Loved it when it came out ....loved the sample hook... never really liked the video except for the Charlie Brown Shirted DJ and Mr UofMiami even though I cant stand that school. Overall still a classic and no one else took such a classic and made it the hook of their song and their career.
Always loved this version of the tune. What I didn`t like was when I bought it and it was different. I hate it when artists do a tune and the video version of the tune is different than the album version. I remember also at the time looking for a Charlie Brown shirt but couldn`t find one. Then in the late 90`s I found one and bought it, cept for mine had the zig zag pattern at the stomach level, the same as Charlie Brown.
Hey, you racist fuck. The only one who needs to be put back in line is YOU. The line that leads straight to hell. Take your stupid, skank ass back to the trailer park where you belong and get back to sucking your daddy's cock. Keep your racist filth off of youtube.
it's funny how tracks don't sound as you remember them, I remember this being a bit faster (maybe that was the live version). Took me forever to find the Ray Barretto original. Saw UDS at the Masquerade (Atlanta) for this tour...amazing show.
Maaaan, the early 90s were a great time to be in your late teens or early 20s. The vibe was so laid back and mellow, the tunes were great, and the clothes were comfortable.
@Brandxisor I don't know about that "laid-back" vibe -- the early 90's is when gangsta rap hit its stride and that whiny angsty "I'm gonna slit my wrists to a heavy guitar soundtrack" crap came belching forth from Seattle onto MTV.
17 people had a shallow shade of soul.................this is truly a classic from '89! I skated back then and we never knew where that pool was????????????
@AltGrow ,,HAHAAAAA!!!,,YEEEAAAHHHH!!..Summer of 89!!..There we go my friend!!..Song came out whn I was livin up in Boston 4 the summer!!..Would come back from class on a Fri. night to the Dorm & this song would just be flowing out every window with people everywhere getting ready 4 another great weekend in Beantown!!..AHHHH GREAT MEMORIES ALL AROUND!!!
@Nolan7459 A love for music,videogames,movies,art knows no age bro..im going to be 40 and have grown up on american culture from MTV to Pacman to Hammer and MJ and everything from then till now..Awesome joint is awesome.
does anybody else here songs from when they came up and remember how young dumb and inmature they were...its hysterical...but at the time you think you know it all...
Mental Floss is one of the great, great lost classics. People forget but when this came out in the hey day of new jack, shoulder pad r&b, and the first wave of oppressive gangsta, everyone with musical ears knew about it and rethought their possibilities. De La, Tribe, and Beasties lost their drum machines; Red Hots and Faith No More type bands came to the fore, and the table was set for all the rap variations that came after, like Beck and Sublime. The shadow of that album looms large to th
final dos anos 80, usando mad rats no pé, berma da sims, camiseta momento angular, e um bom shaper gringo, é isso que me recordo ao ouvir esse som, viagem.....
The Squad rules man, one of the greatest dutch bands ever... way ahead of their time, and Rude boy is still kickin in 2010 with his new projects! love man!
summer of 1990, great time to be alive, I was 14 and MTV set the tone for everything, wish it was still watchable, oh well. great song by the way. thanks for the post
