"Wild Cherry was a hard rock cover band, but with the advent and popularity of the disco era, it began to be difficult to get bookings because audiences wanted to dance. Parissi told the band that if they wanted to get bookings, they were going to have to start to include dance tunes in their sets, but the band resisted becoming a disco band. While playing at the 2001 Club on the North Side of Pittsburgh to a predominantly black audience, a patron said to band member Beitle during a break, "Are you going to play some funky music, white boys?" Parissi grabbed a pen and order pad and wrote the song in about five minutes. The lyrics literally describe the predicament of a hard rock band adjusting to the disco era"

Don't wish any years away. The trade off for being there then is being old now. I was there. I just turned 70. Yes, some of it was really great, some of it... not so much. The reality is we also had Vietnam. Watergate. Nixon resigning in shame. The Arms Race. Polyester liesure suits. Disco. Eleven Israeli athletes murdered during the 1972 Munich Olympics by Palestinian terrorists (sound familiar?). Only 3 channels of regular tv and it was all censored and low def. If two shows that you liked aired at the same time, you had to choose which one you watched and then hope to catch the other show during summer reruns. The town movie theater only changed what it showed every other week. If you really liked a song, you either had to buy the whole album or wait to hear it on the radio. If you missed a lyric you had to wait for it to be played again. If you missed a phone call, you didn't know who called. But I will say being in my 20s in the 70s was definitely a lot more fun than now being 70 in the 20s. On a last note, we didn't know or really appreciate what we had. Find a way to appreciate what you do have now because 50 years from now someone might wish to go back and live in the great 2020s and you might have to tell them "not so much". I used to wish I was 20 in the 1940s. because of the great music and America coming together to fight Hitler and Hirohito. Of course that'd make me 104 now so no thanks. Ok. Not a lecture, no condescension, just my observation and reply to something I hear a lot from newer gens. Boomer out.

For decades I thought Ram Jam was a soul band . They sounded like a lot of the black acts of the time. Yearrrs later I saw a promotional film on KZfaq. They weren’t called videos yet. It was a bunch of long haired white Boys from Alabama rocking out at a backyard barbecue. Sometimes you never know until you see the band in concert.

The pastor heard it, came in the church to see us on stage jammin' to this tune, shook his head, and danced all the way down the isles and out the church doors!

A lot of people were surprised to find out Elvis Presley was white when he was first getting recognized. This was one of my absolute favorite songs growing up and I had the single and I played it all the time and it was on the radio all the time and people dance to it at the club for years after work and would just bring it up and sing it and so forth it was incredibly popular and the whole time I never knew that it wasn't a black band until maybe 10 or 15 years ago when I saw this KZfaq video. I was shocked.

It's hard to overstate how popular this song was. It was #1 not only the Billboard Hot 100 but on the Hot Soul Singles chsrt too. Wild Cherry was a hard rock band who wrote this to stay popular once disco dominated music in the late 70s and bookers wanted dance music.

When you said "jive turkey" I just about choked. 😂 This was hugely popular when it came out, and I believe their only number 1 hit. I think their only hit in the US, even though their other stuff was good too. I bought the album when I was about 10, not long after it came out. In my small town in mid-late '70s all us kids hung out at a local pizza parlor which had a game room (pool, foosball, air hockey, pinball... no video games yet) and this song was constantly on the jukebox. I wasn't much of a disco kid overall (a lot of it seemed like dumbed down, overly commercialized versions of funk, soul, r&b..., sometimes downright cheesy), but I have always appreciated some good funk and soul. Always dug funk groups like Rufus and Chaka Khan, P-Funk, the Gap band, Average White Band, Tower of Power, etc., and can't forget the classics like James Brown or Sly and the Family Stone. Some of us white boys definitely got soul. 🙂

Don't worry, Britt... we all do it. I always form pictures in my head of what I imagine someone looks like - and then I'm usually surprised when I see that they don't look anything like their voice. I think it's natural for people to do that. I actually love it when I'm wrong!

Britt you have an awesome “real world” attitude. In the real world everyone is getting along just fine. The media and politicians are the ones that have the problem.

Classic all-time party song from back in the day. FYI, there is also a black sax player and a black trumpet player in this group.

I never thought about this but she is spot on about the pre-chorus. It does exactly what you want a pre-chorus to do. It’s like a meatball right over the plate and the chorus just smashes it out of the park.

That song was the highlight of our high school pep rallies, featured in all the half-time shows at all the football games, every high school dance and everytime it came on the radio we all had to get up and dance. It was iconic.

Every wedding reception that I have been to over the years has this song played by the DJ. It's a great dancing song, especially if you've had a couple too many drinks!

Being 62, I've probably heard this song a thousand times, and I'm still not tired of it. This is one of those songs that will have you heading for the dance floor even if you can't dance.

That was the best reaction to this song I've heard, and seen, on the Internet. This song deserved it. I was lucky enough to be in my early 20's when this song came out. We absolutely destroyed the dance floor when this song came on at the club. Good times!!!

55 here. This song has been one of the greatest anthems of all time, been in my playlist since I'm knee high. Had it on 8 track, had it on vinyl, had it on cassette, have it saved to my streaming services now

Us older folks(60’s +) love to watch you youngsters discover the music we grew up with and have heard too many times to remember, my kids whom are your age are familiar with a lot of this music because I always had my tunes going in the car and at home. You’re very entertaining and I get a kick watching your responses,please keep it up. 👍🏼

How they got that song was. They went to play and a black man approached them to say "play that funky music whiteboy" and that is how this song came about.

Great reaction, Britt! But as several people have mentioned, you need to listen to their performance on Midnight Special. Not only is it longer, it has some extra funk in the band.

Loved this reaction! It's a literal mood enhancer!! You should listen to Bobby Caldwell "What You Won't Do For Love". such a classic R&B jam

I was gonna suggest that EXACT same as an example of what she observed about someone sounding different than expected. As I understand it, his record label was quite worried about how he'd be received on tour, but it was evidently (properly) a non-issue.

This song was an INSTANT funk/disco classic from the moment it first hit the radio airwaves; they played this song to death, and it’ll always be on some station somewhere; it’ll outlive all of us. Everyone loved it.

Great reaction Ms. Britt!!! I love this song. It’s a fun song & puts a smile on my face. Another fun/good song that is similar to this, somewhat, is “Love Rollercoaster,” by the Ohio Players.

Britt, When you add this song to your playlist, make sure you get the longer version. The version on the video is the single, the 45 rpm version. There is a longer, album version available. Rob Parisi, the lead singer and guitarist, only recently retired. He said he wanted to quit while he could still hit the notes.
