Frankie Smith = Double Dutch Bus

[@305youtuber]

what a creative time with music in the 80's!!! ✊😅

[@ChezzusXrift9]

That was before the crack era. Black kids used to be outside playing double dutch and playing jax and hide and go seek and catching bumblebees and jumping out the swings and trying to see who could run the fastest from here to the corner and practicing riding wheelies and learning how to do bunny hops on bikes watching Fat Albert and chasing the ice cream truck... OMG those of us... We were blessed to experience growing up in that era!!!!

[@Soulflwr1]

Yes! If I could rewind the time, I wld go back. Wonderful times! 🎉

[@kimwilliams1402]

Exactly my era❤

[@my2cents361]

All facts!✅✅😄

[@paulacross3086]

Let add we built go cars back then ply wood, big wheel tires, & shopping cart wheels, biscuit tops for hubcaps, stick ball with a coke can we smashed & put tape around the can used socks for gloves, played freeze tag & dodge ball. Good memories, we found ways to have fun now it's video games, cell phones, laptops, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tick tock, Ytube,have replaced the growth of the future young generations.

CUÁNTAS VECES LA HABRÉ ( Y, TODAVÍA SEGUIRÉ!) ESCHANDO ESA CANCIÓN! LA MODA DISCO, LO MEJOR DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS ( AUNQUE CONFIESO QUE, ES, COMERCIAL!) , NUNCA ME CANSO DE ESCUCHAR LA DANCE MÚSICA DISCO DE LOS 70/80 QUE, YO, LOS VIVÍ! A MIS 62 AÑOS, MÁS QUE NUNCA! CON TODA LA BASURA QUE HACEN DESDE LOS 90 ( Y, A PEOR, CADA VEZ) ME QUEDO CON LA " DISCO"....GRACIAS!

[@MariaCazares-b4t]

El double touch me encanta con esta canción jugábamos a bailar moviendonos en fila y luego nos juntábamos formando un círculo, todos nos reíamos mucho, todos los bailes los hacíamos dentro de la escuela cuando algún compañero llevaba una grabadora a escondidas y la ponia en el patio y aunque los profesores nos regañaban nosotros bailabamos

[@go-nogo1475]
