[cancunboy7066]

@PlatinumSongbird "Work That Sucker To Death" by Xavier feat George Clinton. Hope that's the right one!

[PlatinumSongbird]

[lexusclass2]

[magnospeti]

I think they are doing their job perfectly. They take it seriously. It is a kind of soul music that expresses the momently good feelings of theirs. These feelings come over this song to our loudspeakers and rooms....... :-)

[MrTylermclean1]

this is truly DC gogo at it's best, fat tony and the boys can roll with the best. SAY WHAT YALL!!!!

[moheffaa]

[thejerkstore]

@moheffaa Oh, YES. This was always the eye opener for anyone I played TF for. They were all "ok, whatever, yeah, timbales, cowbells, blah bla--HOLY SHIT!" That synth transition took TF into the stratosphere.

[Buckeyecat2002]

DC Double GE Oh. Or just say GoGo.

[JoyNBaltimore]

Whoa, this reminds me of Safety Harbor Florida.....I was 22yrs. They would turn this jam up and the whole neighborhood bounced! The voice of the Lead Vocals has a sexy, scratchy voice and the GoGo beat in ON!!!!!! At that time I did not know it was GOGO music.

[MattyTheMole]

@ladycat629 Im 21 yrs old and I found this albumn in vinyl in a new and used music store for $5 still in the plastic.

[Quanyin69]

Okay, I get it now... I just listend to "I'm chillin" and it IS about Trouble Funk (blush blush....) lol

[rgb404]

Baddest GO GO song ever!!

[backpackr]

stupid repetitive song...like most funk..annoying.

[BlaxxBchr]

This song made me a skating ring all-star. I was 15 and popping vivarin caffeine pills before I hit the skating ring on Friday nite. I played Pac-Man most of the time, but when this song came on, I would hit the skate floor and turn it out. This song put me in a trance and I was a skating/dancing fool.

[simont7]

They played at Brown University a few years in a row. Did about a 14 minute version of this song. In fact, they walked on stage and played straight through for about two hours, one song blending into another. Great set!

[pecan712]

Man this jam is still rockin hard

[mookeychase0907]

Yo check this history, yo any old head like me knows when this joint came out in fall 81 niggas was doin "The Back Ache" who remember that?

[lunupe83]

Yep Fall of 81! I took this joint back to my college in Oklahoma and had dem country bamas "Dropping the Bomb"!! This is really a 20 minute groove wit the Andy Griffith open by the horns at the beginning of this groove.. Where can i find some oldschool PeaceMakers??

[therealflamelit]

When I hear this I think Howard University or Grambling vs. Southern at the Bayou Classic..

[davethedoobie]

"Pump me up" - Grandmaster Flash

[rafamalicats]

Good God, y'all.

[PATYPUS3]

This funk troubles me.

[ourvinylcollection]

I love it when the ladies chant "DROP DA BOMB"..."DROP DA BOMB"....

[barbequeblues]

TheKingGallo makes a persuasive argument about the nature of the song. I whole-heartedly agree.

Thank you for being both relevant and concise. You cunt.

[geraldsmash]

@barbequeblues this is classic go go. d c style

[troyejr]

"DROP DA BOMB'

[gnuttz1972]

man i was so into this album when i was like 10 yrs old....just caught the funk from these tunes....moved onto Electro, Hip Hop, then Acid House, House and now D n B - raw to the core!

[cooldjyoungn]

I'm from where Go-Go was originated...born and raised in Washington DC...people have their favorites and some say that others were better than the other but my personal opinion is that ,Trouble Funk is the best Go-Go band ever...they never copied or used any other music through out their career...can i get a witness?

[musalinnie]

this da shiznnit

[myview808]

I was in the ninth grade when this dropped and I played over 100,000 Times!!! Still loving it! I was there in the begining Go-Go 4eva!!!!!!!!!!!

[sibbald]

[Philydred]

This was the jam in my college days,at Central State University (Wilberforce Ohio). The cafeteria went crazy at dinner time,when someone played the jam

[Jeffofnnva]

This brings back memories of Saturday nights dances at the no A/C teen center. Afterwards, everybody would then bum rush Mickey D's were the weekly melee fight would break out with the po po dispatched wieldding batons and spraying mace at random. Ahhh..... those were the good ole days!!!
