[jokebooks]

This song is funky beyond words.



[pitasoublaki]

Bassist at 01:33 So funky that it hurts!!! hahaha...What a groove man !!!

[PhobiaGuy]

This was when a bass line WAS a bass line!

[TheGoodStuff2010]

What's even more sad is looking at the old BET logo. :-( Such a shame. But, I love the song.

[annasoul123]

2 dislikes.... are you fuckin tone deaf..???

[eliasyoussef1]

esacokes509 " u Said it ur 100% Correct what is happening to music and movies these days its scarey not like 70's, 80's even 90's , they have lost it these days

[frenchymia1982]

[longlivethe80s]

back when music was created by musicians with music instruments

[U5096]

That bassline!! A-MAZ-ING!

[6743Peoria]

[buzcar100]

muito legal, me faz lembrar dos bons tempos da minha adolecencia

[sopitabo]

Feel that shit.

[Wxxdsie]

What a tune!



[twangylad72]

this is in my top 10 80's list always have to throw some shapes when i hear it...

have the 2 who disliked this been shot yet???

[SoulShizzle]

After all these years, i still love this classic

[SuperKvenable]

still makes me moves

[enriquetheprofessor]

i thought the male vocal was stevie wonder when i first heard it back in the day

[policefan1982]

@enriquetheprofessor yes. took me a while to find this looking for Stevie Wonder song! 

[esacokes509]

This song is sick..i love it

I agree our generation has no idea what songs used to sound like back in the day and that whatever is on the radio now sucks. Im just one of those kids who's parents are old school and they are guna stay that way :)

[MrMedusaLvamp]

@esacokes509 U took the words right outta my mouth....U could'nt have said it better!!! Amen! I always wanted to mix this song with "Hey DJ"!

[TheTheblacklion]

@esacokes509 don't let em get to you.lol

[StarX81]

This was on one of the 1st 45's I ever bought! At the time, it didn't sound like anything on the radio. It still kicks the crap out of anything on the radio right now! That's saying a lot for a song that's over 30 years old!!

[MsMedford]

Those puppets got soul!

[roflpaluza]

O.G.

[cryonicblue]

Thanks for this, much appreciated

[steadfastcoward]

They just wanna rock me and I just wanna ID what is beneath his Roland and the brand of most of the amp stacks (Traynor perhaps)? I can swear an Oberheim could be there but it's an electric piano like Rhodes or Fender perhaps, They had serious money, bought or rented, into that setup, which is what impresses me the MOST, after the song!

[ThriveToRevive]

The Firm Sent me! ;)

[aliinottingham]

check the fila

[louisvig]

Even though the song has the same name, Rihanna is not in the same class vocally

not by a long shot.

[DaMostEnigmatic]

I used to think the SOS Band did this song

[DaMostEnigmatic]

I don't consider Rihanna's song a remake, her song and this one sound nothing alike and have a different vibe to it. It's just a coincidence they have the same name.

[ThaMadrook]

Stop with the race crap, music isn't black or white

[spinderellafire]

The song is FIRE... but WTF? puppets?

[KarmalBeauty]

The puppets are HILARIOUS! LOL Too cute!

[capsound38]

Thank you for the class groovin' Funk. If you don't bump to this you've got no soul!!!!

[Soulcerer916]

@Kamelion7 you don't know what the FUCK you talking about. Black folks weren't stealing no damn lyrics and looping up music. Did you not just see the muthafucka playing the keys? The first sampler had JUST came the same year they dropped this song, and you couldn't even record anything more than a few seconds. It was shit. This is the original song, go fly a kite or bake some bread or something.

[Jahworks2011]

@Soulcerer916 Tell em again Dam racist homo's!

[VarietyMusicLover]

at 0:05 she looks like Rhianna lol

[MrBenicia707]

[kamelion7]

@shonte0 What? by nicking everyone elses lyrics and putting them over a loop? yeah alright mate

[kamelion7]

[TheTheblacklion]

[agbrown83]

Puff Daddy and Lil Kim sampled this song in the song "Don't Stop What You're Doing" on his 1997 debut album NO WAY OUT.

[hotchik20]

What year did this song come out? I think I am an old soul because I love 80's music and I am only 22. It reminds me of my mom when I was little and we'd sing and dance.

[eddyolivares]

@hotchik20

if ya wanna call yourself an "old soul" go right ahead... but if your 22 and like this musik, YA GOT STYLE AND GOOD TASTE!!! this is just simply great musik!!

[Kapricorn71]

[frenchybylka]

very nice,album (lp) the two of us 1980

[eddieg671]

Just because its 2oclock dont mean that we have to stop! My all time favorite song from 1980.

[j4wn]

This period of music produced some really cool synth sounds, it's never been bettered.....ever. Think it's a Roland Jupiter Synth. Anyone who knows for sure, let me know.

[sinceretys]

I just wanna rock you alllllllllllllnight longgggggggggg this is some sounds 4 yah ears

[DinFury2007]

I'm only 23 & this is 1 of my favorite songs I kept in my heart. I used 2 lissten 2 this music when I was in high school In NYC!

[brendonkas]

from way back in 1979 or 1980 when i first heard this song I loved it and 30 yrs has passed and this song still sounds great. and to tell the truth are you all sure it is this song that rihanna remade, because I don't think so!

[Neil6000]

This is so much better than Rihanna's current and pathetic attempt to remake this song. An original this good should never be messed with!

[devin60621]

Rihanna totally fucked up this classic song She need to sit her ass down

[funkateerkitty]

@devin60621 Man alot of ppl are angry with Rihanna cuz she is doing the World Cup theme song :(

I guess that K'Naan with Waving Flag was supposed to do it...so everyone is angry on that vid :) Go check him out...he is very good :)

Not spam...just informed :)

[gameshowluvr86]

@devin60621 Thank you!! :-)

[Eagleblacktiger]

@devin60621 actually it was a Micheal Jackson mix, beacuse last time I heard that song by Rihanna.... I heard no guy say "Dont u stop it, dont u stop... STOP THE MUSIC!!!" OR " We dont really wont to stop..... NOOOO!!!!! We dont really wont to stop..." :P

[babypeanutt3]

Damn whut I miss? WHut song did she try to remake?

[BentoBoxBobbyTV]

THE PUPPETS ARE AWESOME!!! This song I liked a lot, but I never expected the puppets! ^_^//

[Nneka1963]

These were these days!!! I was skating around London, England with my friends and the main Roller-Disco in Hammersmith "STARLIGHT"! I LOVED IT! Thanx for posting this Bol2funk! I'm going to check your Channel out for other GREAT tunes from the 80's! Nnek@ ;o) x

[swishoyoularikn]

Boogie with me, all night long ! With this old skool funk, how could you not boogie all night long. Love this song !!!

[swishoyoularikn]

Boogie with me, all night long ! With this old skool funk, how could you not boogie all night long. Love this song !!!

[67genxer]

[VtachDJchris]

The Dayton Ohio sound was wonderful!! Thank God for the Gap Band, and Roger Troutman! ZAPP!

[sherryelhag]

my kind music.....just makes me think of old days....every songs has some sort of meaning to me...Love it ...yes sos band and gap band...my favortie too...not to mention alexander oneal...

[koki420]

you guys should look up The Gap Band! If you like this kind of music.

[koki420]

man i love this song! fake ass rappers can't pull stuff like this. Tired of hearing about money, gangs, bitches and getting fucked up. Now a days most rap sounds the same, well at least the same message. 80's rule!!!

[CLU7]

I was in 5th grade back in 80-81. My class used this song for a musical production at the end of the school year. It always stayed in my mind even after all these years of not knowing who sang it or the name of it. Thanks for putting this up!

[enteralif]

the artist back then had way more imagination and talent than theese new clown now, they were original and no two songs sounded alike.

[Rotan0868]

I love Funk music.......This song is a classic

[56indy]

ace track,

[loosestudios]

The duo consisted of Cavin Yarbrough (background vocals/keyboardist) and Alisa Peoples (lead vocalist). They were discovered by Charlie Wilson of The Gap Band, and signed to the Total Experience Production in 1980.

Their biggest hit single was "Don't Stop the Music" (Pop #19, R&B #1 from 5 weeks in 1981), from their debut album The Two of Us, released in 1980. The album went gold, peaking at #16

[67genxer]

this is the best. i wonder if there is any connection to the S.O.S. band with any of them.

[jsrl317]

This is the jam. PERIOD!!!!

[kingtac]

man this is music that would help one get through a rough day or a good party jam

[greenfields47]

Don't stop your music,yarbrough & people

[blakedmc1989]

this is my 1st time watchin' the video of "Don't Stop the Music" by Yarbrough & Peoples!
