yes the singer is so cool. Loved the tune since the 80's when people knew how to sing. These days there's rap, which is really only people talkin' shit over music.
I haven't heard this song in ages (not since my cassette tape finally bit it). I've missed it so much! Great funk tune -- first time I've seen a video for it.
I'd been thinking of CDs to try and find to listen to with my beloved, you can't get this in stores any more, I had the vinyl album and it got wrecked years ago, so I bought What Up Dog on iTunes. See, Universal, sometimes Youtube pays!
Sweetpea isTHE man.What a voice,married to one of the best funk/pop songs ever produced. Don Was is a genius.

superb track from a superb and underrated band. Does anyone know if they're still around?

I remember seeing Lyle Lovette live in Austin (98 or 99) and Sir Harry Bowens and "Sweet Pea" Atkinson (Was Not Was lead singers) were backing him.
They sounded great! I heard that an album was released in '03, but I haven't seen it.
