So now check my name, now I went and saw these guys, with Zap and Rick James in like 82 or 83 in San Diego. Fucking A they all put on a great show. Me and my buddy who got the tickets were like the only white guys there.
I am a 46 year old white man and everytime i hear this song race is the last thing that comes to mind - good music is good music and this is the bomb YO!
this is the chyt..starts at 0:16..who comes up with that funk!! ..then check it at 3:39/47..then top it off at 4:08!!..THE GAP BAND!!!..those were the days...
just because ur not 4real why u got to hurt me..I love this band..take sme back so much grooove...thank GOD 4 You Tube..missed this so much...love the 80's..full of reallly great music u could actually dance to all night long..oh and roller skate too.
I finally heard this track!! My goodness...last time i heard this i was still in my elementary years. Thanks so much for posting this bro!! I just love it!!
I'm 44 and my mom always played this song for me. I'm still playing it for my and my friends, making my hip-hop and reggaeton listening neighbors to listen to it to fuck'em up. And give them a lesson on what good music is about.

Seriously. Songs like this and all of the amazing songs from Motown make me wish I wasn't born in the decade I was born in. Can I quickly rewind back to the 80s when you would turn up the radio and here songs like THIS playing?
@geomendo WTF?!?!?! You lying ass bitch of a human turd. Have some respect for the dead. How in the fucking Nixon-hairdo can you say that Charlie is alive when he has been deceased for a while? Man, there is no limit to the low-life scumbags that will crawl out of Montezuma's skull. I'm from Concord, CA and there was never a Gap Band show since I moved out here, and I've moved out here 15 years ago. I am a fanatical Gap Band follower. Hey, go buy a dildo and compare it to your .5 centimeter.
well thanks for the song....is been a while .I have been searching for it, but the only thing I remember was nice sound of the bike at the very bigining, them i asked many people if anybody new the song but no answer. at the time i did not speak any enghish so i only when for the sound. and now i just found it today...well now i know the lyrics.
Oh God how much we used to listen to this song back in higschool .Gives me a flashback :-) I still enjoy to listen today cause its a true classic that never dies out
my daddy always played this for me ever since i could remember even wen i was 5 i would ask for him to play this songgg, being me i think im the only 13 year old who listens to this haha
@biebersummergirl this was one of the first songs i ever heard. my parents and their friends would always blast this and dance. I'm 18 now and still love this song
@CedrickKillsZombies haha so true! but hey we all have our own taste. Im probroly the only one who listens to this ,justin bieber, metal, and rock and others
@biebersummergirl haha im 14 and my dad has played this song for as long as i can remember and he just left the house so i used that opportunity to max out my speakers on this song :)
From the Soul and Pride of Derby Town I send this out to my partneeer Dirty Curt the coooolest old school brother i know. To eache's reach and if i don't cop it ain't mine to have. But i'm reaching for it anyway. Daddy Rabbit WLOU 1350 on your dial.AKA} Dirty Curt i love you my brother, Keep on Keeping on.

put the pedal to the medal and burn rubber on me charlie..this song goes hard as fuck... me and the homegirl were drunk ass fuck dancing to this shit on new years !
kikkin bac old skool..... jus how i like it tired of all this new skool crap talkin bout tha same thing all tha time .. pretty self-exsplantory know wat im sayin
@TheInformativeGamer I agree, I'm 23 year old hispanic female :) I enjoy the appreciation of REAL MUSIC, not that noisy junk they play on the radio nowadays.
GOD......Someone please get the original multi-track Master tape of this song and mix that devastating Charlie Wilson vocal higherin the track, so i can die
THE SAD PART IS TODAYS ARTISTS MAKING MILLIONS ON FUCKING GARBAGE MUSIC...THE ARTISTS OF THE 80S WERE RIPPED OFF...MATTER OF FACT..I WOULDNT PAY TODAYS SINGERS MIN. WAGE...LOL..THEY ALL SUCK...WOW..DID CHARLIE WILSON REALLY GO POOR ..WOW
Charlie Wilson isn't poor, is he? Anyways, I like music from The Gap Band and other 80s bands, but I also like some of today's music. Not all of today's music is good, but some of it is in my opinion. Music is music. Its purpose, focus, and singers change (that's why music within the past 50 years or so is usually divided into decade).
First time I heard was at a talent show that a girl danced to. Never heard this kind of music before. Didn't know what kind of genre it was. Disco was slowly fading but was still popular. But this...not even close to disco. I thought it was rock and I guess that's what funk really is.
All the hits these guys had...and yet Charlie Wilson actually ended up living underneath a bridge for awhile? He said so himself. That's such bullshit and proof how the recording industry just uses these artists and don't give a shit about them. It always has been like that and probably always will be...unfortunately.
@DeeJayRoyalT Not that i approve of illegal downloading of music or take issue with anyone else doing it, but this is the karma coming back on record companies for ripping artists off for so long. Now artists make all their cash out of touring and some go into making their own clothes/fragrances etc. Record companies are all vampires who have taken advantage of people like Charlie Wilson and the Gap band for too long...
@DeeJayRoyalT ....or that some of these artists don't understand the value of money and piss it up the wall even though the revenue stream has stopped?
The beat to this used to rev me up before high school football games. I was in overdrive come game time. I would look for people to run over whether they had the ball or not.
The Gap Band's music is a great vehicle to celebrate LIFE. Everytime I hear their music I just want to drop what I'm doing and just frickin GROOVE. They always changed bad days into great days.
@funkateerkitty Woo, gave you my money, I gave you my time Why you wanna hurt me, girl Are you serious, I’m just curious Why you wanna hurt me, girl Just because you’re not for real Why you hurt me, girl Just because you’re not for real Why you hurt me, girl Never, ever had a lover Who put the peddle to the metal And burn rubber on me, Charlie Oh, no You took my money, you took my time Made me think everything was fine Then you upped and ran away And made me just go crazy

@2009Denisem Just because you're not for real Why you hurt me, girl You took my money, you took my time You made me think everything was fine Like the clock on the wall said ding-ding-dong Got to find another lover that won't be gone She won't put the medal to the metal And burn rubber, burn rubber on me, Charlie No, no, no, no Never, ever had a lover Who put the peddle to the metal And burn rubber on me, Charlie No, no, no, no, no, no Thank U sis for all of this... :)

The beat to this used to rev me up before high school football games. I was in overdrive come game time. I would look for people to run over whether they had the ball or not.

The Gap Band's music is a great vehicle to celebrate LIFE. Everytime I hear their music I just want to drop what I'm doing and just frickin GROOVE. They always changed bad days into great days.
