"Double Dutch Bus" is a 1981 funk song by Frankie Smith, made famous for its extensive use of the "izz" infix form of slang. The song title represents a combination of two institutions in Smith's Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, neighborhood: the double Dutch game of jump rope played by neighborhood kids, and the SEPTA bus system that was a backbone of the local transportation network (and for which Smith had unsuccessfully applied for a bus driving position; the Transpass referred to in the song is an actual SEPTA pass). Smith and co-writer Bill Bloom persuaded contacts at WMOT Records to finance the song, and it was recorded in the summer of 1981, engineered by Gene Leone. The song rocketed to popularity in a matter of weeks. On the U.S. Billboard R&B chart, it held the number one spot for eight weeks. It also crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number 30 in the summer of 1981.[1] The record has received two separate gold certifications, one for sales of the 7" edit, and a second gold record for sales of the 12" single. - Фільми й анімація

I grew up in Philly, roller skating and listening to Double Dutch bus. When I had kids, in an effort to share my love of old school music with my kids, I made them CDs and included this song. One day while walking into the grocery store, my then 4 year old son grabbed ny hand and said, "Mom, do you have any funky bus fare? Ho"!!!!
Philly in the 80s used to bounce ... So many great concerts ...The FRESH FEST at THE SPECTRUM
I met Frankie Smith at smedley elementary School in Frankfort. I was like 10 years old. Our music teacher was good friends with him. This video looks like Philly.

😂😂
I grew up in the Mountains of NC, but i had my roller skates on listening to this❤❤❤😊
This song got the party started at my wedding and I gotta say we made our parents proud with this one.
Hands down, the most undisputed roller rink jam of all time. Classic.
No doubt ! Remember roller skating being the craze in the late 70s and early 80s. This was big at the roller rinks.
Desde Panamá baile estos tema de niño mucho recuerdo con Franklin Smith

This sure was the Skating Rink Song.🤟🤟
We can thank this man for the "izzle" and "eezy" phenomenon in Hip-Hop lingo! I'm sure Snoop Dogg and E-40 loved this song growing up.
EXACTLY 💯
@@therealdeal26 "Dzzubble Dzzutch."."Buh zarbra"....loved those parts, never forgot that wacky pig latin-esque line....loved this song in my youth !
most importantly missy Elliot, she sampled this
And missy Elliott
Yup. Its the izzle talk, jive talk. Started in the east coast like NYC, Harlem, Philly and in the west coast bay area Oakland, SF, California. '80s. All the rappers like Snoop Dogg, Missy Elliott , etc grew up listening to this kind of stuff and lot of older hip hop sampled funk music.
People just dont realize how much Philly had an impact on popular culture in the 70s.. Philly soul... some of the best disco... big labels... all gone.
RIP TP
Thank you Frankie Smith for putting the fun in funk with this song... RIP
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSugar!
I sang with Frankie in a church choir in West Philly after his Double Dutch bus fame. Seriously and honestly, one of the nicest guys I've ever met.
I still dig this song, I even tried to do his dance,with my grandkids, all they said oh it's cool, but when they thought I wasn't looking, they broke it down in their own style.
Was this filmed in West Philly? Looks like Philadelphia. I like how the video focuses on the kids, awesome!

How cool is that!! I wish I was You SALUTTOS CORNUTTOS 🤘😎🤘

Your so right😊
What an odd, fun, and funky ass song. I love it. There is truly no other song like this
Except for Word Up by Cameo... Not exactly the same, but they were definitely suspiciously influenced.
This is just a fun fun song, like "I Got A Man'!:)
I play this for my Daycare kids! We love to dance to this song!
I’m still listening haha 2024😂🤣💪🏽
No hair weaves, no wigs or lace fronts 🗣 No sagging pants, nor sexually explicit anything. I can dig it! 🥳
Definitely. I sure do miss the motown an soul train days.

The best times of our lives.

Song peaked at #30 on the billboard hot 100 in 1981 in USA
#1 on the R & B charts for four weeks

May he Rest In Peace 🙏🏽❤️

It's sad how the music industry works. He was living in a trailer home. The music company stole his rights to this song and paid him some stupid amount for this song. If I remember correctly he was litigation for years trying to get his rights back or more money. I believe he had diabetes really bad.
My father played this record when we were growing up….I will always have those fond memories. I miss you Daddy!🙏🏽
May God rest his soul Y Kristina😊😊

ME I WAS IN A DOUBLE DUTCH TEAM THIS WAS OUR SONG I WON 1ST PLACE FOR OUR TEAM IN 1982 THE BEST YEARS
I'm sixty now, and I still love this song as much as I did when I was twenty-one. For me it's timeless!
I feel the same way brother I'm 61 and what I used to walk to the clubs in my 20s and 30s I'd hear it and you can't help it move and I found out that when I hear it in the house I still got some of the same old moves I'll be at just a little slower
Double dutch bus coming down the street
Dancing to the rhythm that you just can't beat
Reading your comments makes me wish so badly that those of us who are 55 and older could go to a stomp in a big, sweaty, high school gymnasium that smells like tube socks where only hits like these from the 80s were being cranked out and we could re-live our teen years dancing for just a few hours.
@@csheets40 I'm 62 and I remember that smell vividly thank you for reminding me and I agree with u
The no-vocals part from 2:31 to 3:01 makes me happy because to me it is the pure sound of a warm summer afternoon.
Your comment took me there. It is just that.
Something missing for alot of songs now in days
Same here. 😀
I was a kid growing up in the 70s in NYC area, wore bell-bottom pants, listened to all these old school songs. Fast-forward to the present when kids in their 20s hear old songs from the 80s, 90s that are remixed, they try arguing it's a new song and how do I know some of the lyrics? I have to let them know to look up the originals on UA-cam, cause the songs came out before they were born. 😆
This song is TIMELESS! And to think back in 1980 he was rapping to the track when rap wasn't that popular. Some people are just way ahead of their time. Thank you Frankie Smith for a classic that I still jam to this day. Rest In Peace (1940-2019).
Back then it was called, "the rap".
Ya murio franf smit
Sad thing is he didn't receive a dime this song. He was cheated out of it by his promoters.

@@bobbymoore8Yeah I remember they highlighted his story on City Confidential. It was this White dude who was a dentist and they claim they he was the biggest coke dealer on the east coast, at the time. Apparently he had some role with this Classic song!!!
This song was in my head for years and I finally found it 😅 what a relief
Me too! I just found it today! That's crazy right? I was 11 when it came out. This video is even better than I could have imagined 💗
I heard it at work today and spent a good half hour trying to find it bc all i could find was missy eliot's gossip folks and i thought i had lost my mind hearing that chorus in a different song
This made me laugh lol
I can relate. Fun music.
Same here, every time I could listen to it I tryed to find it and finally some years ago🤙
I was in 6th grade when this song came out. I bought it as a 45 and it was the very first record I ever bought with my own money. Needless to say I played that record to death!
I grew up with this song. I still love listening to it as a middle aged man today😊
Look at my people having fun, no disrespect, no mean mugs, all smiles!

In the projects in the early 80s...this song reminds me of all my freinds i made...no color or race...just good music and kids having fun....
Exactly, that was when community was family and life was safer :)
You rite, music breaks through ANY RACE WALL'S. GOD BLESS.
@Darrel WP thats my point ...no need to inform me nothing....
This was such a nice post by Mr Doge, why people coming under here with intense comments? Lets just dance. LOL Get it Frankie! and the cute Little kids :)
Thank you for this comment....I remember being poor and yet I lacked nothing...just have fun and help the needy. Community at its best
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. I just love Frankie Smith. ❤❤❤❤❤❤. He has such excellent rhythm. Dances in tune with the music. I also love his dancers. 🙋
I remember dancing to this at clubs in the 80's...EVERYONE loved it!
Just taught my students how to double-dutch and it was the time of their lives today.
Thanks for doing that. In Philly, were Frankie is from, girls jumped double dutch all day. Kept them our Black girls in shape. Nowadays if they could jump double dutch on a video game on their phones would be considered a good thing.
Yes yes yes!! Little girls don’t jump rope anymore 😩
I was 18 when this song came out in 1981, and I still love it. RIP Frankie Smith.
I was 26 in 81, now 67 ,reminds me of where I lived in 1981. Chicago different place at that time.
Thanks for putting a date on this. I was wondering when this came out

I jammed as a baby to this in the 80s… my baby is jamming to this in the 20s now.
Good Lord this is great. I've never seen this before. The people in this just seem more real and down to earth than people do now. Those days are gone forever - that is too bad.
Right
It's real sad
Yes and it's really sad.
No still dance no judgement here
Absolutely! Everything and everyone was Organic back then. What a shame.
No cursing, no violence and no misogyny yet this classic jam remains a timeless gem!
Those were the good old days, I can still hear this song the way it was played throughout my neighborhood back in the 80's
typo back in the 80's
i would dance with you.:)
I still have this album
1981... I almost die in a car accident on August 10 of that year, and while recovering this was the song I listened to like a hundred times a day! My teenage neighbor, who later became my girlfriend, played it real loud all day long.

My sister recorded this song off the radio for me when we were kids in the early 80s cause every time the song would finish on the radio i would cry cause i loved the song so much i was like 4 or 5 years old. She passed away in 2012 and everytime i want to go back to those beautiful days being a kid and having my whole fam around me i put this on and now i cry as soon as it comes on, i miss u ofelita mora 1970-2012 rest in paradise. We will see eachother soon.... but not yet.

I felt that.😢
It's amazing how music can shift our mood instantly. Hang in there. You will see her eventually.
Sorry for your loss. Cherish the memories.
Living and working in Los Angeles back in the late 70’s driving city buses. This was our wake up song. Those were the good ole days.
The music aside, I have to say that Mr. Smith was stylin' in this video. Gray suit, matching hat, light blue crew t-shirt, nice shoes. RIP Frankie, you had style.
I'm 49 yrs old and I still love this song

Franklyn Leon Smith (January 29, 1940- March 8, 2019) was an American funk musician and R&B/soul songwriter. He was best known for his 1981 hit single "Double Dutch Bus".
Frankie Smith Born January 29, 1940 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
Died March 8, 2019 (aged 79) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Smith went to college in Tennessee for elementary education with a minor in music. He became a writer for funk and soul artists such as the O'Jays and The Spinners. In 1972 he would record for Paramount, releasing a single called "Double Dutch" under the name Franklin Franklin, but it failed to become a hit.He was also influential in the careers of the rappers Tone Loc, Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg.
With his 1981 single "Double Dutch Bus", released by WMOT Records,[4] Smith popularized a nonsensical form of slang (from his song "Slang thang", 1981 WMOT, Records), in which "iz" is placed in the middle of a word (for example, the word "place" becomes "plizace"), or the last letters of a word are replaced with "-izzle" ("sure" becomes shizzle). A type of infix, it found greater popularity later on in hip hop and rap with its usage by Snoop Dogg

I remember my father would always play this song and we would jam along. I'm 26 now, and i still remember this song to this day. How the years fly by!
I was 13 or 14 when I fell into this song. I'm 56 now & still know every word. ❤
When i was 16 in 2001, Frankie visited my school and performed this song in our auditorium. He later gave us an encore, performing a song called "Put the Guns on the Table".
Just found out he passed March 8, 2019. Bummer. One of my favorite sing-alongs of all time! Thank you Mr. Smith.
Aw, man....I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah, "DDB" was (and is) one of my faves, too. I remember listening to it as a young teenager back in the early '80s.
Well, thanks for the update.
Heard this on the Bad Bob Lee show over KBBK Magic 92 in the Golden Daze of Radio in Boise Idaho!
Of course, I was like 14 or 15 so they were a daze...

In 1980 my then step-brother, about 10 years old, walked up to me and said "I got bad feet, my corns hurt, to top it off I'm late for work." I thought "what is this, some line from a new movie?" When I heard this song's lyrics I finally understood where he got that line!

This song will always hold a special place in my heart because Missy Elliott sampled it on her song Gossip Folks. I had never heard this song before that.
Me too, just listened to gossip folk and had to find the sample. Such a cute song. He invented snoops way of speak, I hizzad nizzo idezza
I absolutely went nuts when this song came out. I still jam to it when I need that cardio pick me up!
I haven't heard this song or seen the video in such a long time. Brings back so many memories!
I first heard this song in the army when stationed in Germany 1981..my roommate had a kick ass stereo system. He used to play it over and over..loved it..
My Uncle was stationed in Germany then. Warren Orr
Is netherlands
Stationed in Germany back then as well- This song was about the clubs / 3rd AD "The Rock"
🇩🇪 I can relate
This is "feel good" music. Don't you just feel good listening to it?
Yes!!
kinda yea :D
Makes you move from side to side
No, im scared

Heard this song 43 years ago. First time seeing the video.
i'm only 26, but thanks to my mom, i knew this song plus many more others from the greatest era of music like i lived it myself. i heard this song and sang it so much with my mom when i was a little boy and while growing up. thanks mom for introducing me to such great music!
👍👍👍 Awesome Work Mommy! My Daddy did The same with Me. Take care, and keep Rocking!
Omg! I’m 50 and I remembered every word of it!!! Haha!!! I instantly remembered how much I’d enjoyed skating to this as a kid!🎶🎶🥰❤️❤️❤️
Yeah me too.
Lol me too exactly! 50 and I remember every word and beat! I remember that summer being hot as hell outside!
OMG I'm 50 years old and I'm dancing to the music
Me too forgot how much I loved this song

I remember seeing him at Philly in the early 80s and it just so happens he was at Penn hospital for treatment and my daughter was the receptionist and she told him I was at his concert in the 80s and gave her a personal autograph I have it framed what a small world thank you so much......
L
Right on
Very cool. Do you know what was he in there for????
I love that!
👍🏾
I can honestly say that one of the best things in my life was being a kid living in Philadelphia going to public school when this song came out.
Love this song. Everyone looks like they’re having fun. In 2024, it came back to me when a coworker said: “I missed my bus.” I quoted the lyrics which are joyous and funny. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy because they were too young. I sent them the link.
My aunt taught school for 56 yrs, mostly kindergarten thru 2nd grade and she actually learned to double dutch with her students during recess. Kept her so young at heart, she was my second mother. She was so popular with students and their parents that I couldn't ever get in her classes. R.I.P. Martha, whenever I hear this song or see people doing Double Dutch or jump rope I think of you. Love you to the moon and back.
I grew up w/ this music. The coolest days I’ll ever remember
We should have more of this kind of group dancing on our streets.
Understand that I was super punk rock in 81. But this song was so great! I loved playing it for my punk friends and watching their confused faces!
What the heck? Oh… this is kinda cool!
Great memories
Where has the time gone? I was just a teenager yesterday thank god I grew up in the 70's I was a teenager in the 80s
I asked this question often. Especially when I drive down the streets and don't see kids jumping rope, at the swim pool, riding bikes, at the store buying now and laters .. man I miss being a kid
I come here and watch this every so often just to feel happy again. This is magic ❤
Will definitely make you smile. Old school will never die. Gotta have me some Atomic Dog too.
Give me a “hooo” if you got you funky bus fair 🤸🏿♂️ 💃🏿 🏃🏿♀️
Im only 31 and love this song. Unlocks many core memories
