Watch the "Recycling" ad on this page:

Anyone know the artist/track info?

 

[Sladeophile]

Ha, I've been wondering that myself. Hence my breakdance recommendations request in the music forum...

Very early 80's... Major break dance...like Excel F...music from "Breakin'..." take a pic, all of them sounded like that back then... I have a lot of them on cassette and LP, lol.

Sounds like it might be Herbie Hancock, from Future Shock. It sounds a LOT like "Rockit," but I know that song very well from watching MTV all the time when it was released, and I know it is not "Rockit." But either someone was ripping off the Herbie Hancock style, or it's one of his from the same era...I think...

 

[AuroraProject]

Same era, and yes it does have a strong similarity to Rockit, but it's not.

So, did you start this thread to quiz us (i.e., you know the artist and title) or because you don't know and you want to find out??

 

[AuroraProject]

I don't know who the artist is, and would like to find out.

So this song is pretty bad, you know as in good, until they start "rapping".??? Wow, that's about the worst I've ever heard. Sounds like a bunch of white boys from Utah, and I am seriously not kidding one bit. Too bad they had to ruin some cool beats. Listen for a laugh, but it burns...

You think thats long? Check out "Rappers Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang.

I LOVE Rapper's Delight! Was in high school when it came out, and everyone in my white bread community was memorizing the lyrics and rapping them out from time to time...pretty funny to see people like the captain of the football team doing this, LOL.
