On this date in 1979 {Jan. 27th} "Knock On Wood" entered Billboard's Top 100 chart; on April 21st it would peak at No. 1 {for 1 week} and spent a total of 20 weeks in the Top 100!!!
MTV didn't exist in 1979 when this was a hit. I don't even remember seeing this video back then LOL She was a "faceless artist" when I bought this single on 45 rpm ;)
I remember back when i got The Warriors for my Ps2 back in '05 me and my buddies would play the shit out of it but anyways i would always get the boom box and just carry it around while my co-op would go fight me always following with the tunes and never fighting.
Thank-you so much for posting this song & video. Amii Sterwart is one FIERCE and TALENTED singer and performer. I love watching this video so I can dance around the house, LOL

As has been pointed out before, Lady Gaga Take Note... this is how you do it! Oh wait on, Eric Cartman's version of 'Poker Face' was way better, so the question is... Would Cartman's version of 'Knock on Wood', knock up your wood?
Need woman for cooking! For all the other stuff I´ve got my four supermodels at the beach. An experimental video-music-project on my channel. Some hate it, some just don´t like it. But see for yourself. On my channel. Ay caramba!
@diamond14441 emma whoooooo..???..... who the fuck is "emma stone".... don't say stupid things in the wrong channel or you are bound to get offended IDIOT....nothing beats the originals of whatever song. no new verisons of any song is better than any original song and just because YOU like it doesn't mean is better than the original.
@KeMoniito Heed your own woods, moron: Just because YOU like it doesn't mean it's (or "is" in your idiot language) better. Music is completely subjective so if someone thinks one version is better than the other then that's their prerogative.
For the record, I have never heard Emma's version.
@greatestxgift Hey fucking asshole, i don't care how subjective music is , my point is the ORIGINAL is always the FIRST and will always be the ORIGINAL . anything else is COPIES no matter how better they are for some , do you get it you fucking idiot..??
@KeMoniito You're not seriously this stupid...are you? Obviously the original will be the first as that's the definition of the word but that's not what you stated. You specifically said that "no new verisons of any song is better than any original song" and that "just because YOU like it doesn't mean is better" when you're the moron putting down someone for claiming one version is better than the other. The point is you're an ignorant fool for not realizing that music is completely subjective.
I always loved this video. Inventive back then, plus Ms. Ami looks like a Goddess. I loved Ami's version of this classic R&B tune from the '60s. Thanks for the memories.
Health & safety ought to be informed about this. Knocking on wood is not advisable unless you are wearing suitable hand & eye protection and have the area coned off the warn the public. Also, noise levels have to be monitored.
@02berlina It depends from what perspective you look at it from, but I love both Gaga and Amii. Wish people would stop trashing her though, it gets old.
@1rockcrawford yeah , i have to agree with you there. although shes not my " cup of tea ", she still has some good songs. each to thier own i guess. the world would be too boring other wise.
The greatness of this song is that it is probably the only disco song of the era to be played in shuffled time (I mean, both the bass and hit hat hits lay on triplets)
First of all, the state-of-the-art video special effects of 1979. You aimed a video camera at a TV screen it was hooked up to, and you got an endless repetition of the image stretching into the distance.
Second, many many times I pumped my fists in the air to coincide with the 3 thumping beats in this song, in my disco days in the late '70s.
