Lyrics:
Party people
Party people
Can y'all get funky?
Soul Sonic Force - can y'll get funky?
The Zulu Nation - can y'll get funky?
Yaaah!
Just hit me
Just taste the funk and hit me
Just get on down and hit me
Bambaataa's gettin' so funky, now, hit me
Yaaah!
Just hit me
It's time to chase your dreams
Up out ya seats, make your body sway
Socialize, get down, let your soul lead the way
Shake it now, go ladies, it's a livin' dream
Love Life Live
Come play the game, our world is free
Do what you want but scream
We know a place where the nights are hot
It is a house of funk
Females and males
Both young and old, called the disco
The D.J. plays your favorite blast
Takes you back to the past, music's magic (puff)
Bump bump bump get bump with some flash, people
Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop (x2)
The Soul Sonic Force - Mr. Biggs, Pow Wow, and M.C. Globe
We emphasize to show, we got ego
Make this your night, just slip it right, and by day
As the people say, live it up, shucks
No work or play, our world is free
Be what you be - be
Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop (x2)
You're in a place where the nights are hot
Where nature's children dance and say the chants
On this Mother Earth, which is our rock
The time has come, and work for soul, show you really got soul
Are you ready hump bump bump, get bump, now let's go, house
Twist and turn, the you let your body slide
You got the body rock and pop, bounce and pounce
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop
Keep tickin' and tockin', work it all around the clock
Everybody keep rockin' and clockin' and shockin' and rockin', go house
Everybody say, rock it, don't stop it (Crowd repeats)
Well hit me, Mr. Biggs (Crowd repeats)
Pow Wow (Crowd repeats)
G-L-O-B-E (Crowd repeats)
The Soul Sonic Force
You gotta rock it, pop it, cause it's the century
There is such a place that creates such a melody
Our world is but a land of a master jam, get up and dance
It's time to chase your dreams
Up out your seats, make your body sway
Socialize, get down, let your soul lead the way
Shake it now, go ladies, it's a livin' dream
Love Life Live
Zih Zih Zih Zih Zih (ad lib)
Everybody say, rock it, don't stop it (Crowd repeats)
Everybody say, shockin' and clockin' (Crowd repeats)
Everybody say, ichi ni san shi (Crowd repeats)
Say, Planet Rock (Crowd repeats)
It's the sure shot (Crowd repeats) (x2)
So twist and turn, then you let your slide n' glide
You got the body rock and pop, bounce and pounce
So hit me
Just taste the funk and hit me
Just get on down and hit me
Bambaataa's gettin' so funky, now hit me
Every piece of the world
Rate the message of our words
All men, women, boys, and girls, hey our Planet Rock is superb
Get on it
You got the groove, move (ad lib)
Feel the groove - feel it
Do what ya want but ya know ya got to be cool and boogie
Out on the floor, go down
Bring it low
Close to the ground
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it, gotta rock it
Don't stop
Keep tickin' and tockin'
Work it all around the clock
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop (repeats)

I don't think people understand and appreciate the creativity that was utilized at the beginning of Hip Hop.

[@motherfuckergs2948]

I love this, money are destroying the world

[@JazzyAmbitions]

They was not doing nothing new when it came to stage presence.... Evidence of preexisting examples exits. Now as for the utilization of dancers talent in that respect at that time became huge. So what's left?.... Lyrics and instrumentals! 75% of the times the beats carry the song! The other 30% lyrics!........ Now. Knowing this all i can do is appreciate the organizers! Work done on stage and to promote the music. Nothing new under the Sun! It's about promoting, creating a certain vibe and rolling it out.

​@@stevewallis661 Here is what it says within the community. Quote "Afrika Bambaataa's “Planet Rock,” the pioneering 1982 single that helped give birth to hip-hop and electro, was based on two Kraftwerk songs, but it didn't technically sample either of them. Instead, Bambaataa and producer Arthur Baker recreated the synthesizer melody and drum-machine patterns themselves." The idea might have come from Kraftwerk, dont get me wrong I am a huge Kraftwerk fan, but the actual Beat was reinvented. Kraftwerk is legendary but Planet Rock as a song is the mother of all electronic Hip hop beats.

I'm a bit too old and broken down, but any dance class for hip hop or break dancing really needs to use this. If you're teaching a new generation use the songs that started it off.

1982... this tune, BMX bikes, "record players", and listening to Tim Westwood on the radio on a Wednesday night when I should have been studying! Don't regret a minute of those days. PR was certainly THE electro tune...and still is....fantastic....AB and the SSF....you are true stars, thank you for your inspiration...

[@taina6359]

The beginning of hip-hop. That's how we Boricuas & Blacks invented hip-hop. Back in the day the South Bronx. This generation take notes. That's how we settled beefs too. With dance battles & in peace. Back in the day it was the best.🙌🏼👊🏼💪🏼💯

[@cprocel96]

I like the way people like to sugar coat how shit was back in the those days. "That's how we settled beefs too, with dance battles & peace"? Yeah until someone hit you in the back of the head with a fucking bottle while you were doing windmills or you would get punched in the face while you served someone during an uprock battle LMFAO. I saw it all back in the day at the clubs like The Roxie's, The Funhouse, Gotham's West, Infernos, Danceteria, Bond's International, The Peppermint Lounge, The Roof Top, Roseland, First Class in the Bronx etc. People were animals back then as they are now, just take a look at the 2020 riots for a huge example of there savage behavior, but that is just a prelude of things to come, a fucking movie trailer. 2022 will be a very interesting year.

The beat, the epic keyboard riff, the whole damn track... it is all built upon samples of Kraftwerk's "Trans Europe Express." Those Germans were way ahead of their time, and deserve credit for their contributions which gave birth to hip hop, electro, and techno music. Know your samples people!!!
