[@richardcurtis5281]

I'm 64 yrs old, I got DOWN with my bad self listening to that! But then I couldn't get back up... 😊

[@jeffreyflint6286]

Same here man. I'm 64 too lol.😂

[@Guildofarcanelore]

I've fallen and I can't get up..

[@fhat6924]

Im 57 i did the same thing but i got back up, it hurt thou

[@chinchillacrystal6899]

So relatable 😂

[@sallyphillips9175]

I'm 56 and can get up, but it takes me a while. And I groan the whole time!

[@Lemons66]

At my age, I still pop, lock, and drop!! Something pops, I lock up, and drop in excruciating pain!!

[@earth2kosmickitty]

Yeah like that I've fallen and I can't get up type of pain! 😫😫🤣

[@Jude_196]

's awright - we're still POPPIN', LOCKIN', and DROPPIN' in our MINDS, right?? :)

[@christophermarshall3551]

Lol 😂

[@Heartstrings_Skyla]

I hear you. This song is awesome. I drop-down and pop my back out on purpose, then crawl away.

[@langlsd1604]

SAME!!!! As much as getting old sucks, it’s better than the alternative, lol.

[@brinsonopinion]

I cannot overstate how big this song was on EVERY dance floor, across every boundary! Freakazoid became regular slang, it was so popular.

[@teriwilkinson7816]

55 yrs old here! Thank you . Skating rink music.memories❤

[@lifegood3322]

Yeah! When this came out every little town in USA big enough for Greyhound to stop in had a skating rink! So many great memories and thanks for reminding me!😂

[@msmrsro]

Totally!

Yes totally. 49 yrs old here

[@stumm71]

Go to the origins! Kraftwerk!!!

[@msgSharke]

Jam on it!!!!! Fantastic

[@Guildofarcanelore]

I would love to see them react to Rock it

[@davidmorgan1408]

In the 80s club scene, this was an irresistible call to the dance floor. The biggest one (for me, anyway) was You Spin Me Round from Dead or Alive.

[@poppingjaz]

Freakazoid was a person who was a freak. Lol we used that term often. This was a dancefloor classic

[@damonbryan7232]

Oh Boy Remember the dance floor at the skating ring. Watching all the wall flowers start walking in when commanded.

[@briansharvill1794]

Such a blast from my youth... always a favorite. Class of 83 here jammin to REAL music.

[@kaniala6817]

Same class as you "83" and we were jammin to this in Hawaii as well!!

[@bqkmg2037]

Shout out to the class of 1983.... another 83er here too.

[@idabelle6792]

I use to dance my butt off to this.

[@armynurseboy]

This was the jam to break dance to back in the early 80's.

[@johncentamore1052]

"Yeah, gonna take a break after this song, get something to drink, it's hot in here"...."Oh hell, Freakazoid! Not going anywhere yet!"

[@tinahairston6383]

They was used in the Breakin'2 Electric Boogaloo movie. There's a great break dance sequence (not to this song) reminiscent of Fred Astaire's dance on the ceiling from Royal Wedding. You should check it out since you love the pop n lock dancing is a favorite, lol. The Breakin' movies were cheesy fun! RIP Adolfo "Shabba Doo" Quinone. You would've seen him and other members of the movie dancing in Chaka Khan's I Feel For You video.

[@allisterfiend_2112]

This song and Def Leppard's Rock of Ages were all over the radio at this time.

[@nancysmith8626]

Which perfectly explains why radio was magic back then!

[@Salty_Devil]

No Parking on the Dance Floor 😊😊

[@LMmccallL57]

@Salty_Devil If you're suggesting they react to this song, they did so at least a year ago.

[@Salty_Devil]

@@LMmccallL57 I'm not, just asking that they not park on the dance floor 😋

[@LMmccallL57]

​@@Salty_Devil Oops! 😊 Sorry about that. I know Jordan mentioned it in the video, but I didn't know if you caught that. I was mentioning it in case you wanted to see the reaction. 🙂

[@carlmuhammad3968]

THIE WAS A CLUB BANGER IN THE 80S !!!!

[@Fmanzo10]

Club, skating rink, rec center dance.. It was everywhere…

[@joesmith8725]

Yes! Electrofunk. Breakdance music. Early hip hop. Skating rink vibes when we were kids ('80s). Yup, they would play this at those. Lol. Check out Newcleus next! Jam on it! Pop lock it and do the robot! Ha!

[@splashofun]

"Wet My Whistle" was also one of their Funky Bangers!

[@lookylooky84]

Yes! Definitely do "Wet My Whistle!"

[@johnraymondponce7783]

Midnight Star had a lot of hits

[@melhall17]

" The Midas Touch" and " Night Rider" 2 big hits for Midnight Star

[@ruff500]

"Operator"🙂

[@nancysmith8626]

Love "Night Rider"! Flew under the radar more than their other huge hits, but it was great.

[@Lovejazz01]

We used to say Night Rider was Midnight Star’s MJ Billie Jean copy, but we loved it! 😄

[@Jude_196]

ANOTHER skating rink song that EVERYONE SKATED TO!!! :) LOVE IT!!!

[@lisacurran3599]

I’m 58 and this was great music to skate to, doing the Shuffle 🤩 how I miss these days! I just had a heart December 3rd and Open Heart Surgery January 12th. I’m already skating around the parks, horse riding, and my favorite thing is taking my boat out fishing 🎣 🐟🦐🛼🐴♥️

[@danrumble74]

This song brings back great memories of a simpler time 😊

[@chrishildebrand1836]

Yes, yes, yes! My college music! We danced the heck out of this song and many other great 80's songs, especially 12" versions! My daughter loves this song too!

[@mamamac70]

This was my jam when I was 13! Really that whole album was a banger. ❤ And I never really paid much attention to what the lyrics were. It was just a bop to dance to. 💃 😊

[@bethshadid2087]

Omg i havent heard the banger in awhile.....love it ❤

[@ShawnBrown-x8c]

Ooohhhh I love this song! It was always a good time back in the day. Definitely a Banger in the 80’s house party scene ❤️

[@glennherron9499]

Midnight Star, SOS Band.... so many from the 80s are unforgettable!

[@leannlaplante3643]

This played at the all age dance club, The Metropolis. There, the dance The Smurf was what we did with this song and others. The club was very underground for its time. They did not make those of us under 18 leave before it closed at 0400.

[@562goodguy]

The ladies of Skyy proved the ladies of the 80's took a backseat to no one. "Call Me" by Skyy was a funky hit on the dance floor and house parties in 1981. You couldn't have a party without that song.

[@kimberlinibambini1968]

Bringing me back old school! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🤎🤍👍✌️

[@Almcingrid3663]

Oh, yeah! I was on the dance floor everytime! I still remember the lyrics.

[@raybernal6829]

I was 20 when Midnight Star exploded on the music scene and spinning jams at weddings and parties... There songs were a must and jammed to dance floor ... 😊

[@charlesallen2306]

1987, Phoenix AZ cruising Central Ave bumping this jam!!

[@joshsmith302]

Amber and Jordan you may like Debarge (Rhythm of the Night) 80s and fun. Keep up with the good work 😎👍

[@elementelnins1864]

Josh , I remember about 2 or so years ago when they reacted to I Like It and J said it was fire and Bunny DeBarge even commented on it.Since then I have requested they do more DeBarge several times and I am still waiting, I also requested Switch and Chico DeBarge. Hopefully if more people request DeBarge they will do it.

[@matthewmarcinko9157]

Yet another mid 80's jam that ALWAYS had the dance floor packed within seconds of it starting. If you were a club hopper in the eighties, you know how smokin' hot songs like these were in the dance clubs...

[@puppetsnob]

I found a KZbin video circa 1983 where they did this live in Los Angeles. So many keyboards on stage! The energy on that was way higher than this music video.

[@bertisjordan1085]

I was a poppin and lockin sensation when this was out. Oh the memories!

[@michaeljoy3731]

As a 52 year old white guy, this song has always been on top of my feel good songs. Can't stay still. Thanks for the reaction.

[@acorrado5529]

This one was very popular in the dance clubs- thanks for the fun memories!

[@Alex_TheeGreat...]

You can't go wrong with Old-School 👊👊

[@shelbyatwell5883]

No doubt

[@Lovejazz01]

💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥

[@alwaysengines]

They were the ultimate 80’s funk band.

[@janethernandez724]

Great! Jay you are right, we were tearing it up on the roller-skating floor! When this song came on, we also saw guys doing their popping and locking routines on the carpet area of the roller-skating rink too. Those were awesome times and great music! I enjoyed your video reaction! ☮ and 💕

[@dolphinbear661]

Dancefloor FILLER back in the day! 💃

[@sallyphillips9175]

Bringing back high school memories! 1983 ... depending on month, I was either a freshman or sophomore.

[@DorianStarkey]

Junior High we was jamming to this entire album!

[@johnnyb8deuce]

I was 2 years old when the “No parking on the dance floor” album came out . I just remember my parents would all have this album blasting out the stereo. One of my first memories and a reason I have a love for funk music .

[@alejandrobojorquez6181]

HERBIE HANCOCK - " ROCK IT " ( Official Video ) Club Bangers 1983 Totally Different Song released much later same title like LIPPS INK's Rock It ) but not at all the same song, yet it's so groovy too both songs are equally Awesome

[@NewDayNewLight]

Love when the kiddos find poppop’s oldies but goodies!!…. GET OFF MY TURNTABLES!!!

[@andreasoice5905]

So excited! Danced around when I saw Midnight Star!💖😍

[@joelhahn2501]

Jam On It, by Newcleus. It will have Jay break-dancing and Amber entranced with the story told in the lyrics!

[@PML78]

I DO IT RIGHT CAUSE I CANT DO IT WRONG THATS WHY THE WHOLE WORLD IS SINGING THIS SONG... JAMONIT😎

[@flodee8561]

Ahhhh!! Love it! This is a classic right here. My pre-teen and teenage years. Yes. I always threw down with this jam!

[@deelawson4551]

This takes me back to 14 at the school dance doing the Alligator(one of our 80 dances) to this song! LOVE it! Always loved this sound too..Another one I liked was Pac Jam and Space Cowboy(my fave)...both by the Jonzun Crew also Apache by the Sugarhill Gang,,

[@NeptuneLady1957]

I am 67 and this was my dance song!!! Love it! Z-O-I-D-S..shake your body like you just don't care..we won't stop don't stop..YEAH BABY!!

[@chrisabdalla9429]

Amazing how much influence Kraftwerk's "Trans Europe Express" had on early hip-hop and electro funk like this. You can hear it all over the place here.

[@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13]

Now I remember this song!! I used to be a teenage dancing fool to this song back in the day!

[@bamabound0312]

YESSSSS! This is definitely on my workout playlist. ❤❤❤

[@josephadiaz8343]

This was fun to dance to, a lot of people danced the robot to this. 😊

[@shellyj987]

We were Smurfin!💃💃😂😂

[@drwatsonca6945]

Great choice. I remember listening to this quite a few times. A fun song to dance too.

[@stephenulmer3781]

The bus driver in high school used to turn this one up and her as well as most of the kids on the bus sang along. It was the 80s 😊

[@edkeaton]

Jay and Amber, thank you both so much for reacting to "Midnight Star"! This was the jam back when I was growing up in the 80s!! You both should react to "Slow Jam" by this same group. You'd both love it! Thanks for all that you do for your channel! Stay blessed! 😎👍❤️🙏🎉

[@e.bennet4454]

Jay's chair dancing is epic! 🤣🤣🤣 Y'all are too much fun!

[@butterflymama0838]

Oh man!! I was a junior in high school then. This brings great dance memories back to me!! I haven't heard this for 37 years!! God, I feel so, so old!🙄🤦🏼‍♀️ THANK YOU FOR THIS ONE🥰💃🏼 Ohhhh...we were freaky for sure, Amber 😏😂🔥

[@caesiyt]

Hi, J. & Amber! Another Midnight Star funk hits: "Midas Touch", "Headlines", "Don't Rock the Boat (featuring Ecstasy from Whodini)" just to name a few. They have some real good slow jams like ""Searching for Love", "Move Me", Follow the Path", "Slow Jam", "Let's Celebrate", "Love Song" and the list goes on. Ramdomly suggestion: "Get Down Saturday Night" by Oliver Cheatham.

[@DavidMArmbruster]

Hamburg roller rink, 1982.....life was soo much better then!

[@rudymenchaca9340]

They were just great with their unique style and sound thanks guys

[@Friend_Of_The_Muse]

LOL "The PEW PEWS" If that dont define it I dont know what does.😄

[@mkmstillstackin]

Totally takes me back to the old house party days of my pre-teen years! "Electricity", was also another one of their jams I'd recommend.

[@PML78]

Yes... that's a pop lockin jam too 80s old skool lives in my blood whatever age I am 😎

[@mkmstillstackin]

@@PML78 nothing wrong with that... I'm with you!

[@caminoracer7987]

Saw midnight star as opening act for cameo on Halloween night at the Fox Theater in Atlanta Georgia back in the day and man what a show!!

[@Jude_196]

YOU GO, JAY!!! Don't hold it back: LET IT GO, MAN!!! :) ENJOY!! THIS ONE made me SMILE, IMMEDIATELY!!! :) THANKS, YA'LL!!

[@NadrojChronicles]

Midnight Star was one of my favorite 80s music artist. Some of their other hits you have not reacted to are Wet My Whistle, Electricity, Midas Touch, Snake in the Grass and Don't Rock That Boat was their last big hit in 1990.

[@racing2cat]

Right up there with other dance faves: Robocop (Dance Til You Drop), Get It Girl, The Ride Inside, The Cars That Go Boom, Don't Stop the Rock. All guaranteed to make you shake a groove! Those of us must listen to with caution - freak dancing can cause hip dislocation!! 🤣❤

[@bennett8535]

Not sure which came first; this song or the dance "Freak" but in my mind they are forever linked. Anyone here remember freaking on the dance floor?

[@TheSmokey999]

Jr high days ❤, and the 80s 🔥.

[@TS-ef2gv]

This takes me right back to the fall of '83. I was going to school five hours away that fall and made the round trip drive every weekend. A five hour drive from home on Sunday night to attend that school week, and a five hour drive back home on Friday evenings. Ten hours in a car every weekend with nothing but a radio for entertainment will forever drill into your head anything that was getting a lot of airplay at that time. As I passed through and near towns, stations faded in and out, and I chased up and down the dial for a signal, any signal, I feel like I heard this song about every fifteen minutes. 😄 Also Uptown Girl, (Ain't Nothin' Gonna) Break My Stride, Total Eclipse of the Heart, Safety Dance, etc. If it was getting Top 40 airplay that fall, it's drilled into my brain. People who were alive back then will recognize the monotone, synthesized robotic voice on this song as being "inspired by" the voice of the Cylons on the late '70s sci-fi TV series Battlestar Gallactica.

[@lepoetress]

Y'all were working those chairs, I love it!!!

[@myproject13ttt]

If you guys only knew how many popping and breaking sessions, I was involved in in the 80s, with this song... To many. When's the B-Boy always a B-Boy 👊🔥

[@scotthurley208]

I loved this song in the 80’s! If you like this…you should watch the 80’s movie “Revenge of the NERDS”. The Nerds perform their own rendition of this song. Love it!

[@beckiramsey9561]

Glad you did this one!! Awesome !! Knew you would love this one!!😂😂 Love you guys !!❤❤😂😂

[@DE-vs2xy]

Yes yes yeeeesssssss! More more more classic breakdance, electro funk, hip hop! 🔥

[@timme2844]

Many a crowded sweaty dance grooved to this one! All you need is a smoke'n Geri Curl and your set... well that's a start anyway lol!

[@raymondohlsen5054]

There I was, a young Marine overseas, my pitcher of Mojo, and a beautiful Philippina woman sitting with me. This song as well as many others. Such a joy to be 20 years old in the 80's!.

[@shannonk.moorer9158]

This was their breakthrough hit, which lasted for 4-5 albums. High school memories. My jam from this album is Wet My Whistle. Slow Jam was its third big hit.

[@aarontaylor1688]

I LOVE this song!!!!

[@barbarino2000]

Skating rinks were on fire once the DJ played this one.

[@chicagocubs71]

[@katzablot599]

Jay was feeling this one. 😂 Great tune from my high school years.

[@shelbyatwell5883]

Great reaction! Jay you are a hoot to watch! I love it.

[@canonfodder2068]

Wheee! Freak-a-zoid and Atomic Dog back to back followed by The Roof Is On Fire by Rock Master Scott & the Dynamic Three then Zap- I Can Make You Dance and I would stay on the dance floor until my mascara was on my knees.

[@shawngross5420]

Yes, Atomic Dog!

A similar band (also from Cincinnati) you guys need to check out is ZAPP Featuring Roger. I recommend "Dance Floor" "Doo Wah Diddy" and "More Bounce to the Ounce".

[@joemachine4714]

Another Midnite Star dance banger is "Electricity" pronounced E-Lectricity 💃 🕺 🎶

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

YES! Hope they visit that one NEXT!
