Was (not Was)-Wheel me out (Long version) (1981)

[utubearenazis]

steve angelo made a remix from that track (and even called it 'woz not woz')

[MattMangels]

"I'm a former scientist, now on wheels"

Honestly how can you top lyrics like that?

[DrJinx313]

Miss WGPR in Detroit who used to play this. Detroit radio sucks now!

[mfattey]

0 dislikes - Was (Not Was') genius cannot be denied.

[SuperPais]

Incredible how a classic album like the first Was Not Was , is not in youtb

[candidnot]

Memories of high school nightclubbing past...I have this on the "Dance Ze Dance" EP...and on a more recent Was (Not Was) cd release

[mr05251964]

I USED TO BOUNCE TO THIS TUNE AT TODD'S IN DETROIT....DIS IS THE JAM!

[gordov2]

"Wheel me Out" was one of my favorite songs to play at The Shelter

 -Scott Gordon

[eleesmith]

psychedelic masterpiece

[wyogi06]

Pure Techno Punk!!! This is how Detroit rocks it!!!

[MorganScorpion]

Found it at last!

Thankyou!

[crowhillian58]

fab funky tune from the 80's

[port2344chester]

Timeless choon puts ya in a FUNKTASTIC trance... love it... classic material like this never dies!!

[TreachD]

Haven't heard this track since '82. Thanks for dropping it. It's hard to believe they're the same guys that made "Walk The Dinosaur". lol

[maestrolx]

Been looking for this for years! Thanks!

[Adelskroneexport]

Unbelivable great tune! Thx for upload =)

[offrampt]

The trumpeter on this is an absolute hero.

Has anyone here heard the rumour that the woman's voice on this song is the mother of either Don or David?

I have seen lyrics to this song on the internet that must be the wrongest-ever for such a short song.

[go2class]

psychadellic funk man wow

[gplan372]

so weird -on a par with 'careful with that axe eugene'

[Peter9361]

Another classic. Too bad we didn't have music like this today.

[sithmorg]

Don't worry, we had music like this tomorrow. But I really hope we can have music like this yesterday.

[koldfushen]

what a crazy timbales riff near the end.

Fan Freaking tastic!!!

[SlushPile]

Great song , can't find this version anywhere though!

[maxply]

Its on new compilation 12"/80s Electropop fyi.

[SlushPile]

Thanks! I'm stingy but might buy it if I can't find it soon ( - ;

[Perbrill]

Does anyone remember what the B side of this 12" was called; military sounding weird record

[franknitty02]

Yeah Mojo late @ nite playing all the good SHIT!! Back in the "D".

[wyogi06]

@franknitty02 Mojo brought the true Funk, New Wave, Punk Rock, Progressive, Techno, and House music to the Planet Earth by way of Detroit "Motor City" Michigan!!!

[JEDI7ACEN]

@wyogi06 The Electrofying Mojo beamed down music at us from Parliment-Funkedelic, to the B 52's! From Model 500 to the Clash! all from his Mothership.

[tiituk]

I have the Mutant Disco LP and there are other great tracks and artists like Material with Nona Hendryx and Kid Creole. This track is also in that LP.

[bretagne576]

That 1981 Mutant Disco LP is one of the best albums I've heard.

[tiituk]

It's so fresh even today. I'm proud to be so clever i bought it in '81

[pedrocoppice]

Ha!

just played hamilton bohamen lets start the dance....and remembered this!

ace choon!......

YOU DID IT!

[KelferMookie]

...... :S

[merdailloux]

aaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!

[Cazza0001]

Timeless hot funk !!! Was (Not Was) at their original and best x

[DazedSheep]

Wow! I have a 2 minute version of this but couldn't figure out what song it was. Coooooool

[R0B0TRON]

This was their best work in my opinion, "The Party broke up" second and "Woodwork Squeaks and out come the Freaks" thirdly.

"Earth to Doris" was also a good tune...Detroit represent.

[mallymal68]

Don Was mad some classics. The D is full of innovators!!!!!!

[multinaire]

The Electrifying ..... MOJO

The Truest DJ of all time !!!!! ...representing wit U in the D

[skuzboll]

I always tormented my Dad with "hello dad, I'm in jail"...

OCTF is kickass

[mekanopsis1]

BLINDING

[mikebott]

yes ! one of my favorite songs ever. though i can never seem to remember the name of the horn player.

[casonetto]

Damn, what happened to this band! Such a great 1st funky/discoed out 1st LP, then they just went to shit after that with shit like Walk the Dinosaur.

[mekanopsis1]

Reall.y And I had only heard of them through that sell out track and Dan sicko mentioning it :P

[ourvinylcollection]

Rollerskating in the 80s!!!!!!!

[em3digital]

Yeah I remember this one... this was their first BIG release! I can recall the Electrifying Mojo from WJLB playing this one night and I was amazed... kinda mystified at this new sound. From then on I knew I was sold on House, New Wave, and Techno!

[multinaire]

from the D also......Much Luv

[attillathedub]
