Youngstes, if you have no game, no rap or no lyrics, just remember these lyrics. It worked for me many many years ago. This was my first slow dance with a girl, will never forget that moment. MEMORIES, A TRUE VINTAGE CLASSIC.

[mr24seven69]

Hey Hey LA LA its a brand new day can you dig it baby? lol love the car wash

[GreenBeatBoxer]

[nycdude999]

This song was both written and produced by Norman Whitfield, the legendary songwriter who wrote most of the Temptations songs.

[irocproject]

Super Classic !!

[Niblipix]

The only thing wrong with this awesome classic is that its about an hour too short!

[Bluecat279]

SON-OF-GUN; JUST MADE IT!!! In 1977 "I Wanna Get Next To You" peaked at No. 10 thus just making the Billboard's Top 10 and spent a total of 17 weeks in the Top 100...

This song was featured in the movie "Car Wash"

Covered by Cherrelle in 1997...

[TheIrvinlopez]

I was 18 working in a music store in Manhattan NYC. I was living on Ocean parkway. What a time!

[nycdude999]

@TheIrvinlopez Was it Discomat?

[huntp01]

Timeless lyrics. Pure soul. So honest and fragile. Beautiful.

[nem700]

[therealraybaby]

#368

[sonickage]

dude....so chill..

[Angelscryforu]

Still a great song ...even after all these years. I think I was about 17 when Car Wash came out and when this song played in the movie...I was hooked on it.

What a fun time ..the 70s!

[kd4adv]

"FRIDAY"! 

[meltone942]

born in 1970. still remember car wash. this song hits deep on alot of levels. god !! why cant we go back?

[MsAlone4now]

@bbjuyb87 Are you speaking english??? I CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU

[mooe1965]

Old Skool. Can't stop playin it. Been so long. Makes me sing!!!

[mooe1965]

I was such a young kid when Car Wash came out and my Mom dropped me and my brother off at the theater to see this movie. Being Mexican it was just to cool. This was my favorite song for so long. And I did wana get next to a girl so bad. Made me Kool.

Still love it to this day. Do the math. What year did Car Wash come out? I was there. 10 year old in San Jose, Ca.

[TheIrvinlopez]

Late 70's working in a record store in NYC. I was 20 and living alone in Brooklyn.

[googleboyny]

Just so smooth......

[MultiNelly97]

Friday :) ♥

[themavsfan1992]

Smokey: Ms. Parker finer then a mothafucka!

[bambam2528]

your sites the bomb

[cableguy235]

needs more cowbell !!!!!  NOW

[Rabshakeh9]

growing up in the 1970's u probably heard it all (funkadelic, peter frampton, queen, grace jones, u name it). do u remember the movie 'saturday night live'? anybody who saw it back when it first came out probably like it. u may not have bought the album but i bet u still liked the movie and the music. car wash was the exact same experience but the music was extraordinary in comparison.

[ProffessorT]

This white boy-old Guy now. loves this music. I always have. Thanks for sharing.

[shinmalishness]

sooo sweet mum used to do her best to hide my afro american hair god bless her rip

[BarakatLush]

These are my songs I grew up with. I really didn't the meaning of them until I got older. Keep up on the old school jams as they all have meanings to them all. :)

[MrMitchxr]

good song love this old music

[sirwob]

this kinda song made white boys like me buy JB's "say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud".back in '67....screw race, good music is good music, btw yes, I know this was a few years later,, point made

[GlorifiedTruth]

@sirwob - No sweat, bro, I'm with you on this one. Love this song.

[sexyjazzy39]

this song makes u go emm emm em!

[RRR17100]

This is originally frm carwash..

[msandreamaria]

The 70s have great music :)

[dazebhen1]

"hi u guys".... "hey..."

[MrMistyBlue42]

I wanted to get next to Chakka Khan way back then !!!!!!!!!!

[Rabshakeh9]

YES! The movie "Car Wash" highlighted this entire album. If you were alive during that time, or if you were even an embryo you had to catch this on one level or another. The 50 dislikes have to be from people who were born recently...the generation "y" dummies. You're called generation "y" because none of the rest of us can understand why (or "y") the hell any of you were ever conceived. Go look at Justin Beiber videos, you idiotic pieces of excrement.

[vivandav67]

@Rabshakeh9

and don't forget the lovely "millenial generation(born around '93)....they are the reason bad music gets made and stays in the culture....unless you run across one who doesn't have helicopter parents who gave them a little gumption to do something/anything and instilled some manners, socialization, work ethic, and compassion in them...don't let me go on...

[DocDawg79]

@Rabshakeh9 yep!

[trampledbylambs]

defines smooth ..

[educatorpoet]

When the movie " Car Wash " came out their whole album was playing throughout this movie. Car Wash and Rose Royce are one of my favorite movies and r&b groups. If you have never seen Car Wash you need to see it. Classic 70's movie with great music.

[michellenjames1]

@educatorpoet No I have never seen that movie , will go look for it , Being a 70s movie classic , it might be hard to find .

[Justagurlntexas]

@michellenjames1 I think Rabshakeh9 was talking about "Saturday Night Fever" with John Travolta. Saturday Night Live is a comedy show, started in the 70's

[educatorpoet]

@michellenjames1 ...Wow! I purchased Car Wash and Cooley High on dvd along time ago when I had joined BMG Music and movies. I think I was in college then. I'm glad I did because it is for sure a classic. You may want to try and see if you can google it and see if you can purchase. Try amazon.com they normally got any and everything you are looking for. Good Luck!

[linscott63]

@educatorpoet right on man.....thet coincided with the opening of(at the time)s.Texas' biggest newest...."windsor park mall"....

[janrod2001]

@linscott63 I remember when that was built . We use to skip out of school during lunch . Miss those days .

[linscott63]

@janrod2001 me too,went to Roosevelt,Mr. Qualls,&Mr Nunn,would flank the parking lot on both sides to try&catch us leaving,but we always won(well I Know I did,Had a new Z-28....catch me Motherf***s!!!)teehee! good ole days.........thanks for the comment! God Bless Joe Anthony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!! rok on peeps! Cj

[janrod2001]

@linscott63 Mr. Nunn was always with his walkie talkie trying to catch us . I swear those were the good ole days ! Thank for helping me to reminisce !

[linscott63]

@janrod2001 Jan,When did you attend school there?

[MrDHiland]

The ULTIMATE 'slow dance' song at any High School Dance in 1976!! Cue up the Revolving Disco Ball Light....and let the music take you there...THE SEVENTIES RULE!!

[lololxDxDxD]

harold and kumar!

[Juicylicious27]

[DRock6906]

You have to wonder...... How can someone "dislike" music like this? Don't get me wrong. Everyone has their own tastes and preferrances, but to dislike a classic song like this?! That is just beyond me. Probably some kids who just don't get what real music is.

[tybeepirate]

@DRock6906 Amen!

[slopmastergroovychil]

Carwash!!!!

[Socarmen24]

how the hell does Tupac pop up in this similar artist?

[MrDaveo1963]

The first time I heard this song in the Original Car Wash with Richard Pryor.

[icouldbecontacted]

Getting next to the one you care for will lead to only great experiences. Lets all Get NEXT TO EACH OTHER!

[francis9787]

the power of some ones voice ,quite amazing when you think about it.

[Quashia14]

FRIDAY!!!



[Lionthing]

I played Hooky at Va Vourtland Park in Da Bronx waiting to compete in a big Cross country race, It was snowing in November 1975. I did not like the school James Monroe or my ex friend that was racing against me. Yes he beat me but my school won. This song on my transistor radio is forever cut in my memories.

[aceintheholeagain]

This is my fave song in the Car Wash movie! :)

[wekakiwi]
