Of course I know that one too, but if I remember correctly Casper's Groovy Ghost Show is from 1980. Anyway definitely not 1978! Still a great song though.

Yes, I remember this song in the summer of 1979 2 months before Rapper's Delight was around. There was this dance called the Punk, and we used to do it to this song. Also, when the CNE in Toronto opened, they had an outside roller skating area and this song was one of the songs we did the "rubber legs" to. The hard rockers loved this song too because it was good to skate to, and all this was happening before Rapper's Delight was out. This is real classic street Funk.

OMG!!! One of my classmates, Geraldine, and I performed a dance routine to this song at a high school talent show at Marvell High School in Marvell, Arkansas in Fall of 1979. One of my favorite songs of all time!

...I thought Jimmy Castor Bunch, "King Kong" was the first recorded rap song ??

I remember people saying that Sugar Hill Gang was the first....they didn't know about this one! FBB made a song with the phrase: Jump up like a disco pup and go down like a disco clown.....anybody know the name of that one? I think it was the same album...idk

all right you chilluns, gather round uncle tinsley and let me tell you about a time when the airwaves came alive with THIS sound. There I was, 18 years old, just graduated HS and BAAAM, this dropped on the radio and we kids went nutz ! It spread like wildfire at summer parties, the park (FYI little bwaa, that's where we showed off our hoopdies), playing in the record stores & everywhere !! Now sit cho ass down, shut up & learn some rap history...know it all whippa-snappas...
