They did a halfass job with this song; and the only reason why the RIAA approved of it as a pop song is because America is too racist to have full regard toward criteria for "real funk"!
If you wanna hear funk; try hearing the song "Wide Receiver" by Michael Henderson!
Who says us white people can't get down!! Bobby Caldwell, Hall and Oates, Roy Head , Eddie Hinton; Soul ain't a color folks.
It's all American music to me. Critics like to label Americans music; R&B, soul, country soul, old race music....WTF, is this Walmart, It's all just America baby!! We should be proud regardless of color.
Just cashin' in on that Disco thang... Hey. It's a good tune. What difference does the skin color of the artist make? Let's evolve already. Like Warren Beatty says in Bullworth: "What we have to do is keep fucking each other until we're all the same color." I'm down with that if it'll cure racism.
This is hilarious, I tuned in to enjoy an excellent funk classic only to see a bunch of comments about the war. Grow up the lot of you! But back to the tune - it is indeed one of the finest funk tunes every recorded - dynamite bass intro. Some of the commenters here would be doing well to remember that and keep the war comments for a more appropriate forum...
Dude? That's funny too. I'm aware it's YouTube, thanks, and I certainly don't advocate censorship in my comment. I do stand by the sentiment though that this is a crazy place to be discussing war - come on, a disco funk classic as a platform for the rights and wrongs of WWII. I don't think it's me you need to advise about ignoring others but I do appreciate what you say so peace etc to you and everyone commenting here!
oi oi? At least I have commented on the music! You don't say what your gripe is, so I don't know what it is as you *left* before sharing. Must have been important. By the way - this is still a kicking tune...
In talking about the topicality of youtube comments you were starting to discuss something other than the music, the very thing you were opposing in the first place. OK, my thoughts on this choon? nice! But I've heard funkier...
america is pissed cause they were the straw that broke the nazi's back (and took japan to the house by themselves) america suffered 415,000 military death while france only took 215,000 military deaths and then turned their back on america in the 60's, i bet alot of veteran's wonder why they and their buddies sacrificed so much for those cocksuckers. im not trying to belittle any achievment but come on.
To be honest Russia broke the nazi's back, killing 80% of all german soldiers, not to mention the majority of german armor was fighting russians. For every 1 german killed, 3 americans were killed. Russia suffered heavy losses but they really did a damn good job. Im not sayin anything against americans, as i am one, and yes without us russia would of been in trouble, but we have to be fair here...Not taking anythin away from the sacrafices people made, just sayin...And yes, fuck france...
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! i love love love love love that song soooooo much i couldnt find it anywere my cd of it broke and i have been trackin it down 4 like 4ever but had no luck in findin it till now i am sooooo happy now that i finaly found it i have loved this song sence i was like 3,4,or 5
You guys need to chill about the war...enjoy the music. Still, I have to say [yes, I'm English], that I do not agree with "Oh yeah, America won WW2 and saved us all". Actually, the British her allies and fought for much longer; the Americans came in later. However, we do also need to pay tribute to the American soldiers who lost their lives, for they are no less important than the lives of the British and allied soldiers, regardless of who came first.
umm hey Zikekian well america is a great country and only were in the war because japan bombed us so shut up,america is a free country and never needed a king or queen our presidents dont rewrite our history we cant change history so your wrong you dont anything about america so shut up and stop being a jerk
Your revisionist history is total bullshit and you know it. Try getting a real education and maybe you won't make such an ass of yourself on these posts.
ihate ppl when they get stupid about stupid stuff Zikikian dont be a asshole genev766 dont encourage him loudmouth i agree but still dont encourage him redkitty909 i dont think they're mad about the name
My family fought through the whole of WW2, and here in europe... we're able to fight a whole war.. not just turn up at the last minute and claim we won it. Nor fuck over middle-eastern countries for oil and then cry that we want to leave because it doesn't go according to plan. I shouldn't blame you for your ignorance really.. if you're American then your from a country so fucked they indoctrinate you from birth and your presidents are allowed to rewrite history for you. Still.. drop dead =)
What the hell are you talking about no one "rewrites" history in America.
And what the fuck do you know?!
Who are you to say that America sucks?!
P.S. Are that my Great-Grandpa doesn't deserve credit for fighting in World War two. Also I can one up you some of my German ancestors had to escape from Germany to avoid Hitler. So SHUT your mouth.

This dude made a lot of money off this song. Some big company used it in a promotion or something without his permisson. He sued them and won a bunch of money. One hit wonder.... still going strong.
