The first time I heard this tune, a childhood friend played it for me. I thought it was a comedy record and started to laugh.... He was a bit pissed off that I laughed. Ya know though, it does have an infectuous funk groove that won't letcha go.
I live in the suburbs north of Philadelphia. I have had the great honor of becoming a friend of Bill Bloom's.(Co-writer). He's a very down to earth guy willing to help young artists.
they should redo this video. the double dutch bus would have to be lowered leave it the same black, install about about a dozen 50" LED TVs, enough subwoofers in there to cause mass murder and put on some ...um...42s with a 10" lip ;)
@mondeo33 7" Vinyl? I remember the old 45s, but not when this dropped. You must have been from the school that burnt down before they actually built the "Old School."
take me back to 1981. i am sitting on the front stoop, reading a chris claremont x-men comic, and listening to this on my Sanyo "BoomBox," such as it was. :)
I love this song still, but it's pretty bizarre. A guy who sounds like Wolfman Jack singin and rappin, then halfway through there's a breakdown with what sounds like Bill Cosby making up his own language and teaching it to some kids. No wonder us children of the 80's are weird.
um.....am i the only one who notices how creepy this video is? it's a bunch of little kids being lead into a creepy bus by a strange black guy.....wtf
This was one of the funnest songs to listen to.....Fun back in the day....if you catch his words.... {I GOT BAD FEET, MY CORNS HURT, TO TOP IT OFF I''M LATE FOR WORK, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I SAY WHEN I'M DEALING WITH A FUNKY SIDEWALK, LET ME SHOW YOU HOW I WALK, WITH MY FUNKY WALK,LET ME TELL YOU WHAT I SAY,WHEN I'M DEALING WITH A FUNKY SIDEWALK, I SAY SUUUGGGARRRR...
So sweet...reading the back story. Thumbs Up if you enjoy !!!! Dance and Moving On !!!
