I knew that there was no way in hell this generation would connect to this song. It is so specific to that time period you you have to have grown up in that time period. I couldn’t wait til the barking I knew he was going to be like WTF 😂😂😂😂. I nearly fell off my chair with laughter hysterical. This was one of my all time favorites. Love this song.

​​@@spotlYghtseeker I am 21 and grew up with this song because of my dad, my uncle, and my cousins they played this all the time when my siblings and I were little so we picked up on the same taste of music my whole play list is 50s 60s 70s 80s and 90s music with all genres.

Yes, exactly but the thing that really was hysterical. Was when they had all the farm sounds like on the remix. I was just waiting for this kid to see and hear the part with the dog and I was like rolling on the floor laughing my ass off because I could tell he just wanted to bust out laughing because it’s just like I just knew that the reaction was going to be like what the F is this, so imagine if he heard that version with all the farm animals oh my God yeah definitely this type of song is so particular to that time. I don’t think that it would resonate with anybody of this generation, but this is my favorite song way better than planet rock.

Yes, you would hear this kind of beat playing from all the council housing around london where two years before it was all reggae

Agreed. Students were pounding out the beats on their desks. High School drum sections played them all. Kids were making mix tapes with these songs.....Planet Rock, Planet Patrol, Looking for the Perfect Beat, Egyptian Lover, etc...

@@jamesbryant6830 so true

A party or a breakdance battle! I was involved in a lot of them! I can still do some of the moves I did back then, it just hurts to do them now. 😂

Yes!!! Crucial song in the soundtrack of my life growing up in Brooklyn 🗽🗽🗽 STILL blast this 😊

Along with a piece of cardboard! ☺️

This generation does not produce a lot of dance music with a driving beat or groove beat. They listen and sing to the rap today they don’t really dance to it. That’s why you see a lot of todays professional dancers dancing to old tracks fro MJ ETC

Yes!!!😂😂

OMG Yeah 😂

🤣

Bl@ck? Maybe you dont know regarding their producers...look at the song's history. Their producers/arrangers are musical masters, indeed, and anything but bl@ck, but anyways we are in the age of cultural aproppiation. And that without looking at b-boying and graffiti. Racism from any side just tarnish that golden era where anyone can became a star. Hip hop began as as melting pot. Just ask Mr. Wiggles, Mr. Wave, Poppin Taco or Crazy Legs💁‍♂️.

@@warpos It is black. Although Arthur Baker produced it, Afrika Bambaataa directed the programmer to program the beat. The melody was influenced by Kraftwerk's "Trans-Europe Express" . Robert Palmer of The New York Times as "perhaps the most influential black pop record of 1982". The culture is black, with outside influences. I was of the Times. I noticed that you find the term black offensive, that's why you deliberately misspelt it. This is of my time. If you don't believe me, watch the documentary 808. Electro-funk is black, Hip-Hop's origins are black (Kool Herc), youth culture is black, all new musical art forms are black. Other nationalities are always welcome. In everything we create as black people, we welcome everybody. Our creative force is undenyable and formidable.

That is correct. I have the masters of planet rock and you can hear Play at your own risk in the background of the tracks.

It still is new achool bboys dont know hwo to chop off heads to the classics :)

It was the jam period.

This was John Robie and Arthur Baker, same guys that made Planet Rock - also hear their New Order remixes, same drum machines and synths patterns. That typical electro beat that everybody was copying in 1982 came originally from Kraftwerk's Numbers

@@modifiedcontent love the knowledge! I was almost going to mention Kraftwerk to react to! Boing boom chock or It’s nirva to compute

@@modifiedcontent Those same guys behind "I.O.U." by Freeeze. I have the master tape recordings of Planet Rock. If you listen close in those tracks, you hear faintly in the background the music of Play at your own risk. They re used that track by Planet Patrol to make Planet Rock.

Those songs will absolutely do it!! 😊 Brings me right back to the Roll A Palace in Brooklyn ❤️

@@jacqueline4514 my was the roller gardens in mn. r.i.p closed down for good last yr. it was the biggest rink in the twin city area + the oldest been around since the 30's i was 2nd gen. and last. my parents were 1st gen. not many known prince skated there and was good at it too in the 70s think i'm b.sing you check out the song gangsta glam in the video his dancers curt, .damion & tony m were on roller blades. in the late 80's i got to hang with them 1 time. was blessed to in the mist of the mn music seen i got to know and meet other mn artists. like jimmy jam got to talk to at 1st ave and other mn artists. i was a dj & i was blessed to be guess dj at prince club glam slam many times thank to prince main dj doug d. from the late 70's to 2000 was the best time of my life so many great memories thank to the mn. music seen back then.

It was extremely creative back in that day because the part of the music it literally sounds like he’s Morris coding and it’s like supposed to be like this like planetary space things so I’m sure it’s really corny to the kids off today but back then it was like really cool

I had the pleasure of talking to Michael Johnson of the Jonzun Crew last year when trying to get in touch with his brother Larry Johnson aka Maurice Starr, the producer of New Kids on the Block and New Edition. Michael is a great guy. We spoke for over 2 hours about their music in the Jonzun Crew.
