[rocker26a]

Haters gonna hate.

[kathrynj60]

[galenmark]

Hit me, hurt me, beat me.....make me write big checks!

[sonolaziapina]

[realise3d]

@sonolaziapina Out of Sight.

[zikman01]

@sonolaziapina The first episode of Malcolm In The Middle.

[GaaraFredNorrisPro]

@sonolaziapina Muppets in Space and Austin Powers

[aplusproductionscwu]

This is my thing.

[tipofmytongue1024]

The sing off...that's all.

[Montegoman66]

Lmao @ Elaine's thang...everybody take a step back and give that girl room!

[nanaeva1]

[Zonderloki]

[jody808]

"you know Elaine, it's your thang, do what you want to do" says Jerry, lol

[sexpistolsdaz]

Oh God imagine seeing these dudes back in the day. That would be better than scoring the winning goal in the World Cup Final whilst dressed as Spiderman on a Harley Davidson high on coke whilst kissing a really red hot chick. Brilliant.

[jillianchamberlin]

@sexpistolsdaz well that's specific hahaha

[sassi90071]

the intro is off the chain...it's my thang...smile

[Imptheshrimp]

Oh my god this song is totally about dicks.

[Buckeyecat2002]

"It's My Thing," Marva Whitney, co-written by the Isley Brothers, per court order.

[TKramar]

we say this at work...

"hey, it's your thing, do what you wanna do." Our boss lets us do the work the way we know how to do it and doesn't hassle us.

[bengreens]

I used to have two transistor radios in the late 60s; this was one of those songs that demanded both radios be turned up all the way and applied directly to ears. Still is . . .

[mkl62]

A #1 hit for The Isley Brothers on the Rhythm & Blues charts. It was the 193rd #1 R&B song of the Rock Era. It also hit #2 on the Top 40 charts and #30 in the United Kingdom. Artists back then made you feel something with their music, unlike today's wanna-be's.

[StukInBuf]

I first recall this song in the Pearle optical ads in 1989 or so.

[Classicprettyboyprep]

Ayeeeeee I love this fuking song... Do what you wanna do dah fuk yall know about the Isley Brothers 

[kinetic3rdeye]

Dyke....



[DOCTOR562]

JULIE DRYFES WAS CRAZYMHOT ON SEINFIELD, SHE''S STILL HOT 2O YEARS LATER

[legunncat]

For some reason, I find Elaine oddly attractive in this video.

[caesarborgia2003]

Filthy.............

[75tm400]

Thumbs up if you just heard Fred Sanford (Redd Foxx) sing this song on Sanford & Son.

[Vittoria10538]

@75tm400 omg, that's exactly why I had this song in my head this morning and searched for it!

[workitjtworkit]

It's called the "little kicks" not the "tiny steps!"--Seinfeld Fan! I'm just being an ass! Great job and thanks for posting!

[Sybenett]

Once again Mrs. Sally Mae Isley's boys, the classic.  No Jay-Z, No Kanye East, just Ron.

[marslover5]

my kind of jam.

[henshinman]

@marslover5 i feel that

[sspsllc]

Hit me band, LOL!

[Hoerbeg]

Came here because of Muppets From Space. Enjoyable.

[mkl62]

5-21-2011. Happy 70th Birthday to you, Ron. You all will always be one of the all-times greatest groups of all time. To you wanna-be's of today: This is how it's done. Many happy returns, Ron.

[EatinCactus]

OMG! Thankyou for posting this!!!! This brings back great memories. My siblings would do the "sock it to me" and "the skate" dances off this song!!!

[demon4411]

[thedizzit]

[yogiethebear1]

This is still a hit and one of the best jams love it!

[Topshelftom1]

@yogiethebear1 Can I give you a blowjob to the beat of The Isley brothers?Tom Diehl

[mabey202]

i didnt realize how many classic song the isley brothers made all generations of them

[hughkelly1993]

OMG. The dancing Elaine is killing me.

[fagnerdsc]

Fantastico!!!

[GiovanniWacasa]

they always say you cant beat an original (version) and i guess that statement is justified here but young MJ did well in his cover tho.

[fudgepackor]

Anyone know where I can get the Norman Cook remix?

[willmymon]

if it aint funky it aint right !!!!!!!

[cpufightclub]

If God were a song, he'd be this song.

[kmp3000]

Good tune.

[J4K31]

[Selena91895]

[dtfrombtown]

Oh my god. That is some funky shit. Imagine if some Jehovah's witnesses rolled up on that shit!

[Multi1628]

THANK YOU for postiing classic dance track - the ISLEY BROTHERS are the greatest!

DAVEDJ

[te4888]

man, listen at that band. there's no music like this anymore.

[sankofauhuru]

lmho @ Elaine, who did this, I usually don't do comments but this is hilarious

[moveupnotdown]

My mom get on me about my music ( I WAS BORN IN THE 80S, IT WASN'T THE BEST MUSIC, BUT IT WAS BETTER THEN THE 90S AND THE 2000'S) But don't get me wrong, talk all you want about our songs is all about sex, is it me or is this song about hoing around. Be for you get mad, I love this song, one of there best if you ask me, BUT WHAT IS IT TALKING ABOUT. LOL JUST HAVE FUN WITH YOU ALL

[bestoftimes1976]

[msmocha1967]

y must i watch elaine from seinfeld dance on this video it looks like shes havin a seizure r a fit lmao

[pyannaguy]

Eric Clapton says he learned a whole lot about guitar-playing by listening to this over and over!

Sweet! And those vocals!!

[sandinyourshoes]

@pyannaguy, I believe that 100%.  His first solo album has quite a bit of brass that blends in so well with the guitar. "Lonesome and a Long Way from Home" come to mind.

[ladyeulailia]

My BIL was telling me he PREFERRED TO BUY GAS FROM BP so I sent him this

[SonnyGTA]

HAHA!!  ELAINE!

[MyPCStory]

hahahaha, love it.

[antblue363]

Yea its funky but genuine funk has the flute played in it .

[supacooper34]

i wish i was there to help you up mama!

[musochic16]

this song is awesome!!!

[daddyoj]

Guitar jump is so on the money, drums are full funk syncopation, voice is great work-- but the wall of horns does it for me here take us where we never been, JB knew this too called it the tower of power for a reason. Have a listen isolating on them cool.

[LEA09100]

What album is this from?

[mikekadas]

A classic 5 star song: It's Your Thing - The Isley Brothers [Cincinnati, Ohio]- No.02 on 3/29/1969. 12 weeks Top 40. - "Gold hit. #1 R&B hit (4 weeks). AMG Pick. One of their BEST and a favorite of mine." - It's Your Thing: The Story Of The Isley Brothers [Box Set] (Sony)-1999.

[matthew550]

those wailing guitars...those horns...oh my god this feels good

[detroit83stang]

Great tune! Booker T & the MG's do a cover of this that will blow your mind, but it's a rare gem.

[kdd3051]

"ish yo thing, do what you wanna do now, i can't tell you who to sock it to....must have danced to this song a hundred times, i was a teenager and "sock it to you baby" was a hugggge saying..love the Isley bros

[autumnreign86]

lol @ elaine

[qwerly45]

Cant define funk but you damn know it when you hear it.

[endoftheworld9]

damn!! that's the best definition I've heard on youtube! right friikkin on!

[FredFerdberger]

damn straight

[thechewydude]

Ah, well.. whenever your hips start movin: it's funk.

[TheBluesguy62154]

@qwerly45 ..So true..

[michaeljamsmith]

@qwerly45 I live in a paralell universe. Lots of music if funky, but to me its only funk if Bootsy Collins is playing bass. If you listen any funky song, you have this funky bass line always heavy on the one. Bootsy plays in all these weird places. Bootsy plays so strange that he can make Catfish sound funky when he is playing a straight 4 to the bar chink.

[iswc27]

This was the biggest (and in my opinion best)hit of the Isleys' career, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1969 and certified gold. It goes great with Elaine's little kicks! Thanks for sharing!

[hardcorehouse]

One of THE top funk tracks of all time, PERIOD.

[closertotheheart]

The little kicks!

[BLACKFLAGS20]

yo if u really think about it.. the isley brothers made more hits than alot of bands.. and they still tourin... DAMN
