OH MY GOSH!| FIRST TIME HEARING A Taste Of Honey - Boogie Oogie Oogie REACTION

[@nickimontie]

I wish you all could experience what it's like at a club and a song like this comes on, and the whole crowd yells and runs to the dance floor! This song is a classic!!

[@raineyj560]

Miss clubbing!

[@trudieristich795]

Exactly what it was When out dancing all the time my disco days It does bring back great memories plus no one I knew Hate it like everybody else so I hate disco but I love my tisco and I love my eighties rock glam bands everything So certain people didn't understand it cause you're just supposed to be one or the other I guess to them But I go out dancing disco and then go to a party and listen to Van Halen and at that time they just came out

[@robertacolarette1594]

I know exactly what you mean. So much fun.

[@Guiltless765]

Good times 🍻🍻

[@xadam2dudex]

IKR .. Funny on the dance floor

[@markcastrovinci6074]

Those women singing are also playing the bass and the guitar. Super talented. Huge hit at the time - and timeless.

[@lanceflx63]

This was a huge hit in 1978 and it still slaps. What you heard were guitars, bass, and synthesizers. They were just as good live. You must also check out their song “Sukiyaki” .

[@sheilameyers152]

One of my favorite boogie songs! Oh boy do I have news for you! Those girls could rock the funk! I wouldn’t sit until they played this song a few times! We all loved it!!💕💕💕💕

[@breckrichardson390]

Their version is a cover. They need to hear the original Sukiyaki first!

[@lanceflx63]

@@breckrichardson390 no they need to hear their version!

[@enufots4621]

@@breckrichardson390 The original #1 song "Sukiyaki" 1963 was not really the same song, but I recommend it as well.

[@dodster11]

I've recently come to realize that 1978 was probably the greatest year in music in my lifetime. Boogie Oogie Oogie was #9 on the Billboard Charts that year. Saturday night fever came out in December 77. The 1978 charts had five of the top 10 songs from one family.(BeeGees had 3, Andy Gibb had 2) it was the year the movie Grease came out. Another great song from that year was Love Will Find a Way by Pablo Cruise. Summer 78 was the season of Baker Street and Donna Summer's Last Dance.

[@bjdefilippo447]

Hard to argue with that!

[@Spiderwebsider]

Yep. I’m going back to the 70s when I die. For sure.

[@armandoperez7967]

1978 was very notable. Van Halen’s first album was released in 1978. It was self titled. Also released was The Cars first album, also self titled. Also released was Foreigner’s Double Vision album, and Infinity from Journey, as well as others.

[@armandoperez7967]

How could I forget that 52nd Street from Billy Joel came out in 1978?

[@ungenerationed9022]

Wow, did you ever just bring back some memories. All good ones!

[@jamiedianne6778]

THIS SONG!!! Still fabulous after all these years. I feel like strapping on my roller skates now 😆

My god I forgot how much I loved his song and how great it was! Thanks for taking me back! 😁

[@johnplaysgames3120]

That sound you're hearing that you think might be kazoo is actually a clavinet, the same instrument you hear Stevie Wonder play on a number of songs but which you'll particularly notice in the intro to his song, "Superstition." A clavinet is similar to a piano but smaller, electronically amplified (because otherwise it's super quiet), and makes its sounds in a similar but slightly different way than a piano, giving its notes more of a metallic sound. The clavinet is basically a modern version of a clavichord, a keyboard instrument invented in the 14th century and which was a precursor to the harpsichord, a bigger, louder keyboard instrument you hear a lot in classical music from the 18th century, like Mozart, Bach, etc. In the middle of the 20th century, Ernst Zacharias decided to update the clavichord by making it electronically amplified and the clavinet is the result. TWO FUN FACTS ABOUT CLAVINETS: (1) Stevie Wonder has referred to the clavinet as "my electric guitar," because it gives him that gritty, funky, metallic sound he can't get with any other instrument; and (2) because the clavinet is electronically amplified, you can attach FX pedals just like for a guitar, including things like wah-wah pedals and overdrive pedals. In fact, some modern clavinets even have a whammy bar for aggressive pitch-bending. It's a cool instrument with a very unique sound. Of course, these days, you don't need to actually buy a clavinet. Most synthesizers and computer music programs have at least one setting or sample that mimics the sound of the clavinet.

[@benjaminvlz]

I think they were talking about the electric guitar solo.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I love this disco era female duo! The played those guitars like masters! So funky and female empowering! I wish you would have played one of their performances of this song…the are a few out there! Also, try their hit “Sukiyaki”!❤❤

[@mysticakhenaton1701]

they were MASTER Musicians, even back then in the LATE 70's.

[@stephenjohnson8617]

This song has disco written all over it! I used to disco dance until my legs were sore and this is one of the songs along with KC and the sunshine band and a few others

[@mattking5936]

Great musicians. The bass player and lead vocalist Janice Marie Johnson is something else. She's also very beautiful. Really talented and underrated duo.

[@tomajagem9616]

The Moog Synthesizer is the sound you're hearing. Remember well when this first came out.

[@genaroperez81]

THE BEST baseline EVER !!❤ This was one of THOSE songs that, as soon as you heard it, the dancefloor was packed. Memories. 😊

[@douglasg.9271]

This was huge in the day. People who weren’t dancing were dragged up to dance. So much fun.

[@davidruvalcaba6740]

Another great '70's dance classic. A crowd favorite that never failed in getting the people up to dance. Those sisters knew how to get down - a perfect combination of guitar and bass. Jay - love the shirt!!

[@stevehamilton8824]

Another great R&B disco tune that made this era perfect! That bass kicks. Lace up those skates. Roller skating rinks around the country were like disco clubs on wheels. The lights, sounds and people having a great time was. a staple. I was too young to be in the clubs back then but skating was where it was at.

[@Dancer810]

This was one of the songs that DEFINED the DISCO ERA!!! A true classic!!!

[@hedgewitchherbarium]

The parties my mother had in the late 70's featured a lot of this style of music and for some reason this made me think of George Benson "On Broadway." Love the chair dancing! ❣

[@bloppysloppy2283]

Remember me a lot of Ernie Isley of the Isley Brothers too.

[@ElusvOptmst1]

The live version on Midnight Special is so much fun. Iconic disco. The women are gorgeous too.

[@atdeacon]

The bass is great. the guitar is great. fun lyrics and great voice!. Everything you need for an amazing song/ Ive loved this song since I was kid!

[@m.jackson2380]

There's nothing like music made with real instruments!

[@timothykaturamu1898]

A long forgotten gem (I haven't listened to it in years!). Thank you so much for playing it. Here's another from A Taste Of Honey, it's titled "Sayonara". A few more you could react to are: Rod Stewart singing "Baby Jane" (A favorite of mine), Brian McKnight with "Back At One", Eternal singing "Oh Baby I" and "Stay", and Jon .B. featuring Babyface singing "Someone To Love". Thanks for all you do, it's greatly appreciated. Have a blessed day!

[@true8teesbaby]

You have to watch their performances. Two beautiful sistas killing it on the instruments and vocals. Check out their songs “Ladies of the 80’s” & “Rescue Me.”

[@yvonnemendez3075]

These girls can sing party time club time😅❤

[@billyf2833]

Guys, that was the guitar with an effect on it. You have to watch the Midnight Special version and then the live version that her drummer has a blue hat. Janice is in her 60's (I think) and she STILL has her bass chops AND her voice. The guitar player in that performance is Linda Taylor. Great Chops.

[@aspasiaholley]

Very first album I ever bought! Thank you for acknowledging these gifted artists 🙏🏽💞

[@daleofficer1709]

You can’t NOT love this song. It’s been a while since I’ve heard this one and man, does it still sound good even after all these years. Another song by A Taste Of Honey you really need to check out is “Sukiyaki”, but just FYI, it’s a complete turnaround from “Boogie Oogie Oogie”. “Sukiyaki” is a ballad, and it’s absolutely beautiful. I think Amber especially will enjoy it. ❤

[@lion6460]

Love watching your videos. Gives me great pleasure seeing a younger generation not only listening to but appreciating all the beautiful music I grew up hearing in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Would really love to see you guys do a video on Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb's "Come Tomorrow" and Randy van vanWarmer's "Jusy When I Needed You Most" and see what you make of it.

[@tdupuy]

Those funky women can play those instruments.

[@alexanderbeta-werburghii6176]

Disco music, made for dancing. It was awesome as a teen dancing to this. One of the best.

[@Tarzan91303]

That was the bomb song back in the day. The dance floor was packed when this song was playing.

[@tannonwraith4692]

And now I'm disco dancing! Great choice!

[@tommythompson9565]

I applaud you guys -- neither of you are stuck up despite being RVC pop stars. 😁 Really, though -- almost 400 K subscribers? Holy popularity, Batman!! That is fantastic. Y'all deserve it. Super likable . Y'all's channel is even mentioned on other RVCs. This song brings back lots of memories. Disco was at it's apex at the time that this song came out. Maybe just rounding the hilltop of disco's popularity. But man was it popular. And the guitar/synth solo ? Come on, man ! Was a blast watching y'all dance. And I don't think either of you stopped boogie-oogieing the entire song.

[@suzanneprock7286]

This was such a fun song to dance to at the Discos, love these women. You need to watch the live version, it's fantastic!

[@guillermojimenezcastelblan8456]

The girl grabbin' the Fender Jazz Bass, is actualy the player. A smash hit from 1978, I love this guitar-bass duo, amazig, Janice Johnson and Hazel Payne. The disco musical approach at the top of its game!!!.

[@Suzannesmith6335]

My god they were good dancing days with this type off music a great memory trip thank you

[@cassandrareid496]

I was a kid in the 70's so I heard this and a lot of disco from my parents (they were in their 20's) I still love this music.❤😊

[@edier4057]

I'm soo happy you finally reacted to this. I knew you would love. Now do yourselves a favour and watch the live version (Solid Gold or Midnight Special?). This is definitely a track that deserves to be viewed live - if only just to see them play the guitars (those ladies are the epitome of cool) Two other songs for you: "Superstar Superman" and "Sukiyaki"

[@alkronlage5236]

I love rock, and yes, I also liked being at the disco in the later 70s. This was one of those songs we would be dancing to. I still have that album from back then!

[@jasonmccormack6598]

Growing up in the 70's and 80's was awsome. Wish I could go back in time. You both missed out on a fantastic time in history.

[@mariocervantes5961]

That fuzzing sound was lead guitar! Its called a fuzz pedal we lead guitarist use sometimes!😎😎

[@highpsi11]

There are a lot of synthesizers and distortions of the instruments. Fun, funny sounds and an infectious groove : ))

Every time I hear 👂🏻 this song 🎧 anymore, I can’t help but think 🤔 of the movie 🍿 “Roll Bounce” a Skating Movie with a heart ❤️ warming story line

[@BonniePicc]

This was played at all of my friends’ sweet 16’s! Such great memories.

[@santellanr]

Great song and reaction. Was thinking, don't pause it when the bass hits, don't pause it when the bass hits, and what does Jay do? Pauses it right when the bass hits, ha, ha.

[@malalaz66]

Man, I still know every word to this song. Absolutely amazing song. I bet you even know they would play the song in a club and people get up and dance their butts off!!!Le Freak by Chic, Get Off by Foxy. So many songs from that era this one, by far is my favorite.

[@jeffking5851]

top billboard hit in 1978... gotta love the dance vibe

[@LamonWillis]

That sound you were callig "Kazoo" was a synth keyboard sound many musicians back then referred to as "Killer Bees."

[@fmtalks1386]

Monster hit! They won the Grammy for Best New Artist.

[@wendyw4487]

back in the day. EVERY disco played this and not a single person sat it out!

[@ronbooiman7906]

One of my favourite 70s songs. I danced to the often. 👍🏼

[@jamiesweitzer8469]

That song was one you knew would be played when you were at the Roller Disco (Rolling Skate Rinks nightly event) skating to Disco under a DiscoBall shimmering.the various colored lights shined on it.

[@raytorres2685]

🎶 "Suchiachi" (Soo kee a kee) Taste of Honey other hit 👍

Ommmmg my first H.S dance they played this 1978.....and we went ballistic loved it!!!!!

Wow, thanks for playing this song. Takes me down memory lane.

Y'all gotta watch a video of these Sistas play the guitar and bass. A sight to see.

[@vry2116]

You’re so right those songs were definitely a workout! Thank you for this❤❤❤❤❤

[@WildBoreWoodWind]

The unknown instrument 'kazoo', was a synthesizer.

[@deborahburry8475]

This was a great song to roller skate to back in the day....

[@carmenrafy]

OH God how much I danced to this song. I was always drunk and yet I never drank a sip of liquor, beer or anything, it was all natural. Thank you for the reaction and memories guys. It makes me sad that you guys were not born in that era. You would have had a ball.

[@misterdoe]

I liked this one instantly when it came out, but it got overplayed and I got over it. Now it's growing on me again. I'm glad y'all chose an extended version and not one that was cut up for radio. You would also like their songs "Rescue Me," "Sayonara," and two remakes: "I'll Try Something New" (a Smokey Robinson song!) and "Sukiyaki." The lead singer, Janice Marie Johnson, is of Stockbridge-Munsee Indian background, and is in the Native American Music Hall of Fame. That first solo was not a kazoo 😂 but a guitar, but heavily compressed. (Roger Troutman and Ernie Isley used to do that a lot too.)The band GQ also has a nice version of this.

[@slimlouis6441]

I remember this from my early childhood. What a bomb ass track. I miss the ole K-Tel records.

[@michaeltipton5500]

I'll bet you two could tear up a dance floor.

[@dandaintac388]

This song was a big hit--#1 I think, and won a Grammy or two. Yet the group didn't really take off with lots of hits. I think just a couple. They had so much competition, including the Bee Gees. I think those gals had a lot of talent though. This song should be on everyone's top 10 disco list. If you haven't done so, check out "Turn the Beat Around" by Vicki Sue Robinson--another disco high water mark.

[@joemachine4714]

That Kazoo sound is electric guitar with some type of special effect pedal

[@kathenavarro6850]

Never understood why people dislike disco! Love this!

Have you ever googled Billboard Hot 100 songs for every year from 1970 -1980? Damn we loved the boogie in the 70s

[@karengoodenough827]

[@Pickles0607]

Taking me back way back. This came out my senior year of Highschool

[@decolonizeEverywhere]

The year I turned 21 some wonderful people took an abandoned four story Brick Warehouse two blocks from my home and transformed it into the quintessential european-style discotheque. We spent some time dancing to the music in our living room when we were too broke for the cover, but spent an equal amount of time dancing for hours on a crowded dance floor under a set of glittering disco balls with the music so loud you could feel it as well as you could hear it. The guys were in polyester leisure suits, wide collared polyester shirts with at least the top three buttons open and platform shoes. The girls in short skirts and and sparkly crop tops, 4in heels, 4in hoops and big hair. But that generation was generally in much better health and much more physically active than today's 20 something kids. Of course the 1980s was before AIDS made sex hazardous to your health. Which had a similar effect on things during that time as covid has had on recent times. You can see a definite before and after line and how people behaved and it really was a shame because things like disco music brought people together and made them happy. And then AIDS came and took all that happiness away. It took Freddie Mercury from us. That decade really was golden and it was a result of lots of protests and Sacrifice by previous generations and the music of the time was a celebration. The Vietnam War had ended and its subsequent draft as well. The Civil Rights Movement had changed things and people who had lost confidence in the greatest Generations government. Then there was the 80s Regan Clinton era economic bubble made it so everybody had at least one credit card in their wallet and you were still able to pay your credit card bill with another credit card. And we all had a low interest mortgage for an amount that was higher than we really could afford to pay. That's the basis for the current predatory banking system that owns 60% of the single-family homes in the US and are turning us all into a nation of renters with no personal Equity to pass on to our children or use as collateral to start a business. But it was a grand bubble while it lasted and we enjoyed every minute of it. But drug cartels gang violence and AIDS knocked that house of cards down. I'm glad I was one of those 20 something clubbers and had the experience before the world went nuts again. And I'm happy that the two of you are getting a glimpse of that world
