I’m 59 years old and still drive my car with all of the windows rolled down, singing this song at the top of my lungs. And I don’t care who sees me.

The anthem of middle-aged women everywhere....Brickhouse comes on and WE ARE ON THE FLOOR! Dancing and shaking what our mama gave us!

31Morons disliked this song? WTF is wrong with you, I'm an old-time-white geezer but this tune could wake up the dead !

This was the song at the skating rink when it came out. The floor would be packed! Middle school days in full effect!

Oh yeah! How many people have spontaneously burst out into this song each time they heard the words “brick house” for the past 40 years?

FYI: Lionel Ritchie was the lead singer of the Commodores

The 70’s was the best decade for music.

If you were sitting in a club and this song came on, everyone would run to the dance floor without saying a word!! Good memories!!!!!

How about “Play That Funky Music” by Wild Cherry

It’s not a banger until: Fred 🗣Okay!! Tim 🗣YEAH!! ❤️

this song was spinning in every club, every night.

"Brick house" meaning she's well built, is an old expression

The novelty of watching these two never wears off🙏🏻 Music truly is the only universal language 🎶

They don't realize that when these songs came out, the only option was listening to them on the radio in your car or in the home or club. There was no mobile device you carried to school with you.

No matter where I am when this song comes on, I dance. And I’m a 68 year old great grandma. Been dancing and singing to it for 30 years!!! ❣️❣️

70 years old and still lovin this song ...takes me back to the good old days when Motown Ruled !!!

House parties, clubs, dances, kickbacks, joyriding, bbq's, cleaning up the house,, reunions, etc. We danced hard to this and everyone was slim back then. There was no limit as to when or where to listen to this uplifting music!!! Good times... Gotta love the twins❣

If you remember doing a reaction to Lionel Richie "Hello" ...he was the lead singer of the Commodores

People danced at the disco's with this song

Lionel Ritchie and the Commodores absolutely Shredded it. When Musicians actually played instruments, and knew how to entertain

Lionel Ritchie’s mom was so mad at him for this song, because the expression is “built like a brick sh*t house.” They used the horn in place of the cuss word. She said to her son, “Now how can I hold my head up in church when you all are singing about brick.. houses?!”

Everyone grooves to Brick House when it comes on...can't help it 😂

I was in high school when this was out. People danced the “bump” to this.the funkiest song out at that time. We had school dances

36 - 24 - 36 are her measurements..Brick House!

I have to tell you my story , one of my favorites. My oldest sister and I were eating breakfast at a waffle house in Memphis on Brooks Rd. About 1 ml. From Graceland in the 70's. We were Alone and in walks a group of black guys. Eventually we look up, my sister Says" isn't that Lionel Richey" And I said "Yeah , and that is Smokey Robinson! " We all laughed. Lionel pointed and said "The Commadores" we like to fell out. I Said "Detroit in the house!!" We all started laughing. We told them how we were born in Detroit too, and loved Motown. My sister is crazy, and said I can't believe we are eating breakfast with you guys, if you don't mind I am telling everybody that. Lionel said what do you have on your plate, she said, a piece of bacon. He said well, I have a piece of toast. Let's trade, and you won't be lying. Lol. We talked to all of them for about an Hour, we laughed. They were so sweet and down to earth. I have always loved me some Smokey. He is so smooth. Later that night we and some friends went to Mud Island in the middle of MS River and sat on blankets in the grass next to the outdoor stage. We had the best seats in the house. Great time. Only in Memphis. Have danced to the song many times . Love these guys. Peace .

When this song came on everyone would get up to dance. We played it at the parties, back yard BBQs, etc. Love the channel...continue to be blessed.

As a woman, the best time to play this song is when we're getting dressed up to go out dancing. Gotta strike those final poses in the mirror to check you look. 😉 This song makes any tall or full-figured woman feel confident and ready to strut.

I grew up listening to the best funk, soul, r&b and still do at 60 years old!! I love watching you guys checking out all the different songs and your reactions. The Commodores, Brick House is a guaranteed dance tune even when I driving, walking the dog, cleaning the house....No Way to hold it together when this song's on! Thanks for what you do guys.

You actually can't do anything but dance when you play this song. No cleaning, no getting ready for work/school. Just dance!

Yes, I moved my butt to this song...It was the one that brought EVERYONE to the dance floor. Thanks for the memories.

These guys are a trip. At least they are listening to some good ole music

oh yeah, at the disco. This one and Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way"

This was THE skatin’ rink song! And “She’s a Bad Mamma Jamma” better have been played right after “Brick House!”

If You Don't Know Me By Now- Harold Melvin and The Bluenotes

Man I just love y'all reactions listening to these old school songs. I am 62 years old growing up listening to these songs is history and so glad y'all are appreciating these wonderful songs. Keep looking up because that's where it all is!

When that song was popular, I listened to it on the radio on the way to and from work. Now I listen to it in a recliner with a headset on!!

No matter where we were; at the skating rink, a dance, a party...when this song came on, everyone lost thier minds dancing and more dancing!

Guys, Gap Band - You Dropped The Bomb on Me, The Dazz Band - "Let it Whip". That's old Soul Train funk, my brothers!

When this played, EVERYBODY danced!

I’m an old white lady sittin on my couch and rocking to this song like I did back in the day! Still feeling it the same as the two of you! Great song!

Gotta get up and do the “Bump” when this comes on- have your grandparents show you😉

"Brick House" was also *hugely* popular at roller skating rinks in the 70s, along with some of the other songs you've already covered like "YMCA" (yes, we all spelled the letters with our arms), "Staying Alive," and "I Will Survive."

I was waiting to cross in a crosswalk when a car stop to let me cross and with the windows down they blasted brick house. when I reached to other side the whole car erupted in applause 💕

This song was a house party staple, also as stated previous a club favorite.

"Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot. I think the reaction would be hilarious.

They need to watch the Soul Train line when they're wearing bell bottoms and afros. I want to put on platform shoes just listening to this 😂😂😂😂😂

I'm old enough to be your grandma and I'm still able to get my moves back on certain songs and this is one thanks for the reminder of younger days !

I saw The Commodores 1978 at Hammersmith Odeon, London . During this song, a woman walked onto the stage in a fur coat.... dropped it ...she was wearing a bikini... and danced.

"Tell us where you used to listen to this song." Me: Used to? I jammed to this yesterday!!

Commodores had a gang of bangers!! Check out Earth, Wind, and Fire's Boogie Wonderland, feat. The Emotions

You listened to this ANYWHERE! Mainly dance parties. 💃💃💃

"Night Shift" by The Commodores is a great song, too. It has a very different vibe than this one, but it always brings a smile to my face ☺

we did this with a little dance called "the Bump!" oh yeah.

This was a HUGE jam back in the day!! Bringing back the memories again boys! I have children your age and sharing ALL your videos!! Thanks!!

I'm 57 and my second oldest brother bought the album, I guess I was14 or 15 years old!!!

Now I don't care who or where you are when this song comes on you sing and dance! It just get's you moving! Love it! Great choice guy's! 👏

Hey guys, anytime you see the "Motown" label, you know it's gonna be a GOAT tune, no matter who's singing/playing! ;-)

This song always cranked a school dance up to the next level. If you aren't dancing to this, check for a pulse! Peace from SF

I think you two would enjoy “Dazz” by Brick. Came out around the same time. Those were the days.

This is a wedding reception dance “Must Playlist.” My wife is one of those shy ladies who comes out of her shell and hits the floor when this song comes on💃🏾❗️

We played this everywhere! Dance clubs, roller rinks, cleaning house, where ever whenever.

I’m 56 and this was popular on the dance floor and the skating rink. This band had so many great dance tunes!

Check out "Three times a Lady" and "Still" by The Commodores. Excellent love songs, IMO

"This song came out, and suddenly my grandma's telling me how she couldn't go to church for a month..." - - Lionel Richie

Backyard parties.. family reunions.. BBQ.. Cleaning the house.. "Built like an Amazon"

I was fortunate enough to be a kid back in the 1970s listening to great music by The Commodores, Stevie Wonder, Isaac Hayes, Donna Summer, Gladys Knight and the pipes, The O Jays, Earth wind & Fire, Thelma Houston, Isley Brothers, The Spinners, Marvin Gaye, War, etc.

I saw this band down in Fla in Daytona back in 1977! They were really great! Fantastic dance music!

Seal, "Kiss From A Rose"

This is the hype music ladies be playing while they're getting ready for that first date or a night at the club😂😂

This was a staple at every wedding back in the 90’s. Band or DJ. It was played and a huge dance song.

“Brick House” is short for “brick shit house”. That’s why there’s a pause (musically called a ‘rest’) between brick and house. In the days before indoor plumbing, the toilet was outside in the outhouse. Most outhouses were made of flimsy wood. But a brick outhouse was solid and warmer. So the old heads would say that a thick, curvy woman was built like a brick shithouse. This song was hot at all the house parties and clubs. One of those songs everybody wanted to dance to. In my neighborhood (Santa Monica, CA) we had a little chant during the rests in the music. It went like this: She’s a brick (Say what?) House (Say what, say what? Alright) She’s mighty mighty, just letting’ it all hang out. Man those were the days. You fellas should checkout the Ohio Players, especially: ‘Rollercoaster’ ‘Skin Tight’ ‘Sweet Sticky Thing’, and ‘Fire’ which was #1 on the R&B chart for a whole year Plus, you gotta Google their album covers, if you want to know something about being a teen in the 1970’s.

You guys are to cute. You probably don’t even know what a brick house is. Lol

This comes from the expression "She's built like a brick sh**house", which is a compliment to a woman's physique. It means she has a good build. That's why the long pause between 'brick' and 'house'. They are implying the missing word without saying it.

I was a kid when this was current and played on the radio. This song will always bring the ladies to the dance floor!!😉

Dude, that WAS me on the way to school with this song on the radio! LOUD!!! Impossible to have a bad day with this as the first song you hear. Built like an Amazon ... yyyeah!

My daughter says she’s going to walk down the aisle to this song 😂

"Brick House" gets played whenever and wherever classic funk is needed. Party? Brick House. Cleaning? Brick House. Wife giving birth? Brick House. (I'd guess, anyway.) You need some more Commodores. Try "Sail On," "Zoom," and especially "Easy."

Heard that all over the place on the radio back then. Whether you were driving or hanging out somewhere, it was hard not to sing along when "buh-RICK.........HOUSE" came up!

My best friend turned me on to this song in 1976. As we used to say "this is the jam". I loved this song and I played it cleaning the house, the car, at school, and whenever it came on the radio. Lionel Richie got started with the Commodores but the whole group was an icon and they still are. Look up a group called Con Funk Shun from the 1970's and you will be pleasantly surprised. I think they were awesome.

People were bumping this was almost everywhere. Park, Car Wash, Skating Rink, and of course Making love. There was nowhere we didn't have this going, except church...maybe.

My song back in the day! Popular at the dance clubs.

Every wedding reception I have ever attended plays this song!! Love it!!

Every wedding band plays this tune after the guests finish dinner, then start drinking. The ladies go crazy. It's quite fun to watch them from the stage.

I’m thinking “Celebration” by Kool and the Gang

This is the only song that my husband wanted to be played at our wedding reception this is his one of his top five favorite song.

1977...I was 4 years old. Loved dancing with my record player to this song!!! ❤

To answer your question, I remember skipping school my senior year 1985, going to the beach for the day, and when we got back, dancing to this in the parking lot. The ultimate dance-party-in-an-instant song!!!

Man, this was THE JAM back in tha day! I danced to it 1000 times at least 💃 We actually went to the club and danced for hours and hours.....and hours 😄

You should also listen to Wild Cherry (Play that Funky Music)

I’m 57 years old....as you requested you wanted us to comment what were we doing when we played this song back in the day.......driving my car.....hanging out in a parking lot with friends with the cassette player in the car blaring music.....at parties....best of all at the roller skating rink! This is one of many songs that would bring everyone off of the sidelines and onto the rink.

This was huge when I was a 12-13 yr kid and I still catch myself today at 51 start singing “She’s a Brick house” with happy memories dancing to it with the tv every Saturday morning. It was great Motown music was playing all the time and a little Irish ☘️ girl feel in love with it!! ♥️

I first played this song on an 8-track tape in my 1979 Camaro. LOL

'Brick House' was what the guys called a beautiful, well endowed lady back in the day ;) When I was a little kid, I didn't know what this song was about, I just knew I loved beat and the vocals! You'd hear it at the roller rink all the time - tie on your skates and you can't help but groove while skating around lol :)

Skating, basement dances, and cleaning the house, riding with the windows down in our cars in forest park, this was the jam.

We played this EVERYWHERE: home, car, roller rink. High school Marching bands played it. It still reigns high!

I'm still pushing Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz. It's a jam! (Yeah, I'm kinda aging myself by saying that.)

Bless your hearts - Ya'll so young. Guessing you've never heard "she's built like a brick schit house" which means she has a great figure. It was always a great party song - Danced The Bump to it. The guys got together while students at Tuskegee Univ.

Loved this song back in the days when I was a brick house. Now I'm closer to an out house!!!!

whenever I get sad, I go find these guys on youtube and they immediately cheer me up. just love these two

Some young people don’t know Lionel Richie was in the Commodores.
