"I said i put both my feet down, and still i didn't get the point. I guess the referee, musta been smokin' a joint."...one of the best song lyrics out there. LOL.
luv ya blue!!! show h-town some luv... we got robbed in the 1979 afc championship game against the steelers. should've had instant replay. bum said we are gonna kick that son of a bitch in next year.. I see someone just got "tebowed" 45-10....michael henderson put some funk on this jam(1980).
this song was in reference to the 1979 afc championship game between the oilers/steelers. Mike Renfro had a apparent touchdown. But the refs saw otherwise. The Oilers should have been going to the Super Bowl that year. Bum Phillips made a statement at a Pep Rally in the Astrodome. He said that the next year we where gonna kick that "SOB" in. I watched the game. Earl Campbell was one of my favorite players. Michael Henderson also appeared on Soul Train in 1980 doing "Wide Receiver".
This brings back memories. In junior high school, girls wore shirts that said "I'm a Wide Receiver." From ironed-on stencils. I thought it was nasty then and I guess it was? Lol.
I recall in the summer of 1980, going to the record store with my older brother and one of my cousins to go by "Wide Receiver", Zapp's "More Bounce To The Ounce" and Cameo's "Cameosis" albums. They had a big poster of Prince for his up coming third album release called "Dirty Mind" with him wearing the trench coat & briefs. We all looked in shocked at the poster and said "WTF happen to Prince?!!!" Lol!! Damn! this song takes me back, 1980 was definitely a good year for great music!
I was the one who gave the ref a joint in the first play...I really dig this going back in the day..but now I'm more of a "tight end" then wide receive..
his song was a party club song...it was the jam. We could care less if it was about football! I had to look this song up and hear it again as I watched USC and Notre Dame this evening! Oct.22 2011. GO Trojans! Serious note.. this song has a sexual ,drug and homosexual connotations truly a song is for all personality types..because I guess we all have that one thing in common? We all wanna be hit by a wide receiver.. not in the literal sense. Listen and learn.
@philipbourne If it had poor written lyrics and came out in present day music, yes. However this song is about a football game that pissed all the fans off.
@philipbourne NO. It's a reference to a bad call during the playoffs in the late 70's. My guess is the portrayal of the tight end is his way of calling him a fag. Oilers/Steelers
oh and the line "the last time we knocked on the door the next ime we're gonna kick the sob in" This was their second time in a row I believe, being knocked out by the Steelers in the playoffs.
The "Thanks Mean Joe" line was from a '79 commercial, Steelers. The song was released in 80. Now the gay references. Can you think of a better way to call some of the players fags. I don't know any of this artist music but this song was brilliant. Stop bogarting that joint sister!
You guys are so funny. Gay song? Apparently the lyrics went over most peoples head. True there are gay references but first things first. This song was released directly after a bad call in the playoffs for the superbowl between The Houston Oilers and The Steelers '79. They were tied in the 3rd quarter but a catch by the Oilers was called out of bounds, the reply showed otherwise. lyrics " I got both my feet down and sill I didn't get the point" "the referee must have been smokin a joint"
@MrMallymal68 I have my copy of this release. A near pristine 45 rpm with matching jacket that I bought brand new when it was released. Label clearly has a date of 1980.
Michael Henderson is a funk genius. I know because I co-wrote "Wide Receiver".
I'm the guitarist on the track and I played in his band for 6 years. People didn't realize how incredible a talent he was. Bass player for Stevie Wonder at 13, Bassist for Miles Davis while still in his teens. Need I say more?
@RandyJacobsMusic If you're who you say you are - Yeah I know exactly who you're talking about and who you are. No. No need to say more. And may I add, you REALLY throw down on this one. Thanks. I've loved this song for about 30 years...
@RandyJacobsMusic You're on this track?! Man, come sign my album! :-) Where are you located, and are you available? I'm actually putting an old-school funk band together right now, and lemme tell you it's hard to find a true funk guitarist. Plz message me even if it's just to say "no thanks". :-) RE: Michael, lemme tell you, some of us certainly do know what a talent he was/is. His playing undoubtedly influenced my decision to play bass.
But its the so-called motown sound from the 60s which is nothing like funk; of which I prefer funk so much more.
It just so happens that newer bands and entertainers from Detroit aren't even anywhere near as good. Just a reminder on how run down many parts of Detroit are. I don't want run-down areas to ruin music; but unfortunately they have; and I hate how Justin Beiber validates it; along with the Lady Gaga nonsense.
@SamuraiClinton How do you know so much about the Detroit Music scene when you haven't step foot in the D? You would absolutely loose your mind if you had that experience! I can tell you are a youngster with limited musical taste and knowledge by your references to Beiber, Gaga and funk. Yeah the D is lil grimmy, but so are the people here. You couldn't walk through the D with a hall pass! We'll take your lunch money, everyday!
This is a great example of PURE FUNK. It is a collage of random references laid over driving rhythmic grove and a gangster bass line. And he is tossing all kinds of subliminal references in this soup. Like the Sports overlay with the Gay underplay . So talented.
I remember loving this back in the day. Thanks to the internet, we can travel back in time and listen to old stuff we have forgotten about. I never understand why people like Michael Henderson weren't as successful as they should have been considering the great music they put out.
I caught him sticking a microphone up Larry Craig's highly orgasmic butthole in an airport bathroom the other day. Larry Craig had a scandal for lewd conduct in 2007 because it was an anomaly since the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport bathroom was prone to other gay dudes being there to begin with. But Larry Craig got off easy this time since there was no sting in the John that Michael Henderson took a dump in. Gay sex sure does feel good.
The MUSIC from our era, is so much better than 2days noise. I feel funny and old saying it cause I was born in1969 and even claimed to be a rapper for more years than I should have but now I realize I just missed that funky MUSIC I grew up on and with. I live in Vegas too and a GOOD FUNK BAND WOULD REALLY MAKE A KILLING OUT HERE.
@FireitupBedford Actually it's "Last year we knocked on the door, this year we beat on the door, next year we gon' kick the som bitch in! ---Bum Phillips head coach of the Houston Oilers
Ya know......I was just a little boy when this song came out . I loved the song, I was so sure this song was about football and candy.....you know ..sometimes you feel like a nut ? Had no idea that Mike was singing about Man Balls.... LOL To each his or hers own.....I am a grown ass man now and I still like the song Butt...any ladies wanna play FOOT & BALLS wit me.....Hike dat ball girl !!!
One thing we definitely know about Mike is that he couldn't possibly have been self-concious. To be able to sing like he does at 3:10 to 3:34 and 6:40 to 6:46, YOU GOTSTA TO GET UGLY!!! You can't sing like that by keepin' a straight or tryin' to be cool. :-) See that's what's wrong with too many young singers now...they're either to self-concious to REALLY get down...or they're UGLY at the wrong time.
To the person who like to buttfuck you are just plain nasty ,wide reciever is a football song from back in the day,now what if i said booo-ya that's what you call teabagging when i put my ball's in your mouth hahaha
We are so gonna drop our balls into diarrhea stu when we put this song at FULL BLAST for the new year tonight! GET IT: drop balls? If you don't, you are probably gonna be too grossed out about what I am about to talk about here (or something I already mentioned here).
My morbidly gay nigger friends like to have hardcore buttfucking gay nigger sex when they put this song at FULL BLAST. It is a disgusting orgy of buttfuck, but licking balls with liquid feces brings it to a whole new level!
@GayNiggerSex you're fagot that like to take it up the ass, that's why when you hear this song it makes you think of sex. maybe you would have liked it if your boyfriend had wrote it for you.
I'm checking out this funky Michael Henderson joint and I look at the comments and I see this?!? With all due respect, GayNiggerSex, but you can keep that "In between shit that really don't mean shit" out of the discussion. Real Talk.
Another ?uestion: WHAT DOES WHAT YOU DO HAVE TO DO WITH THE SONG??
This is the explosive diarrhea theme for niggers to touch multiple penises in an orgy of hardcore buttfucking gay nigger sex to when at FULL BLAST!!!!!
I think its funny when a gay nigger has a bloody rectum and when I see the toilet flood after flushing an oversized, red turd from a bleeding rectum that was punctured by sharp objects during an orgy of gay nigger sex!
funk is the best genre of songs to put at FULL BLAST during orgies of gay nigger sex!
@GayNiggerSex You could've kept all of that, dude...Indignity has nothing to do with how you may feel,descriptively, about funk music. And, TRUST ME, gay black men wouldn't use a username such as yours (so WHAT are you?) or speak offensively about an area of themselves that brings upon them FIERCE scrutiny & ridicule. It's very sad that you felt you had to be that way towards a people & a genre. Your loss on both...
@STLHouseLegend Don't get me wrong. I still like funk, which is a genre made by negros!
I am just into buttfucking gay black dudes, that putting funk records at FULL BLAST just makes our orgasms more effective since the room vibrates so much and stimulates our nervous systems.
@GayNiggerSex You give gay black men a VERY BAD name, Your comments are vulvar and not in good taste. You are quite the nasty one. FUNK IS HERE TO STAY !
I do not offend simply because I have no respect for others; but rather I just think that YouTube needs some shock jocks to make racist comments just to put shits and giggles into the comedy entertainment market since some think racism is funny. If you think about how Howard Stern sometimes says "nigger", even though his assistant Robin is black, it'll tell ya something!
Besides, I'm black myself; I just act like a white racist for shock laugh
Now this is what real funk supposed 2 be. A nice freestyle form.This was our Psychadelic and Acid-Rock.Something both Lenny Kravitz,Terence Trent D'arby and Living Colour still stay true 2 our funk roots.And Thanks 4 Jimi Hendrix,Miles Davis,John Coltrane,Parliament,Ohio Players,Michael Jackson,Bob Marley,War,Cameo<Ray Parker Jr ', Prince and let's not 4get if it weren't 4 the Godfather of Soul[James Brown],Where would we be?Just Lost People.
@TheZenmaster46 ZenMaster, or should I say Funkmaster. your dead ass right! Why this type of funk has been overidden by all that weak pathetic hip hop rap crap that is on the radio today is unbelievable. This funk is the real deal with real musicians and geniune creativity that is so lacking in todays black music.
You'll be surprised how many DJs have this song available in their record repositories. However, I think the future should have DJs rely on YouTube availability (or some on-demand music website) rather than carry a library of their own, that is how wired the world is now.
Not even getting this song to be heard more will get people to value funk more than hip hop.
The dig at Marvin Gaye in the intro was not cool. It was assumed after the commercial failure of "Here, My Dear" and the brick that was "Ego Trippin' Out", that Marvin had lost his super powers. Then came "Sexual Healing"!
Marvin told author David Ritz that he saw Michael Henderson as threat and one of the guys he had to win his fans back from. He definitely kicked MPG when he was down.
I'm 21, and I be playing this damn song in my car. It so damn funky. I think it's perhaps the funkiest song to come out in the 80's. The beginning is so funny.
I like how he said "You not half the man you used to be".
This is an AWESOME song for me to thrust a q-tip up my dickhole to. Such dillweeds like me are the type who get gay with funk musicians since gay nigger sex feels so good.
I used to buttfuck my friend Karl Slasher, who keeps talking about it on this video. He likes have gay nigger orgies with this song at FULL BLAST, thats why I keep hearing it.
He must have been watching the LIONS game...I had both my feet down but still didn't get the point....the referee must've been smokin' a joint (he was with me!)
ok ok i'm still waiting damn it. i'm waiting for the funk of the 70's-80's to make a come back. man this is the music we would get our dance on back in the day.it was all about dancing and chasing the females & vice versa.now today all the youngsters think music like this is whack or old. what a bunch of bullshit.i'm 43 & i tried to instill this music into my kids,but it just does'nt work 99.5% of the time. lil wayne,souljah boy, & the other popcorn,thugged out,plastic garbage they call music.
If U Listen To The Lyrics: "I Had Both My Feet, Down But Still I Did"nt Get D Point, The Referee Must"ve Been Smokin A Joint." I Know He Was Referring To The 1979 AFC Championship Game Between The Steelers And The Oilers(RIP) Where We Also Got Screwed. Yeah, Im From H-Town Still Bothers Me 30 Yrs Later. Great Song Though!
@heyroz27 the call was so bad it was used by proponets of instant replay to push there agenda when the nfl was debating on incorporating instant replay
@kirkindog I'm hip! And he even throws in the Bum Philips line "this year we beat on the door, next year we're gonna kick the SOB in!" I was at the Astrodome when the team returned from Pittsburgh after the game. It's bad enough to play them in Pittsburgh but to get cheated in the process is too much to overcome. It was horrible. I've hated the Steelers ever since. 30 years...wow!
@kirkindog im 42 homie and i remember that game fa sho & imma go as far as saying nearly the whole song is about the Oilers cuz if im not mistaken didn't the head coach Bum Phillips also say in the song "last year we knocked of the door and next year we gonna kick the son-of-B((*&tch in" rite? haha ps. Earl Campbell was one of coolest Full Backs eva!!!
@kittyslasher wow do you know that the way Detroit is portraded in news is not at all what its like there? But observing your comment means ethier you've never live there a day in your judgemental life or your just trying to put Detroit in a scenario that not at all true. You can pick which one I could care less, but if your not from there you can't talk on it, keep on your city and leave mines alone.
The beginning to this song is so damn funky and funny. This song came out 9 years before I was born. It's great and funky. I wish I was 21 back then to be dancing to this.
@TAMCLIF92 I think high school dances would restore order to sound code if this song came back to high school dances (or if similar sound code was implemented for the 2010s).
heres the thing:
funk > hip hop (even if hip hop initially honored funk)
Oooooh Weee! This was the joint that ripped the walls down in the clubs!!!! LOL I was 16 with a fake ID enjoyin every minute of it. I had my Mom's Toyota Celica and $40 for the weekend. I was good to go, bro!!!! Now only if I could figure a way to sneek my girlfriend out the house then...Classic!!!!!
This is not our version of America anymore, Samurai--the world has moved on..and rap is the new way for those who perhaps cannot sing but are excellent lyricists. As for the content--they did not learn it in a vacuum. We set the stage with Parliament and other songs and most black musics focus on sex--"freaks" was destined to become ho's..and Pusherman, eventually paved the way for the 'pusher' to tell his side of the story. Why complain? I am tickled that this gen. reveres our time/music
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy a blast from the past ya'll was just watching the old soul trains and they were dancin to this in the soul train line, gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme dat heyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of the greatest funk songs in the history of the genre, without question, argument, or denial.
The first time I heard this song, I went nuts trying to find it. I am so glad I know the name and artist now.
The Mattel Electronic Football II sampling makes it even more epic and awesome. This song is made of so much WIN that it makes lose seem virtually nonexistent.
Thank you VERY much for uploading it. This is the music of champions... not like this crap we have nowadays.
I'm going to put the "Wide Receiver" song at FULL BLAST while I have hardcore buttfucking gay nigger sex with my morbidly gay nigger friends!
My hood thinks hip hop is too overrated, this is why Michael Henderson provides the real jungle beat compared to creeps like Kanye and 50 Cent. Because gay nigger sex can rally on to funk better than hip hop!
"I said i put both my feet down, and still i didn't get the point. I guess the referee, musta been smokin' a joint."...one of the best song lyrics out there. LOL.

Larry Craig had a scandal for lewd conduct in 2007 because it was an anomaly since the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport bathroom was prone to other gay dudes being there to begin with. But Larry Craig got off easy this time since there was no sting in the John that Michael Henderson took a dump in. Gay sex sure does feel good.

The MUSIC from our era, is so much better than 2days noise. I feel funny and old saying it cause I was born in1969 and even claimed to be a rapper for more years than I should have but now I realize I just missed that funky MUSIC I grew up on and with. I live in Vegas too and a GOOD FUNK BAND WOULD REALLY MAKE A KILLING OUT HERE.

One thing we definitely know about Mike is that he couldn't possibly have been self-concious. To be able to sing like he does at 3:10 to 3:34 and 6:40 to 6:46, YOU GOTSTA TO GET UGLY!!! You can't sing like that by keepin' a straight or tryin' to be cool. :-) See that's what's wrong with too many young singers now...they're either to self-concious to REALLY get down...or they're UGLY at the wrong time.

This is the explosive diarrhea theme for niggers to touch multiple penises in an orgy of hardcore buttfucking gay nigger sex to when at FULL BLAST!!!!!
I think its funny when a gay nigger has a bloody rectum and when I see the toilet flood after flushing an oversized, red turd from a bleeding rectum that was punctured by sharp objects during an orgy of gay nigger sex!
funk is the best genre of songs to put at FULL BLAST during orgies of gay nigger sex!

@GayNiggerSex You could've kept all of that, dude...Indignity has nothing to do with how you may feel,descriptively, about funk music. And, TRUST ME, gay black men wouldn't use a username such as yours (so WHAT are you?) or speak offensively about an area of themselves that brings upon them FIERCE scrutiny & ridicule. It's very sad that you felt you had to be that way towards a people & a genre. Your loss on both...

I used to request this song at many dancehalls!
You'll be surprised how many DJs have this song available in their record repositories. However, I think the future should have DJs rely on YouTube availability (or some on-demand music website) rather than carry a library of their own, that is how wired the world is now.
Not even getting this song to be heard more will get people to value funk more than hip hop.

The dig at Marvin Gaye in the intro was not cool. It was assumed after the commercial failure of "Here, My Dear" and the brick that was "Ego Trippin' Out", that Marvin had lost his super powers. Then came "Sexual Healing"!
Marvin told author David Ritz that he saw Michael Henderson as threat and one of the guys he had to win his fans back from. He definitely kicked MPG when he was down.

This is not our version of America anymore, Samurai--the world has moved on..and rap is the new way for those who perhaps cannot sing but are excellent lyricists. As for the content--they did not learn it in a vacuum. We set the stage with Parliament and other songs and most black musics focus on sex--"freaks" was destined to become ho's..and Pusherman, eventually paved the way for the 'pusher' to tell his side of the story. Why complain? I am tickled that this gen. reveres our time/music
