Yes us black folks are STILL into it now - cause then came rapping and hip-hop! There wuz so many disco fly-by-night groups back then like Foxy. Shit remember we thought Chic and Prince were gonna be one-hit wonders and Nile Rodgers is still jamming today! They all made it the most liberal fun times in recent memory as compared to the hateful cultural bullshit we got today! Only thing is women today is way finer than chicks back then (when did white chicks start growing booties!?).

[@futurefind674]

@woodrowpreacely7521 Uhhh no...lol. WE never even CALLED it "Disco"! Lol. It STARTED as a groove, first visible in the early works of NORMAN WHITFIELD and then mastered by the GAMBLE and HUFF days of PHILLY SOUL, in which whole orchestras were used to back up the core band. The O'Jays, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and later Teddy Pendergrass, etc. laid the foundation for what would later become Disco and be taken over by Whites and Hispanics, who sucked the soul out of it, which led to that whole racist cave animal display at Comiskey Park back in 1980, and the destruction of black music which wasn't even RELATED to Disco! If it had a black face on the cover, it was to be destroyed! THESE dudes tried to be the real thing, but even WHITE people wouldn't allow them to be serious! That's too bad for them, but it's all done to fw US! 🤷🏾‍♂️😒🤣

[@sonofjudah535]

I’m a child of the 70s. In the black community we had lots of cook outs, block parties and family gatherings. I can tell you there weren’t many songs by whites that were being played. Yet, I do remember this one being played. It had a really good rhythm to it. We had our own dance moves unlike the corney steps in this video. Over all we jammed to it. Also I didn’t know they were a all white band until now. Correction! I’m sorry they’re Cubans! That’s kool, now it makes sense.

Este tema se lanzó en Julio de 1978 por el sello propiedad de T.K. (Fundado por Henry Stone a principios de los 70 y situado en Hialeah, Florida), Dash Records en su segundo álbum de estudio. Llegó al puesto 18 en el Billboard Hot Disco de aquél año aunque en el Billboard Hot Soul llegó al número 1. Foxy fue una banda de música disco de finales de los 70 en la que todos los miembros eran cubanos. Destacaban el fundador Ish Ledesma (que en 1979 sacó un tema suyo propio llamado "Don't Stop") y el hijo de Tito Puente, Richie Puente a la batería. Su primer álbum se lanzó en 1976 conteniendo sus éxitos "Get Off Your Aaahh And Dance" y "Let's Love". Al año siguiente sacaron una cover de "The Way You Do The Things You Do" popularizada por The Temptations en formato doce pulgadas para T.K. Disco y en 1979 lanzaron "Hot Number". Un tema muy parecido estructuralmente a "Get Off". El grupo se desintegró en 1980, justo cuando ocurrió el principio del fin de la era de oro de la música disco, dando paso a la era Post-Disco. Las vocalistas femeninas eran un grupo de sesión que había trabajado con Peter Brown (otro artista de T.K. que en 1977 sacó un tema con Betty Wright llamado "Dance With Me") y que se llamaba Wildflower. Este grupo en 1977 lanzó una versión Disco del tema interpretado por Ray Noble en 1939 "Harlem Nocturne" en formato doce pulgadas a 45 RPM para T.K. Disco en el número de serie TKD 55.

I think the main message of the song is to “get off” or something or other. 🤔

[@luvyesmusici4886]

This was possibly the greatest era of music. So many choices, and really the end of disco. But of all my choices, and some of these groups are still touring, this was the first officially licensed cassette I ever bought for, wait for it, my huge boombox as a middle schooler, living on an Air Force base in Okinawa, Japan. I had bought plenty of pirated cassettes, but this was my first real purchase. It was certainly a different time back then.

[@YoureMadCryAboutIt]

This is the worst era of music and it’s not even close.

[@S-Ltd1000]

Yes, it was the greatest era of music, just not shite like this!

[@NetanyahuWarCriminal]

@@YoureMadCryAboutItYeah.. you must’ve been in a coma during the 2010’s apparently. You can honestly argue that with any decade of music in the last 50 years. Even now, the radio plays all sh_t.

Wow! Im going back to my first week starting 8th Grade in junior high school with this jam. Saw them perform on American Bandstand with this jam as well.

I'd have broken my neck trying to dance like that, their energy alone is off the chain.....that was one of my favorite skating songs in the very late 70s when I was a teenager

[@deliveryguyrx]

I'd crank this up after leaving traffic court getting out of my many moving violations. With a rolled-up joint in the ashtray, of course!

We all just need to give it up for the dancers in the video for probably suffering the rest of their lives with whiplash

The hair, the clothes, the dance moves, the lyrics..

[@herringfly]

That was the thing about the 70s - colourful, and you could find yourself listening to all sorts of mad stuff as well as the great music of that decade. Real life could be pretty drab at times but the entertainment was bright and fun.

[@DJGort]

The dancers, the rehearsals, all the work that was put into this. Help me to make sense of this.

[@Leftatalbuquerque]

Perhaps Alan Carr was producing...

[@TakenTook]

My guess is that it was a TV show from someplace in Europe, where artists lip-synch, and pretend to play their instruments along to the pre-recorded album track. Kind of like "top of the pops" in the UK, or "solid gold" in the US. US television shows at this time would not have allowed that specific type of dancing with those specific outfits, and probably would have objected to these lyrics on broadcast TV. Given that this TV show clearly had the budget for a dance troupe, and what would have been very cool video effects for the time, I'm surprised they didn't also have a fake set of female back up singers pretending to sing the female voice sections instead of having the band members, pretending they were singing those sections.

[@journalologyandcoofficial]

​@@Leftatalbuquerque😂😂😂😂

[@user-hn5ti3ws7g]

I grew up in the 70s (born in 69) and although I wasn't a teen then, I watched a lot of TV and for a music video of the time this one has really good choreography, fades and timing. It's actually very impressive. Never heard of them until today.

[@ijustdidahugeshit]

Me too because I am a qualified lesbian

[@AdamBlackArts]

Props to that guy for holding the piano that way. Those things are heavy as hell, yet he's still able to play it.

I am 62 years old. I remember when this was THE JAM! I never, EVER knew these were some "blue-eyed soul brothers!" I LOVE IT!!!

[@chellybabyme]

I have the album and I remember seeing the cover but I just thought it was some random guys laying down for a photo shoot. The actual identity of the singers did not register with me

Thank you, KZbin. I always thought this group was black. They look white however, and were way ahead of their time! Thanks for sharing, and God bless you!

Trying to process whether this is a recently made satirical video or its an actual song from the 70's, those dancers were tearin it up!😂😂😂

[@JukuduB]

Its very real.

[@AshMc1970]

My neck hurts just from watching

[@platterjockey]

It was written as a joke to annoy some guy. They got kicked out of a club because they played it. The song got to #9 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles in 1978. This was no joke! It turned out to be a very popular song. It was released on T.K. Records' Dash label.
