[WhatInTheHellO]

Can you upload the rest of the songs from this album?

[angelgirl7473]

Im Flying And "I Can Hear the Music" was my 2 favorites would Love it if you uploaded them plz thx

[mastmedia]

Holy Crap! This was BRAVE!

Though somewhat innocent, rap was still very much unacceptable for most parents during this period because it was new and unfamiliar.

Strawberry Shortcake was Renegade.

Much Respect. Much much RESPECT!

[wabtanker]

My absolute favorite was "I'm Flying" - although I thought she was crying the whole time... granted, I was 5. Can you pretty-please upload that song if possible??

[retrorhythms]

@wabtanker LOL, yeah, that one's pretty tripped-out! It wasn't just 'cause you were five that it sounded like that...LOL.

[retrorhythms]

Who's Wayne? Are you referring to that piano cover version?

[angelgirl7473]

@retrorhythms to bad some of the other songs arent on here from this album =(

[AnnainCA]

This is great! I didn't own this particular Strawberry Shortcake album, but I did have one called "Let's Dance." Do you happen to have that one? I'd love to hear some of the songs again.

[retrorhythms]

I have one called the "Exercise and Fun Album" which shows a few of the characterss exercising on the cover and came with an exercise chart. Is that the one you're speaking of? "Let's Dance" is the title of a more recent (2007) SS film and CD.

[AnnainCA]

Nope, it's a different one. "Strawberry Shortcake -- Let's Dance" was an LP released by Kid Stuff in 1982. Songs included are: "Let's Dance," "Strawberry Twist," "One Two Cha Cha Cha," "Berry Silly Hat Dance," "Strawberry Square Dance Tonight," "Limbo Dance," "Do The Strawberry Stomp," "Strawberry Waltz," "Huckleberry's Polka," and "I Was Born To Disco."

[1976cotton]

OMG. I thought I would never hear this again. I was 4 year old when I got this record

[Geratal]

funny stuff. Can't believe there can even be anything about this to discuss but funny nonetheless...... cheerio

[Geratal]

Well if it's getting youtube time - - well that's something to say for itself.

[retrorhythms]

Yes. But I posted it myself, so I wasn't sure how many people would get into it! I had a good feeling, though:-)

[Geratal]

My daughter Britney knows every word and every pause on this song - along with the other 7 great hits on the same record. Unreal it would make it to youtube - who woulda thunk it. Straw, straw say strawberry rap!!!!

[retrorhythms]

I'm glad there's someone else out there who has known this for awhile, too. I think it's "jammin'":-)

[lauralogic]

pardon my pun, but here's a little dirt on Plum Puddin

Plum Puddin' also debuted in 1980, but would not get a doll until 1984, by which time the character had apparently switched genders, and was now a girl.

Wow, things do happen fast in NYC.

[retrorhythms]

LOL, they sure do! That was a recurring theme on this LP!

By the way --since it seems you're diggin' this clip, would you mind giving it a rating?

[lauralogic]

speechless....so bad its completely wonderful.

[retrorhythms]

LOL. I wonder how many takes this recording took! Seriously, the girl or woman doing this had some serious talent to effect that voice AND rap as fast as she did in time!
