that both Biz and DJ EZ Rock both passed away, at YOUNG 50+, from a seizure and a stroke. They combined to make 1988 through 1991 super, super fun ! God-bless, rest in peace fellas!!
I was waiting to hear one name . Jesus I never heard it. For those that are listening god could mean anyone. When I hear the scripture quoted n his name noted I will perk up for sure. Heaven n earth will pass away but his word never will Mathew 24:35 Give them the Word Lyte n give them the true light!!! Prayers going out for salvation ,empowerment, growth, and redemption.🙏🙏🙏🔥
This song was huge, i was 12 when this came out, the period from 86-96 was unreal, rap helped me grow from a 10 year old kid to 20 year old man, I'm 47, April 16, 2023, 11:00 a.m
I hear u, Bro..... I'm 43, n rem this shit whn I was jus a bb, like 12 yo on the radio stayin Q 102, way back whn in Pa. It'll NvRRRR get old in my eyes either, hahahaha. Hope u have a Good night, my Friend. ❤
74 million isn't bad at all for a song that came out in the late 80s. Most hip hop from the decade barely cracks 20M if even That said this isn't even an official video posted by the official channel, the songs you see that have hundreds of millions were posted by official channels in the mid 2000s so they have a larger audience with more time to gain views
"I wanna rock right now, I'm Rob Base and I came to get down. I'm not internationally known, but I'm known to rock a microphone. Cause I get stupid, I mean outrageous. Stay away from me if you're contagious..." This joint still get play through my speakers in April 2020!
I was in the Army in Ft. Carson, CO, when this dropped and back then we were in the clubs on post and off post 5-6 nites a week. And I swear no other song filled the dance floor more than this one! When that first part would come on and say, "Right about now...." everybody knew what was coming and you could hear a collective, "Ohhh! That's my shyt!!!" from the whole club! The dance floor was big but not big enough as people were dancing all in the aisles. S/O to Rob Base and EZ Rock for a straight-up CLASSIC party joint!!
Rick V White people didn’t enslave your ancestors for 300 years either...with an additional 70 years of Jim Crow and other legislation purposely made to oppress a certain demographic(Redlining, etc.). And by the way, I have a Master’s degree just in case you needed to know. However, this is hip hop...made by the oppressed. Now, the #1 music genre in the world.
This is one of those tracks where I would imagine that they knew it would be a hit when they recorded it. I'm not sure if they knew how iconic it would become.
I'm 50, and I'm reminiscing about the music, movies, books, when MTV played MUSIC videos not reality shows, the dance moves, and people getting along no matter what skin color they had, where they came from or what ever the case might be, because that music brought us together. It's so sad that, with today's rap, people get killed for listening to the wrong rapper.
Who got killed listening to the wrong rapper?? What happened with biggie and Tupac in the 90s was different or better then? Hypocrites. Your too old now to understand anything apparently.
@@jujumama If you're going to attempt to insult me, learn the difference between "your," "you're ( you are, but shortened)." In Chicago, you can get killed by listening to the wrong rapper, especially IF they're part of a particular gang. There has been PLENTY of murders of those who were in the background of the music video. I've witnessed a young black man, that had to be in his late teens early 20s, who was getting the snot beat out of him, because he was listening to a rapper from the rival gang. So, before you THINK that you can step up to me, know the facts.
@Paul Old school rap from the 80s was THE BEST. Why? They weren't rapping about hoes, killings, drugs, being in a gang, etc. Everyone could enjoy music from every genre without the fear of getting shot, or the snot beat out of us.
@@toniremer1594 I know very well the difference, and can make and use grammatically correct and complete, unfragmented sentences as well. And be more specific next time too. That doesn't happen everywhere Chicago is pretty fucked up
I’m 51 and this song is still one of my very favorites. Brings me back to those L. A. days in the 80s… Oh the 80s. Kids today, glued to their phones addicted to technology, have NO idea.

I was 21 in the navy reserve doing my weekend reserve time in San Diego at a dance club in TJ and when this song came on it made you wanna dance. Best time of my life late eighties early nineties. Good music and youth.
I was a cop in Baltimore when this song hit the radio. In the summer, 4×12 shift I would literally hear this song everywhere and all night long! As a white cop, the guys standing on the corner would yell when I drove by in my car blasting this song with the windows down! Ah,what memories!
Wow got my bob on, time to HUSTLE. In math class pop quiz, question was what's the diff between an eighth and a quarter, I put about fitty buckz, yup 40 was 12 at the skate ring, w this song came on...ah man killed it

I tried out for my hs cheerleading squad to this song way back in 1989. I am so old. But I wouldn't want to be in high school today, life is much more difficult for kids.
I'll never forget the first time I saw this played at the roller skating rink dance on Saturday night. Everyone, and I mean everyone, went on the dance floor. There were people with no arms and legs out there dancing. It was crazy. I never saw a song get everyone off the wall and on the floor like this one.
This is awesome. Hip-Hop when it was all about fun, dancing and respect. Almost 30 years ago (1988 when we did the video) and it still rocks the house. RIP Skip, still missing you! #Classic4Life #WhooYeah
I’m 35 I remember my aunties playing this at their party’s while we would be running around playing freely without a care in the world. We were safe and happy. No video games just us enjoying each other 🥺
This was my husband's favorite rap, he knew every word, when this came on the radio as a throw back he went crazy...you would think he was Rob Base. Rest in Peace baby❤

Best Song forever.
That beat is probably one of the best beats in hip hop
It sounds like they sampled "Set it off (on the left yall)"
Both the beat and the chorus are a sample of 'Think (about it)' by Lynn Colins, it's sort of the bridge of that song.
This beat *IS* hip-hop.
As of this post, this track is 28 years old... and still makes people get up and dance.
*TIMELESS*
DEFINITELY.
It’s from James Brown’s album “Funky people”
Only 74 million views? Even if you don't generally listen to Rap Hip Hop there's no denying this one was historic and monumental.
A firkcin classic for us that didnt even like hip hop@
@@simonphelps5793 Update: now over 75,000 views... STILL TOO LOW! This thing was a pop culture phenomenon.
76 million in July of 2024.
74 million isn't bad at all for a song that came out in the late 80s. Most hip hop from the decade barely cracks 20M if even
That said this isn't even an official video posted by the official channel, the songs you see that have hundreds of millions were posted by official channels in the mid 2000s so they have a larger audience with more time to gain views
im pretty sure ive also heard it used in like 10 different commercials over the years
"I wanna rock right now, I'm Rob Base and I came to get down. I'm not internationally known, but I'm known to rock a microphone. Cause I get stupid, I mean outrageous. Stay away from me if you're contagious..."
This joint still get play through my speakers in April 2020!
hehehehe
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Song represents a whole generation 😂❤😂❤😂
🙌
Still hits as hard after 33 years as it did at the time.

Without question and without doubt. You just can't sit down on this one.
Correct!!,! 45 king on next booyya
Kasha! 👌
Randy on "My name is Earl," couldn't stay still when this came on
It really does. I just dance better now...thanks to stuff like this
How could this have been 30 yrs ago!!! How did I get old....
Lol IKR
Elmo Trex jajajaja I was a baby when it came out my older sisters would play it.
@@marthaprodriguez5741 wow, u were a baby, now I really feel old....lolo
Elmo Trex lol Im not that young anymore almost 50 lol
Right with ya...damn it was fun back then!
There will NEVER be another year in Hip-Hop like 1988!
I was in the Army in Ft. Carson, CO, when this dropped and back then we were in the clubs on post and off post 5-6 nites a week. And I swear no other song filled the dance floor more than this one! When that first part would come on and say, "Right about now...." everybody knew what was coming and you could hear a collective, "Ohhh! That's my shyt!!!" from the whole club! The dance floor was big but not big enough as people were dancing all in the aisles. S/O to Rob Base and EZ Rock for a straight-up CLASSIC party joint!!
I was stationed at Fitzsimmons I Aurora, CO. Same experience.
Late 80s, and 90s were the best for rap/hip hop. They did it with no internet, just hard work and getting it done! Putting in the hard work!
Absolutely. Born in 1974. Got the 80s and 90s😎🙋
real hip hop will never die
Yep, the (very) late 80's and the early 90's were my club days. They had the best dance songs.
Word up!!!!
Complete 80s and early 90s
Those were the days. No matter what race you were. Rich or poor. You got down to this. 80's were a good time.
John Anthony the 80’s & early 90’s ... the best!! 😁💪🙌
Before the Democrats hit us with the identity politics
Flea market nikes
Yep and it was some of the best times too
Rick V White people didn’t enslave your ancestors for 300 years either...with an additional 70 years of Jim Crow and other legislation purposely made to oppress a certain demographic(Redlining, etc.). And by the way, I have a Master’s degree just in case you needed to know. However, this is hip hop...made by the oppressed. Now, the #1 music genre in the world.
I'm going on 60 yr's old and this still makes me get up and dance!!!!
I kn o w dats rite...
Yeahhh🔥🔥
Me too, can't help myself. 😊
God bless you
Nice... im 43.....feeling 20...as im jamming to it....:)
This is one of those tracks where I would imagine that they knew it would be a hit when they recorded it. I'm not sure if they knew how iconic it would become.
I'm 50, and I'm reminiscing about the music, movies, books, when MTV played MUSIC videos not reality shows, the dance moves, and people getting along no matter what skin color they had, where they came from or what ever the case might be, because that music brought us together. It's so sad that, with today's rap, people get killed for listening to the wrong rapper.
The good old days I'm 50 as well shame we can't bring that beat back
Who got killed listening to the wrong rapper?? What happened with biggie and Tupac in the 90s was different or better then? Hypocrites. Your too old now to understand anything apparently.
@@jujumama If you're going to attempt to insult me, learn the difference between "your," "you're ( you are, but shortened)."
In Chicago, you can get killed by listening to the wrong rapper, especially IF they're part of a particular gang. There has been PLENTY of murders of those who were in the background of the music video. I've witnessed a young black man, that had to be in his late teens early 20s, who was getting the snot beat out of him, because he was listening to a rapper from the rival gang.
So, before you THINK that you can step up to me, know the facts.
@Paul Old school rap from the 80s was THE BEST. Why? They weren't rapping about hoes, killings, drugs, being in a gang, etc. Everyone could enjoy music from every genre without the fear of getting shot, or the snot beat out of us.
@@toniremer1594 I know very well the difference, and can make and use grammatically correct and complete, unfragmented sentences as well. And be more specific next time too. That doesn't happen everywhere Chicago is pretty fucked up
I was so lucky to be a teen in the 80’s!! The music back then was the bomb!!!
I was in my 30s in the eighties and I loved it - I still love it now.
Lucky 😊
@@ur_favone no kidding
I wasnt born til 84 but having 3 older sisters that were 4,5,6 yrs older than me i heard all the good stuff
Well, the good thing is that the music of the 80's is still the bomb today, and it is here for those who want to look for it.
One of the best rap song in the late 80's....RIP DJ E-Z Rock
That Nike tracksuit still hittin!!
This song brings back good memories. You don't hear lyrics like this anymore. Those were the good days and damn they were good.
I love how innocent, pure and all bout the music and commraderie that old school hip hop had...
Yessssss,surely missed!! Come back good raps/beats....HIP HOP NEEDS YA!!NOT
@@superdave772 I just subbed your channel.
dam girl your needed
Yo wonder woman,you better be over 45 to say this??
This song will never ever get played out FACTS !!!
I’m 51 and this song is still one of my very favorites. Brings me back to those L. A. days in the 80s…
Oh the 80s. Kids today, glued to their phones addicted to technology, have NO idea.
These kids today.................
Ahh sounds accurate for a boomer
@Fun 4Life- I'm 51 also. Those were great times. We were blessed to be teenagers during that time. I had so much fun.
Mam with all due respect . You seem to be acting like we don’t do anything else . We have lives outside of technology
@VS4861 Bish, boomers were sleepin at home while we were out partying unfurling the universe and shit.
This is still my number one hype song approaching 2025
Still jammin' this one in Sept 2020... glad I was a young adult and a US Marine during this time frame...

Straight up Hip Hop!
Life was A LOT better back in these days. I was a freshman in high school when this came out.
Teddy Riley very seldom misses
I was 21 in the navy reserve doing my weekend reserve time in San Diego at a dance club in TJ and when this song came on it made you wanna dance. Best time of my life late eighties early nineties. Good music and youth.
I was a cop in Baltimore when this song hit the radio. In the summer, 4×12 shift I would literally hear this song everywhere and all night long! As a white cop, the guys standing on the corner would yell when I drove by in my car blasting this song with the windows down! Ah,what memories!
Officer!
Good times, right!

Respect if only all cops were as cool 😎 👮♂️
@@malterwitty5433 Thanks sir, I tried to treat people with respect.
Proud that this stays on blast in my house! The dude in the orange shirt dancing with Rob is my brother. He still recognized for this video.

@@TqueeNichols-it3sp kids are being abused with drugs and killed in a country that as failed the common citizens, by insecurity and misfortune.

AWESOM CLASSIC CHILD HOOD MEMORIES 😀 BRINGS BACK GOOD TIMES I WAS 17
Exactly what I'm doing right now.😂😂😂😂
I was 17 when this came out and a year later I was in the Marine Corps hitting the clubs with my brothers!
I'll never forget the first time I saw this played at the roller skating rink dance on Saturday night. Everyone, and I mean everyone, went on the dance floor. There were people with no arms and legs out there dancing. It was crazy. I never saw a song get everyone off the wall and on the floor like this one.
Still makes me wanna dance… June 2024 🎉
Yessss every time I hear this I dance
yeah yeah
💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻
I can’t hear this and NOT dance! It’s infectious!
👍🏿
This is awesome. Hip-Hop when it was all about fun, dancing and respect. Almost 30 years ago (1988 when we did the video) and it still rocks the house. RIP Skip, still missing you! #Classic4Life #WhooYeah
YEAH #WOOYEAH
"Stay away from me if you're contagious." Rob Base the prophet.
I am pretty sure people were aware of infectious diseases in 1988.
