"Double Dutch Bus" is a 1981 funk song by Frankie Smith, made famous for its extensive use of the "izz" infix form of slang. The song title represents a combination of two institutions in Smith's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, neighborhood: the double Dutch game of jump rope played by neighborhood kids, and the SEPTA bus system that was a backbone of the local transportation network (and for which Smith had unsuccessfully applied for a bus driving position; the Transpass referred to in the song is an actual SEPTA pass). Smith and co-writer Bill Bloom persuaded contacts at WMOT Records to finance the song, and it was recorded in the summer of 1981, engineered by Gene Leone. The song rocketed to popularity in a matter of weeks. On the U.S. Billboard R&B chart, it held the number one spot for eight weeks. It also crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number 30 in the summer of 1981.[1] The record has received two separate gold certifications, one for sales of the 7" edit, and a second gold record for sales of the 12" single.

Yup. Its the izzle talk, jive talk. Started in the east coast like NYC, Harlem, Philly and in the west coast bay area Oakland, SF, California. '80s. All the rappers like Snoop Dogg, Missy Elliott , etc grew up listening to this kind of stuff and lot of older hip hop sampled funk music.

I grew up in Philly, roller skating and listening to Double Dutch bus. When I had kids, in an effort to share my love of old school music with my kids, I made them CDs and included this song. One day while walking into the grocery store, my then 4 year old son grabbed ny hand and said, "Mom, do you have any funky bus fare? Ho"!!!!

Fast-forward to the present when kids in their 20s hear old songs from the 80s, 90s that are remixed, they try arguing it's a new song and how do I know some of the lyrics? I have to let them know to look up the originals on KZfaq, cause the songs came out before they were born. 😆

My sister recorded this song off the radio for me when we were kids in the early 80s cause every time the song would finish on the radio i would cry cause i loved the song so much i was like 4 or 5 years old. She passed away in 2012 and everytime i want to go back to those beautiful days being a kid and having my whole fam around me i put this on and now i cry as soon as it comes on, i miss u ofelita mora 1970-2012 rest in paradise. We will see eachother soon.... but not yet.
