[@TheJgnz]

I remember being on the bus back from Key around 2006 hearing this joint on 93.9 and the whole bus erupt into one big chorus of "Pieces, pieces, PIECES OF MEEEEE!!!"

[@fortyglock9698]

+Stephanie McNeil (Cookie) SHUT THE FUCK UP

[@StephanieCookieMcNeil]

Fiifi Baidoo Sweetheart I have no idea who you are or who you think you may be, but I do know that this comment had nothing to do with you. No one was speaking to you honey so I will not shut the fuck up. If you feel some type of way about this conversation which had nothing to do with you in the first place, you should keep those feelings to yourself because I can guarantee you that you were (and still are) the furthest thing from my mind when I posted that comment (as well as this one) and also I give zero fucks about you being mad. Now you have yourself an absolutely splendid day.

[@lisab.8520]

I'm in Orlando and you wouldn't believe the amount of ppl that don't know about go go music, SMH!! I'm from SE DC!!! 87junkyard era

[@dpandy01]

Lisa Brockenberry I'm in Orlando and if it wasn't for me going to N.C. A&T I wouldn't have known about gogo either, but now it's apart of my Saturday music rotation when I clean the hous.

[@jrabbt7463]

GoGo is indigenous to DC/Delmarva. No one else hears it unless we bring it. I live in Texas, so if it ain't bluegrass or country they're lost-lol.

[@kathrynbabson8123]

I luv gogo all-day Arlington,Va

[@michaeljcranmer5012]

Take me out to see Junk Yaaaaad! Living in o town myself, my homies from PG COUNTY! Stay in Tampa now too (we like 20 yrs. deep in FL, Been known my md fam for like 30). Dope. I wonder how embarrased Ashley Simpson is to hear this homegirl ROCK her lyrics... Been wondering that question for like fifteen years

[@michaeljcranmer5012]

​@kathrynbabson8123 love to arlington. Dope lil town with a pretty important cemetery attached &&&& most recent place I got to see Fireflies! I grew up with them.Little bastards in jersey so, It was amazing to get the opportunity to see them... About a decade ago, just outside DC.

[@chelloelmi8700]

Bumping this with my kids in the car, they have no idea mama is feeling nostalgic! ❤ this song in 2023! Makes the soul feel good. 😊

[@mamalipz]

[@pietabeasley6549]

That part!!!

[@cwctlh]

I was today days old when I discovered gogo music. I'm a 67 year old white woman who lives in Tallahassee, Florida but still - what rock have I been under?! I'm going to be binging on it for sure.

[@t2pinder]

Hope you're still jamming out to it...

[@NiaishaDeShazor]

I Love this song!!! I'm from Detroit and when I lived in D.C. i fell in love with Go-Go!!! hearing this makes me want to go back

I send out a big "Thank You!" to the person who posted this. Like most people on this message board, I'd been looking for this song for years. Thank goodness for You Tube and those people who have enough insight to share these types of jewels with everyone!

[@DJNicarBeats]

When I first moved to DC in 2008, I searched for "gogo" and this was one of the songs that came up. I was in my dorm room jammin! Now every time I hear this, I think of that exciting time! Such a classic record.

[@big_zeus]

One of, if not the best, GoGo covers of the modern era!

[@mikefrommaryland9652]

80/90’s - There is no place in the world that can do it like we did it in DC. Thx Essence for all of the memories.

[@realrude01]

[@missdenita]

I’m from GA!!!! Decatur to be exact. Anyway I’ve never really heard go go music until now........ I like it!

[@darrylbranch6818]

Go Go is a life changer!! I grew up on it. Been around the world and got exposed to soooo much good music. But nothing else "centers you" or "regrounds you" the way the way a proper Go Go cuts does. This cut is PROPER! Can't even explain it.

[@rotorsenpaiboi3272]

Every time I miss home, I think of this song.

[@royalbloodent3346]

I remember this song was on the radio everyday
