I remember when this came out. I thought it was about the coolest thing I’d ever heard. My friend and I sat by the stereo for hours waiting for them to play it so we could record it on a cassette tape.

I remember this coming out of boomboxes back in the 80's. This is a breakdancing classic.

This song gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it, put the cardboard down and let’s go to 1st Ave at midnight. Bring your skills.

I was 10 years old in 84 and when I tell you I was in love with this stuff, my goodness. The break dancing, hip hop was at it's infant stage and was so exciting and new. What a wonderful time and beginning of an art style that took over the music industry.

The Greatest Break dance song of all time hands down

The videos are from Breakin (LA) and Beat Street (NY).

This was early Hip Hop, B Boy culture. Breakdancing on a cardboard box on the street corners, tagging trains with spray art. Rap & electronic music. Movies like Breakin & Beat Street were the norm. Man I miss late 70s & early 80s. I was born in 72 so this was my generation.

Not just with break dancing but roller skating rinks used to play this a lot. I was in high school in the 80s and this was my jam.

You have to listen to Freakazoid by Midnight Star. It’s from the mid 80s.

Still have my "45" of this and many more! I was 19 in 1984 and my boyfriend was in a "dance crew". Our weekends were spent going to so many of these. Good times!!

One of the best tunes back in the day, so smooth it glides along perfectly the beat, bass and tempo is Bob on.

Oh man I miss this time so much! Whisked me back to my childhood❤️. So good!!!!

There's a whole universe of music related to this... Egyptian Lover, Twilight 22, Pretty Tony, Afrika Bambataa, Kraftwerk, Planet Patrol and way more than I could list here. This is essentially part of the birth of EDM, if you want to hear something quintessential try "Numbers" by Kraftwerk.

The “electro” era. I had so much fun in those days. I could breakdance, but not do the body popping. You should listen to “planet rock” by afrikabambataa.

I didn't even watch this yet but OMG I've been waiting for someone to do this!!!! Thank You so much. wikki wikki "3 words to the wise ...

This was my jam back in the day. High top tennis shoes with wide shoe laces, parachute pants, studded bracelets 😎😎. Break dancing was at it’s prime when this hit. Thank you for bringing back so many good memories.

A time when music would bring us together. Unlike the music today that hates and divides us.

The end Dance routine was done with a rotating room. 💖

I don't remember this video but it's clips from a movie called Beat Street. Song and movie are from the early 80's, when Breakdancing really started to blow up. I believe Beat Street and Crush Groove came out the same year, both classic Hip Hop movie's.

This makes me soooo happy lol This song and your reaction! You should check out White Lines next 😉

I saw Newcleus open for Cameo in 1985... they were amazing!! I still have the single on 45... but most people won't know what I'm talking about! : - )

I love how you say “look at the love.” Why can’t that be all people see?

I used to Love Breakdance music. This was one of my favorite songs back in the day. And I'm considered a metal head.

I bought the album in 1984! Great album and great memories of my High School days!!!

One of my favorite rap songs. Jamming in the club's hard to this.

Not disco, but electro-rap, electro-funk, electro-hip hop or as I call it, skating rink music. You should listen to their other song 'Computer Age: Push the Button'. Other artists/songs in the genre that you should give a listen to are: Afrika Bambaaataa: Planet Rock, Looking for the Perfect Beat Egyptian Lover: Egypt, Egypt, And My Beat Goes Boom, Girls, KInky Nation, You're So Fine, Freak-a-holic, The Lover, One Track Mind L.A. Dream Team: The Dream Team Is In the House Planet Patrol: Play It at Your Own Risk Pretty Tony: Jam the Box M.C. A.D.E. Bass Mechanic Twilight 22: Electric Kingdom You should also take a listen to the genre 'Freestyle' which was also played a lot in skating rinks and poplular at the time. Here are a few artists/songs: Sweet Sensation: Hooked On You, Sincerly Yours Expose: Point of No Return, Come Go with Me Debbie Deb: Lookout Weekend The Cover Girls: Show Me Will to Power: Dreamin', Say It's Gonna Rain Company B: Fascinated Seduction: Two To Make It Right Trinere: They're Playing Our Song Plus, you can't listen to freestyle music without listening to Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam: There are so many songs from this group that you can choose from, but I'll list a few: I Wonder If I Take You Home Can You Feel the Beat All Cried Out Head to Toe Let the Beat Him Lost In Emotion Listen to them at some point for your channel or just for your own pleasure.

Thanks for bringing back awesome memories!! Growing up Southern California in the 80s was It!!! This 53yr old actually got up and danced like back in the day. Ok I'm good time to sit back down and chill. God bless and glad to come across this reaction video...

My first introduction to this was at the roller rink in the early-mid 80's.

if you've never heard MARRS - Pump Up the Volume, give it a try! Great Tune! Really enjoying your channel! You're fabulous and I'm glad you're trying some old tunes that we all loved!!

Skating rink music🤣 LOVE IT❣️ Gotta do some Freestyle & Egyptian Lover 😉

This was the number one battle song back in the days because that's how we handled beef back in the days not with guns and knives but on the cardboard let's see what you got.

I was born in 1970. I danced to this as a teenager. The video you’re watching wasn’t even out back then. Who ever put this out was slightly off a few years.

Definitely 80s. Much love

This is the song that made me fall in love with Hip-Hop. I was 12 and recorded this off the radio. I listened to that tape for days on end on my first Walkman. That Superman line was classic. All us kids was saying "Wikki Wikki Wikki" that summer.

This was the jam back in the day!!

Oh my gosh that brought back the 80s. Had a few kids in neighborhood who had the moves. So much talent

Break Dancing!! and breaking music. I was in high school when this was popular.

Brings back memories and LOTS of LOVE! Old breakbeat always pops.

This is during the 80s when breakdancing was popular.

This song still plays regularly at dundalk md. Skateland. LOVE IT. NO LIE everytime I go there I hear it

Top old school JAM.

At the beginning, hip-hop didn't have it's own genre on the charts, so it got lumped in with others... Good stuff... Classic!....

This was one of the first rap songs that would get radio play when it came out most radio stations didn’t play rap still an all time fav cuz I was a kid when it came out

Ohh man!! takes me back to the under age dance clubs of the 80's !! break dancing at its finest 👌

This was certainly my era as a teen. I rapped and break danced. This video was not the actual music video. This was a cover for Breakin' (West coast) and Beat Street (NYC). Some of your greatest break dancers and crews were in this, I mean legends. Glad you reacted to this.

Oh India!! This song holds so many funny sweet memories, #1 roller skating for hours to this song, # 2 "Breaking". Oh my God I'm dying with these awesome memories. I must have seen Break'in and the sequel a dozen times each. Such precious memories!! Too cute 😜😜😜!!!

One of the first cassettes I bought when I was a kid in 1984. I loved this song. This song got everybody Breakdancing when it hit the radio.

This was the beginning ish of rap, around the same time as Run DMC. We loved skating to it. These are the good ole days.

This was my jam! This is what i used for elementary school rap battles in southeastern Kentucky 😄🤣

i grew up in the DFW area and there was a radio station 100.3 jams and every year on the anniversary date they would play Jam On It for 24 hours strait!!!

I still love this song to this day!

"Rock, Skate, Roll, Bounce" !!!! "Jam On It" was a monster hit in roller skating rinks - & the lines between Funk, Soul, Hip-Hop, Disco, Rap, etc were not not always so clear. I competed in 10 US speed skating championships (quads & inlines) - we often did 10K or longer warm-ups to LOUD Funk!

What a amazing era...80s...we are so creativ,we all r dancing,hangin arround,no politics,no gadget,no shits...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

'Wiki wiki' is an earlier hit of theirs. They made reference to it in this one

this song was played at every school dance i attended, and at every roller rink I skated.

Own what you ain't heard this before😯😯😯 This song is the anthem too 80's babies And the element of breakdancing when hip hop was in it's kid stages back in 1984''!!! Anybody who grew up as a kid or a teenager in this time in the 80's they already know how beautiful of a time this was yes😎😎😎

Girl, you just took me back to my junior high school days. wow.

one of my all time favorites....great song!!!!

The birth of Hip Hop and break dancing during 1980s in the Boogie Down, AKA: The Bronx. I feel privileged to have experienced it, growing up in the South Bronx in the 1980s. My cousin dated 'Crazy Legs' , he was the pioneer of this dance,. His dance crew ' Rock Steady' , are battling it out ( blue clothes). Dancing was an escape from the injustice of urban decay.

I remember going to see this movie in theaters. It was late '84 or early '85. Street Beat is a great movie!!

WHAT?!? Oh i just read the title...now i MUST watch this one. 🌱

This song came out in my freshman year of high school. Everybody was breakdancing back then. A great time to be in your teens

"I love it, look at the love" When rap was fun and wholesome.

Thanks for bringing this song)video back. They go hand in hand! Awesome memories!!!

THE GUY WHO KISSED THE GIRL IS SHABADOO. HE WAS AN ORIGINAL BREAK DANCER. HE RECENTLY PASSED AWAY. HE WAS 65 URS OLD.

This came from that movie Called Breakin. Incredible movie. This is when break dancing was hot. These were my days of fun. Cant seem to find fun like this anymore.

yeah this was big in the UK too. It was included on an ancient hip hop compilation called Electro 3! It's actually a follow-up to their earlier song Jam On Revenge (Wikki Wikki Song) a loose kind of sequel.... also Jam On It was followed by the similar Let's Jam. These guys put out 2 full-length albums! And some members are still carrying the Newcleus name today. I saw them live in 2005 and 2006....

The Song "Automan" by the Newcleus is a wonderful one too !!

Thank you for reacting to this...i have been waiting for someone to do it.

Ohmygaaaaawd! I learned all of the lyrics at the age of 10. This is a classic!!!

Absolutely a great jam. And, watching young kids poppin' and break dancing. Those were the days. And check out their other song "Computer Age". Check out Whodini.

Yeah still have the classic on my playlist! Had this cut back in the day on an electric breakdance tape hah!

Fun to watch you enjoy early 80s breaking music, India! I was in high school when this came out. One day you'll find the music you like now will suddenly be considered old old stuff from the past and you'll be the one reminiscing like the rest of us in the comments.

India, the scenes in the video are from the movies Breakin' (California) and Beat Steet (New York). They were both the biggest movies for us youth featuring Hip Hop culture and break dancing. Thanks for reviewing this. Let's keep it alive :)

Love your energy India :) Many more blessings to you and your channel 🙏🏽

Classic 80s B-boy hiphop electro funk...this anthem was coming out of boomboxes and house parties and rec room parties every week...1984 was definitely a big year for hiphop finally breaking through to the mainstream....the footage here in the video all came from the hiphop classics "Beat Street", "Breakin'" and "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo"......I caught your little shout out to the Puma shoes, that was the unofficial footwear of all the b-boys and b-girls everywhere...when you were rocking some fresh and clean Pumas, nobody could tell you nothing! 🤟🏿😁🎶🎵🎧

This was featured in a film called Beat Street. I was a pre-teen when Beat Street came out. I loved it. Anything with cool music and dancing made me extremely happy (still does). I remember when kids would bring cardboard to school to pop and lock and what-not during recess. I miss the 80s.

When you hear for first time you no when you hear it when you in clubs in 1983 great

Oh my God girl I miss you so much❤❤❤❤ I'm so glad you're back please stay!!!

Break dancing was big back than😀 Movie “Beat Street “ 80s” great movie hip hop and disco 💃

The room rotated to give the appearance that he was on the ceiling.That was from the movie Breakin. The other movie was Beat Street, a must see!

Some Electro at it's best. Wikki Wikki Wikki. Takes me back. Beat Street is my favourite Hip hop movie. Well worth a watch. Music put together by Arthur Baker. I wore out the VHS tape and the two vinyl records in 1984.

Old school!!! Just ran across “Dream Team is in the House” by LA Dream Team. That was party jam back in the day.

Love this tune. Old Favorite of mine :)

This always reminds me of the fair in my younger ages, first time I heard it was on the spaceship ride 👽

I was 12 or 13 when this came out...it was turning into Electro/Techno...watch Model 500 from The Scene show from Detroit...No UFO's. Things were changing in a good way. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were ruling R&B...but the Detroit sound was taking over the underground...

I loved your reaction ❤ I hope you know this is your culture !!!

Amazing the amount and variety of music you have listened and reacted to. It's fabulous, because music is necessary for living. Think, what would we do without it. Not all the music is my taste , but who cares, it's what you think that matters. Now because of all the music you have done it has made me try and think of music back in my time you might have missed. Janis Ian, as seventeen is one. Chris deBurgh( remember lady in red) try Spanish train or Patricia the stripper( fun song). There are hundreds more , but not coming to mind just now Keep it going,it's a hell of an education

This was the jam back in the day

Yesssssss!!! An all time favorite of mine. Try their song "Computer Age (Push the Button)".

Breakin' Breakin' 2 Electric Bugaloo And Beat Street Are The Movies Featured In This Video Fun Fact I Went To School With The Featured Kid Dancer

brings back memories of great times we danced and we danced and we were breaking nad jus thaving fun,,,from the movie breakin also breakk street

It’s called “taking it to the corner.” That’s how dance crews battled.

I was 12 when this was released. I could’ve swore I heard the single as early as late 1983, but I could be wrong.

Grandmaster flash used his turntable skills to turn them into musical instruments and was the ground breaking music that was the start of the dawn of electro

Boy this brought back memories!

Man this brings back great childhood memories

This was the very first , Break Dance Music to hit the streets, HIP HOP before HIP HOP was main stream , 1980' RUN-DMC, Newcleus, LL Cool J, Afrika Bombatta and the Soul Sonic Force, Sugar Hill Gang, Egyptian Lover, Cybotron, Royal Cash.. Whodini, Twilight 22 so if I recommend your next video try Cybotron - Clear or Royal Cash - Let's Jam Radio Active.. How do I know these things I used to Break Dance in the 80's in High School wearing , Adidas gear.

Loved this song!! ♥️

Back as a child hearing this on crappy speakers I always thought he was saying Jammoni.. it wasn’t till a few years ago I heard this on SiriusXM and saw the title and had a holy shit moment… lol glad you enjoy tunes from the previous generations
