For some reason the lyric video for Jason Derulo's Wiggle, caused the account to be in bad standing, therefor if Lyric Boss receives any more copyright strikes it will be forced to stop making videos.

I remember a kid blasting this on a boombox on the last day of school! Great song, first listen since that first one. At the time didn't realize what a dark song it was. Now I think it's even greater than I did before.
It a beautiful piece
The wizards... They are invading fast food places...
WE ARE HIRING WIZARDS WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
I heard this song at dog n shake
Shut up, all of you.
This played yesterday while I was grocery shopping. 😎

Driving with my old man in the car and i always sought out his Eddy Grant album, this a core memory :')
Old but gold!!!
My dad had a mixtape CD with his favorite 1980s songs on there, like Atomic Dog, Livin’ On A Prayer and others including this song. And when I was like 4 or 6 years old he would play the mixtape in the player of our white Yukon Denali whenever we drove anywhere.
My mom would blast this song in the car to annoy my little brother and I actually really like this song 😂❤
rockin city like philadelphia..

I live in Streatham Hill. Everytime I pass Electric Avenue I think of this song.

First time I ever heard this song I was watching pine apple express and never knew the beat or singer and i just now decided to look it up still sounds good as the first time I heard it 5 years ago
Great tune
THE BOSS!!
This always reminds me of my father. We would always party in the 2000s together getting beautiful woman. I miss you pal! We would either be in the Vet or the Escalade depending on your mood. The greatest times of my life. Vegas baby!
Turn it up!
My family and I drove to Miami from New York and their was a building painted with a man on a motorcycle with goggles, Scarf the whole outfit smoke coming out and above his head it said Electric Avenue, that song was on the radio back then.😊
Finally found the right one
Brooklyn! 1985 !
Im so glad i thought of this song this afternoon. And so glad #UA-cam has a search function. #ElectricAvenue

Why's the song so funky and the lyrics somewhat depressing?
I’m told Electric Avenue was the first neighborhood in Johannesburg, South Africa to get wired for electric power. Apart-hate, I mean Apartheid, was still official government policy in South Africa when this song came through on MTV in the 1980s. A little white boy like me in those days was surrounded by racism at all levels: A.) My Northern Anglo-American parents had no beef with dark skin, but they also had no apparent affinity with Black culture. B.) My Southern schoolmates and schoolteachers were prone to episodes of extremely overt racism, like calling me “N-lover” for little or no reason or teaching us that a certain peculiar institution was justified by white folks’ inability to work in the hot sun-and then paddling me for asking “So where does the term ‘Redneck’ come from?” C.) Between those two wells of racism (home and school), National Lampoon magazines and movies were the gold standard of raunchy comedy to us kids.😅 I cherish this song! “Electric Avenue” is a work of genius! To have gotten this message to the masses through a medium as Capitalist as MTV, Eddie Grant must be nothing short of a GOD 👑

Everytime i see a video which is +9years old i feel like a this was upload on 2000 but then i realize it was 2016
I always thought the lyrics used to be "Don't do Electric Avenue." instead of "Down to Electric Avenue".
