Wild Cherry - Play that funky music

[tibiafinger]

I always heard they were from Columbia S.C.

[dersr42]

Nothing like that old school funk!

[1919Denise]

@ messalino - hint "play that funky music WHITE boy", lol.

[dasgilde]

1976 man i was 14 crap im old

[ShellsMusicboxx2]

@dasgilde shoot you aint old you lucky you got to grow up to all this wonderful funky ,cool REAL music you know the kind they stopped making! bastards! well at least my parents played all these songs around ,me.lol i will love themalways!

[dasgilde]

@ShellsMusicboxx2 well thank you. it was a good time back then in london

[LovebirdsTV]

He "discos down" and "funks out"! LOL!

[EFT4MeDebi]

Who said white boys can't groove?

[MrTrackfreek]

OH NO THEY DIDN'T

[Capdepop]

I always thought that Lenny Kravitz' 'Always On The Run' could have been 'inspired' by this one ...

[mdbtptblw]

That trumpet player had a lot of faith in his slides and mouthpiece not flying off and hitting him in the face! That's some talent(as well as guts haha)!

[TheLadyStranger77]

I was 15 yrs, old when this was on top. We wore hip-hugger, bell-bottom jeans then which are now being worn as, " low-rise, flair-leg jeans. Lol, time repeats it's self in clothing. If only this generation would get out and party as in dancing to music with rythm. There would be no need for diet pills & lipo-suction. That's what was great about the 70's & 80's music, it mae you wanna get up move ant dance your butt off,,,, :)

[LilOrphanFunkhauser]

@TheLadyStranger77 Haha, I say all that coke helped ;)

[TheLadyStranger77]

@LilOrphanFunkhauser I never tried that, I'll tell you one thing. In 1977 had to loose in 6- lbs, in really 4 day to get into a very slim fitting dress for a wedding. My Grandfather gave me 4 diet pills his DR had prescribed for him. I was busy helping get everything for the wedding' swimming 3 times a day, & dancing my butt off to any music, of course. I lost 8 lbs.by the morning of the 4th day...Lol...I wish I knew what that was, it's probably been pulled from the market by now. I felt great !

[epoxycock]

@TheLadyStranger77 It's called Dextroamphetamine lol

[TheLadyStranger77]

@epoxycock Whatever it was called, my house was spottless & the dress fit better than perfect :D

[NateTheGreat93]

The good ol' days I never lived through...

[MrTraceMan]

[freein2339]

[kennisd4444]

Midnight Special Mann Memories

[1954malberts]

[baklava151]

4:14 You're argument is invalid

[WillieMills]

Helen Reddy!



[kjk22956]

I saw them open for Average White Band at the Specturm (philly).

Do they still tour? Can you IMAGINE singing this song....35 years later!!!

[freein2339]

@kjk22956 The Spectrum...!!!??..I saw "Rare Earth" , Funkadelics" , and "Earth Wind and Fire" at the Spectrum in 1974....those were great days for creative music....

[MrWinterSniper]

PLAY THAT FUCKING MUSIC WHITE BOY!!!

[gottvader]

[gferg44]

4 people obviously did not play that funky music

[punkkidrew]

looks like he forgot the words 2:24

[DA90027]

Great band but the vocal are bordering on camp. I have a feeling this was going to be a novelty record then it became a huge hit in the clubs.

[TheElmapa]

funky, funky and I love it!!!!!!

[88mroux]

Helen Reddy whats her story compared to Wolfman Jack?

[josycal]

That's serious cocaine.

[TheMetalKeyboardist]

Every time I listen to this, I think to movin-ass girls. WONDERFUL!

[MishuTaste]

It would be funny if he dropped his trumpet.

[MrTraceMan]

I love the "Horn section" they were representin big time, one of the best party songs ever....Great song!

[stiks014]

that guy sounds like a funky dark guy but hes F***** white

[ben909ben]

He's pretty good

[sabbathrulz99]

[MishuTaste]

@TheBlueBandYTAccount Gibson Les Paul, baby.

[mudstud05]

F'ing awesome music..Even though this song is way before my time..Great music is just plain great music..Great sound..

[LowRagg]

better than lady gagaga and co.

[AngryKiko]

Nothing beats hearing this song.... in a strip club with a beautiful black dancer mouthing the words during a lap dance. True story.

[7WarAnglesFly]

I loved the 70s great music to dance to.

[vmi3301]

You don't see that every day!!!!! I mean, really???? Who plays funk on a Les Paul??? LMAO!!

[WoodRatGirl]

Shake it baby!

[cyndijoy1]

The seventies put out the best music hands down. Wild Cherry, Grand Funk RR, the Commodores, Earth Wind & Fire...and that's just the funk. In the rock genre...omg. The whole era rocked. I pretty much liked everything from that time.

[smonkey957]

Nothing but the best

Way to go Mr Rob Parissi

Is the keyboard player the same one from the band Scandle with Patty Smyth?

[MRSEBASI]

great song !!!

[bonzz1966]

They are not from Stebenville OH. they are from nearby Mingo Jct. Oh.

[12groney]

It's too bad that people won't allow themselves to have this kind of fun anymore. The 70's was a state of mind, and that's the state I want to live in!

[childfreeman]

@12groney

groney, I am so jealous of people who lived through the 70's

I was be born in 1950, not 1980 :(

[Khultan]

@childfreeman What are you talking about?!? The sixties are great! 

[RetroJenny]

@childfreeman I agree. I was born in 77, but I wish I was born in 1957. I love the 70s and 80s.

[childfreeman]

@RetroJenny

You are awesome. Nice to see that some of our generation get it musically :)

[19andoverlol]

The trumpet guy plays six notes and then spins his trumpet for the rest of the song, LOL

[bookmdano]

Yes but he spins it great

[vegasbaby92]

[lulashaw]

@vegasbaby92
