    Been listening to this and other songs of the era. You know what they had that songs don't have anymore? Joy! Regardless of if they were funky, racy, pop, disco. There was joy in the singing and playing and performance, at least for the time of the song. You don't hear that anymore. I miss that.

    • @cdrm9564
      @cdrm9564 9 лет назад +1

      Homerhey actually there is ALOT of music from this time that were about "skrewing". For instance I am listening to a playlist right now that this video is on and hre are some of the songs that are about "skrewing" just from my playlist and this era. Let's see there was "All Night Long" by Mary Jane Girls, "Take Your Time" by SOS band, "Juicy Fruit" by Mtune, "Love to Love You Baby" and "Bad Girls" both by Donna Summer, then there is plenty more, just saying they were DEFINITELY singing about sex back then.

    These jams remind me of when I DJing back in the 70's & 80' s. It still has the power to make you wanna get up and JAM!!! The music out today is just a bunch of synthesized, same beat BORE. You can't even go to an concert and hear the music like you could back in the day. I'm talking 60's 70's and part of the 80's. Thanks you tube for being YOU.!!
