Slippery When Wet (1975)

[17waking]

they were the good days

[buddyzroadie]

@TheLovelyMC Yes it is, but the song was referring to "his" sweet little thing" :-)

[211bill]

Hard hitting funk

[DoubleVisionandco]

Knew this tune somewhat before ever seeing it on House. Now everytime I hear it I see Hugh Laurie in my head playing his cane.

[MrStrctlybznss]

when u were @da party & u heard those 1st couple of notes from the guitar, u dropped your drink, grabbed your girl and broke your neck to get on da dance floor!!!

[DaveWollenberg]

Did Lionel sing lead here, or,did 'Clyde' Orange? Somebody please let me know. God bless ya, for yer efforts!

[msmillievanili]

@DaveWollenberg Lionel Richie song lead 

[DaveWollenberg]

@msmillievanili Thanx, I THOUGHT it was Lionel. God bless ya. Have a blessed Christmas!

[msmillievanili]

@DaveWollenberg May you also have a very merry and blessed Christmas and a happy New Year!!!

[buddyzroadie]

I can not thank you ENOUGH for posting this song! :-)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Lol!

[MzJanuary]

This song does not get the credit it should have!! Wild Cherry ripped off this song for Play That Funky Music...it came out a year after Slippery When Wet!!! You hear that song more than this one. SMH

[mqblues]

If you ain't takin' care of business - this you must expect

Lord it's slippery when it's wet!

[Xenocidzor]

Thumbs up if you`re listening to this in 2020

[qthangoe]

House brought me here!!!

[120KgCrap]

I want the DICK back to the music. Rap and R&B do not get me up.

[alexalot23]

their best work. no doubt.

[FrankB1110]

what a quality O_O thx for the upload!

[incandesantlite]

Someone should do one of those dancing down the aisle wedding videos to this song!

[95Lolloso95]

thanks dr house...

[msmillievanili]

My copy of this is scratched.

[oliverecords]

@msmillievanili Mine is in almost mint condition :)

[Marsx4]

Oh SO good. Wow!

[SyrinxChannel]

What a song ! !

[TheKaratyChicken]

house and hardcore and such will die and funk and rock will conquer the world! someday......

[chinkadero]

I was a white club disco drummer covering it Day 1. That is called Heaven!

[chinkadero]

@SkedBoard I love what u said. Dads are the REAL thing! I am glad he left you this. Love

[bookerirene]

oh yeah !!! house rulezz !!

[BelatedCommiseration]

Glad to see that a lot of people who were directed here from House were not dissappointed! Since season five they seem to have got off the old skool music references. Shame.

[jody808]

the funkiest next to Brick House, in fact this is pre Brick House

[MsPubu]

come hear me slippery when wet, this song inspired it!!!! Pubuzie Bay Bay!!! I love the oldie's!!!!!!!!

[4threconmarine]

Go Walter !

Go Walter !

Go Walter !

[Marsx4]

This is probably my favorite Commodores songs. Wow!

[TheNewBerser]

How many people got caugh by this song because of House XD?

[ittems]

anyone else here because House played his cane guitar to this? :D

[TheNewBerser]

@ittems One here XD

[FuitieroZ]

House brought me here :D

[DaveWollenberg]

Commodores hit #19 in Billboard, 8-9-75. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! RIP, Milan Williams.

[bigfinewoman]

Too funky...love it.

And 2 people have slipped and fell over this song. They also broke a hip.

[bigfinewoman]

Funky funky funky....just love this. So stanky funky....love it.

[hice2madre]

this song is absurdly funky. and amazing quality, dantoine93

[Divljina89]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Oh yeah, and music doesn't "suck" today, you just have to dig deep. Back in the day, there was also terrible music just like today.

[TheKaratyChicken]

@Divljina89 .... ever heard of hardstyle? haha gimme a break the good music is buried deep. you go dig deed in our time, only thing you'll find is a bunch of rappers with exactly the same song structure (no names -jason derulo-) and some screaming "rockers" who don't understand the mic is still on and peeps still wan't to hear each other after the concert.... if I had a time machine.... seventies!!! (though I think I'd took my macbook pro with me haha ;] )

[Divljina89]

@TheKaratyChicken I actually find today music much better, because it evolved. In a nice way. Too bad you get 99.99% bullshit with that good stuff. But in a decade or 2 those good stuff will be the only one remembered. Back in the 90's in the grunge genre you had A LOT bullshit bands. Only Nirvana, Sound Garden and Alice in Chains remained remembered. And dude, stop digging around rap, try everything else but that :D

[TheKaratyChicken]

@Divljina89 yeah-yeah you're right but only thing I am trying to make clear is that nowadays, around 85% is computer generated (loops, auto-tune, etc....) music or live band who sound like shit couze they don't have auto-tune....

[Radiostrauss]

what is the name of this kind of music

[TheKaratyChicken]

@Radiostrauss funk, funky, funkay, groofy, (some say goofy.... :[ ) and at last epic wicked trippin' balls awesome-ish

[007MrYang]

House playing with his cane

[RunawayTrane]

REAL music

[Prostylefilms]

Horace Mann Jr High & Sportsman Park.... brings back memories.

[michael0750]

Thanks for posting this classic track.  Can you post any more from this album like You Don't Know That I Know, Better Never Than Forever, and Let's Do It Right? Thanks again for the great song.

[dolphinbuc]

I was about 6 or 7 when this came out and I couldn't get enough of this.

[davtam09]

By far the best funk album they ever put together jammed every cut summer and fall of 1975. Thanks for the post.

[HomoImperitus404]

Can anyone tell me how the lead guitarist was getting that funky riff sound quality? Did he use any sound effects or was it just using the pickups?

Thanks.

[m7a7b725]

Funky, funky, funky!! That's the way I like it!!

[MrMarla123]

They were sooooo funky. This is the funkiest s**t ever. 

[ericdapugi]

[wontollawolf]

[giovanniakira01]

[jody808]

when the Commodore's where funky, remember?

[ArackAttack2008]

OMG!! This sounds so cool!

[mislokai]

People didn't know Lionel could get funky like this. regroup commodores and don't do the 3 times a lady bullshit Funk it like this.

[MrJuly1990ish]

@mislokai

Lol!! I feel you man, funny you should mention this about Lionel & the Commodores, I was commenting on another blog about a few artist/groups on how funky they were in the 70's before they really blew up big in the 80's with pop songs, such as:

Kool & The Gang

Earth Wind & Fire

Prince

The Pointer Sisters

Chaka Khan

David Bowie

People might not agree, but Madonna's self title debut album back 1982, had a few good funky tracks on it as well.

[dantoine93]
