I remember this! One of my favorite one hit jams from the early 80's. I remember having a little trouble learning the dance but enjoyed getting it down and partying at the clubs in Memphis. Loved the bass line and the rhythm, the rhythm, the rhythm!
@MrBillc1023 wondering if you hit them down in Overton Square?... Most the boys from the base NAS Millington loved to get their party on an out of the overstarched uniforms an see how the other half lived!
@boxingcop Yes sir! I use to hang out on the Square sometime and I am very familiar with NAS Millington, but during that period I had an apartment on Beale and Main so I did most of my partying in that area. Primarily at Alfred's but also at other places in that area like the spot near the MLK Museum (Lorraine Motel) that had the Christmas lights all year long.
this was the dance of 1982 in a club/bar call LUDIEs,,,Munster BI Deburg Germany,,,,,ME,,, Grimes,JOJO,Mugsey,and the woman from the wack shack,, was at the club,kick it 545th ord and 6MP was doing it up then,,,, the smurf was the dance ,,,,, Germany was great place to kick then....
THANK YOU!!! for posting THIS song!!!! OMG! I'm sixteen years old again and dancing the "Smurf" in a hole in the wall club at midnight - me and my cousin ("cuz") eating a piece of chicken smothered in hot sauce and smashed in white bread!!! (LOL!!!) And yes, I'm definetly "fly" with my mini and cut out tank on!!!!
You know how it is, grown man with responsibilities and you hear this. The shoulder twitches and then your back in the day, popping, locking and breakdancing!!
@ozulu45 Just so you know ozulu, I'm white and part american indian and I grew up on this music. I love this music. I hate to break it to ya but white and black people created this type of music together so love it and live it, brother. This music is my generation and yours at its finest. Seriously tho this music and all others will be gone in a 100,000 years anyway. Well all except one song that will outlive the earth. Can anyone here guess what song I am referring to.

@mysterymediacorp It's because,there was a dance move called the smurf back in the day,breakdancing was relatively new still,I remember because I was there doing it ....lol,also a good rollerskating tune
@tushansoulboy both! i didnt think rap music would destroy every single thing soulful in our culture! these little crack baby droopy pants thug idiots think black music started in the dam 1970's and dont even want to go further back to scott joplin or even muddy waters! it's a dam embarrassement!!
This track was on the Street Sounds Crucial Electro 1 LP, one of my faves
I'm going to the 'STREET SOUNDS UK FRESH REUNION' at Scala, London, 16th July where Electro Legends Captain Rock, Newcleus, The Boys & Grandmixer DST & more will be performing live! Plus Bboying & Graffiti.
Killer bass,as has been commented on below, but also the space in the music shows a real understanding of how to, pardon the pun. cut down to the bone. Nothing is rushed... it just pips along in it's groove building to that superbly tuneful chorus each time. Stunning music, and for invention is sadly missed in the times that we now live in.
Listening to this has made me check through some old elctro tracks, if you like this, check out a track called Music by Syncbeat. I first heard it on uk electro .
Anyway back to the SMurf, what a classic and untouchable.
Will someone please post a video showing folks how the smurf dance was done...coz there are a bunch of messed up, piss poor videos on YT with some lame azz non-smurf dancin fools. Please show em how it's done son.
VINTAGE N.Y.C. MATERAL.... just funky ahhh Frankie Crocker the chief rocker would jamm this & many more undergound tunes....R.I.P. bru & im sure you are jamming the air waves in heaven...keep the SMOKIN tunes flowin PR4DA! Peace & 1 love!
Awh naw I have been looking for this song for a while.. it was one of the best skate jams of the 80's and we tore it up.. please believe me at Skate Land Tulsa Oklahoma.. including Kleer- intatment connection, Juicy- sugarfree, SOS- hi hopes and more..
Classic! Love it, thanks for posting!
