    In case you were wondering, the part of the song that’s in “izz slang” tells the story of a dude who wants the rope jumping girls to move so the guys can play basketball, but the girls are having none of it. Then he mentions that his girl plays Double Dutch, which is the part that Missy Elliott sampled.
    Here are the lyrics from that bit:
    Millze gillzot sillzomebillzody plillzays dillzouble dillzzutch (Me got somebody plays Double Dutch)
    Whozzo? (Who?)
    My gizzirl! (My girl!)
    Brillzing her izzin! (Bring her in!)
    Izzo kizzay? (Is OK?)
    Izzall rizzight (Is alright)
    Izzo kizzay? (Is OK?)
    Izzall rizzight! nizzow wilzee wilzill zillzee (Is alright! Now we will see)

    I grew up with this music. I still know every word at 52. Growing up in the south (especially near New Orleans), was such a blessing. So many cultures to share with each other. I miss those days so much. I hate how recent politics have had such a divisive effect on people. Most kids now will never experience how well we blended…..no one was obsessed with being offended, maybe because we had respect for each other as just plain old human beings. The world has gotten so overly dramatic and entitled.

      While in a dance line, were there specific dance moves that you'd do to this song, or would you do your own dance moves? This song seems to say "do the double dutch" as if its a set of dance moves, but the people around Frankie Smith aren't all doing the same moves. So it makes me think someone invented a dance for this.

    The first song that comes to mind when someone says roller rink music is, Shake Your Groove Thing by Peaches & Herb. Reunited, was their most popular slow song.

    The true hip hop heads (like Missy) know Frankie Smith and the Izzo slang is from Philly! We were talking like this as little kids before the song debuted...and our parents hated that we had a language they couldnt understand in the early 80s haha...Respect to Biggie, Jay Z, Snoop for also using it...glad u guys know now too!

    A funky classic. Back in 2008 Raven Symone did a pretty good version of this. If you're not familiar with her, she was the youngest daughter on the Cosby show in the 80s and in recent years on that talk show, the view

    Memorizing every word of this song was the challenge of the decade when I was younger. Took me more than a month catching it on the radio and then finally getting a cassette tape copy...🤣😋

    LOL, I remember this song! I was in high school in the early 80s, and while I was (and still am) primarily a rocker, I was also a Top 40 fan, and enjoyed hearing some of the current hits of the day. While I'm not sure (without looking it up) if this was a hit single, I am pretty sure this was a hit on the r&b chart, and the local top 40 station I listened to (KIQQ, in L.A.) most definitely played it! I'm pretty sure I haven't heard it since then! At the time, I just thought it was silly, but looking back, I think it's kinda cute! 😅
