OMG WE CAN'T BELIEVE THESE LYRICS!!!! JOE TEX - AIN'T GONNA BUMP NO MORE (REACTION)

[@54nomore]

This song was meant to be funny and hilarious. Back in the day we did not take things so seriously as they do today. People are easily offended today and that is a shame. They took the fun out of life and made everyone afraid to speak one's mind. It is a shame our world has come to this. Thank goodness I was young then and had lots of fun back then without all the politically correct mess that has hijacked our world today.

The bump was a dance from the '70s where each partner would "bump" their butts together. I'm sure you can find Soul Train dancers doing the bump.

[@jvsmith7888]

Actually, it was more like bumping your hips together.

[@williaml.nowell2243]

If you were popular, you'd get two girls on the dancefloor and do the double bump.

[@broadway427]

Correct !! .it was one of those dances that even if you couldn't dance and had two left feet, you could still get on the dance flood and feel comfortable because it was so easy to do.. like the dance "the twist" in 1960's

[@ladylibrum7145]

A vigorous sideways bump to the hip could definitely knock someone to the floor.

Hey Shawn just ask the ladies in your family that are around 60 years old about this song and they’ll tell you how much they loved it and how they used to dance to it and thank you for reminding them about it… Guaranteed..

I promise you, honestly, hand on heart, no-one was offended by this back in the day. AND - it filled the floor! Every time!!! My husband and I used to muck about to this one, 'bumping' each other's hips and pretending to almost fall down. It was purely for fun. And there was a LOT of that at discos, etc. back then. We had brilliant nights out. By the by - I'm glad you noticed how great the beat etc. is on this. Have to say, I had the best fun I've had in ages just watching the expressions on your faces! I am SO noticing my age! Brilliant reminder of the non politically-correct era. Once again, I swear to you, this disc was never intended in offence to anyone. For real. That's just how it was back then.

Joe Tex was a top knotch entertainer & good singer. This was in the 70's. He had been a big singer in the 60's. Lots a hits.

[@sparky6086]

Joe Tex was a bug influence on James Brown in the 1950's. He also wrote the oft covered, "Fever", which he sold for quick cash without copywriting it, so he didn't get writing credit for it.

[@mooseman684]

Your reaction to the song we danced to in the 70's is PRICELESS ! We had thick skin and it was a time when We All got together and had fun and color was no Barrier . I was a "Caucasian" DJ in a Soul club and that's where I learned to Dance ! Oh , how times have changed for the worse in my opinion. ( I'm 68 Yrs old now)

The woman who danced with him at the end of the song is named Jennifer Echols. She was an actress who graduated from the School of Theater at USC. She was okay with her size and was a wonderful, intelligent woman. Unfortunately, she passed away a few years ago.

This was a huge disco hit here in the U.K no. 2 in the UK charts, these days it rarely gets airplay because it may offend. I personally don't recall any fuller figured girls back in the day being offended by its content but they happily did the bump too it. Its a shame that its not played as much as it was a great groove, at the time it was regarded as a fun tune

[@r2x262]

You see that's the way we used to do it. We kept it real and nobody was offended because everybody was proud of who they were and it wasn't intended as an insult. You would have had to been growing up at that time to fully get it

My favorite funny song from the 70's. It's not very PC for modern times but it was quite popular when I was a kid. It cracks me up every time, not because of the woman's size. For me, it's the mental image of this scrawny skinny man getting picked on & knocked around on the dance floor. The 2nd verse about being snatched out of his seat always gets me - LOL! He's being stalked by this lady who has her eyes on him & he aint gettin' away so easily - HAHA! Yeah, we weren't so uber-sensitive back then & knew that it was all in jest. We could laugh at ourselves without "offending" anyone. Mel seems to get that it's all a joke & not aimed at ridiculing any particular group of people, but rather a funny situation taking place in a nightclub. This came out when I was 10 but every once in awhile it would play at our local club when i was older. let me tell you, it would always get the crowd on their feet because it's a fun (funny) song - nothing more than a good laugh at the guy's expense, not the lady. I've been watching these reaction channels for about 2 yrs & I think you are the first to react to this song. I've suggested it myself on other KZbinrs' videos but I never see this song come up... until now. Thank you! My husband loves & hates this song. he loves it because it's funny & has a great dance beat. He hates it because it's a major earworm for him. It gets stuck in his head & he'll end up singing/humming it to himself all day long. :-)
