I almost cried… I’m a grown ass man with a child of my own. This took me back to the 80’s when all of the elders were still alive and every weekend the entire family got together, drank, played cards, dance, gossip, etc. life was so much fun. This reminds me of my great grandmother. We called her ‘Mamma’. She was 86 when she died in ‘94. She’d get drunk and yell to my cousin, “Baby, put ya grandmother dancin’ songs on!” 😂 😂 😂 she’d jump up, wobble from one side of the room to the other until she got her balance, and she’d stand in the same spot gyrating her hips clapping her hands and stomping her feet lmao 🤣 damn man I’m choking up listening to this!
I wish I grew up in the late 70s, 80s and 90s, because I would've had an excellent time and had all kinds of fun due to the music, movies, fashion, and etc. In contrast to this peculiar era. 70s, 80s, and 90s is the greatest.
No you don't, because you wouldn't have all the things like UA-cam that brings you music you otherwise would never have heard. You have abilities and knowledge at your fingertips you never would have decades ago.
We used to jam to this (the original 1983 version) in Liberia. We threw a party in the hut in our backyard in Vahun, way upcountry. There were palm fronds put up to enclose our hut like a disco. We had a battery-powered cassette player. Kids were dancing and having fun before we got shut down...for real. Too loud, too late. Of course, it was the teenagers who were really moving and shaking. I wish I could find this download somewhere.
This cut right here was played in clubs for at least 20 years. It brings back some great memories. That’s all before this young violent generation was born. Music then gave us more good thoughts than bad thoughts!
On my 1st day at a school of hairdressing in Lagos January1984, (19 years old then)I heard this music being played next door at high volume. I did not know who the artist was then. Finally bought it in audio cassette form.
Folasade I can relate as well when I first heard it I was carried away. It was one of the biggest track in every party. It’s still hot even for oldies night!
Love the 80s version because it was an era where they came out with long electric dance mixes of mainstream songs. Synthesizers were the new fad! Love the sound effects touch!
Born in the 80s and remembering this song being played off vinyl at family cookouts. And you dare not join the line if you didnt know the steps lol. Gosh couldn’t get those days back even if you tried.
This is the year when one of my daughters was born. I would say that she is the best of 4 girls. She is smart, strong and good at everything that she does. And most importantly she gave me one of my 2 granddaughters who is much smarter than her mom and I LOVE her so much! She the best granddaughter in the world.
Damn hearing this version finally came back to me. When I was five I definitely remembered the original version before the remake. I remember being at my babysitters place in West Philly hearing this. Then I hear the remake which was good but nothing beats the original.
Iam a 80s baby n all my family get together dis wz m heavy spin on Dj record n we dance n dance n da other night I wz just chilling n dis song came 2 my mind out of nowhere so it's been 2 nights jamming it so it's boogie boogie 4 me
It was Bonny Wailer that originally created and coined it Electric Biggie and then passed it on to Our Queen 👑 sister Marcia Griffiths. Enjoy brothers and sisters. Peace and love
It is Absolutely Amazing how the computer of the brain works. It can take you all the way back in time of beautiful music . I have forgotten about this Amazing song that I love so much! That I can not tell the last time I heard it . The Computer of the brain is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
As big an 80's music fan AND funk music fan as I claim to be, I have to humble myself and admit that I absolutely have never heard this version until tonight!! I saw it when listening to what I thought was the "original" video...this is AMAZING!!! WHAT THE HELL WAS I DOING BACK THEN??? Man, I truly love this and am madly searching for it to download...thanks so much Fabrice for this!!!
Heard this today on Sirius XM, just can't beat an Old School toe-tapper. I dedicate this to the Class of 1976, Pirates Rule. Can't wait to get back for the 40th next year! Enjoy ;-).
Love this song even thou i learned the dance when the song got old but this song we use to jam all night long at the hut in laurinburg north carolina everyone from washington park the hut was out own little club where this song got the party jumping remeber them good old times pkay this song now everyone still party to it this is a song that will nevet play.

Man, I remember the remix dance version, it was at every dance in the early to mid '90s. Had no idea this was where it started, and with Bunny Wailer on background vocals!

Mamma sounds like she was a gas! A but like my great-grandmother (Granny) but she didn't drink. Such simpler times back then. ❤
Time flies, isn't it?!!
thats an amazing memory - thanks for sharing
I love such beautiful memories
Brought me to the good old days, couldn't help but tear up 😢
Still sounds great in 2023. Classic song.
Whos on it 2024 !!!!!!!! Classic

Yep,...I'm so happy that I grew up in those Eras!
Childhood in the 70s, Teen/young adult in the 80s and an adult in the 90s. PERFECT!
No you don't, because you wouldn't have all the things like UA-cam that brings you music you otherwise would never have heard. You have abilities and knowledge at your fingertips you never would have decades ago.
You are very right, Rae Man! I know, because i did grow up then!
Yes. I grew up on 80s & 90s.....the time of my life!
I was born in the early 70s, grew up in the 80s, & enjoyed a young adulthood in the 90s.

Yes Joseph Never Gets Old!!
Sounds like it was a hell of a good time.
Wonderful story!
Awesome!
Love your story, man. Good stuff. Love and music always wins!

She is one of our elders and must be respected and admired and appreciated. Our beautiful African queens
This is my favorite version! My dad used to play this on his massive stereo system in the basement. 😃
If I had found myself passing in front of your basement, I would have stopped and gone wild.
On my 1st day at a school of hairdressing in Lagos January1984, (19 years old then)I heard this music being played next door at high volume. I did not know who the artist was then. Finally bought it in audio cassette form.
I am from lagos ikeja but leave in the United states now. My dad use to place this song when I was a kid. Beautiful memories 🖤❤️
Folasade I can relate as well when I first heard it I was carried away. It was one of the biggest track in every party. It’s still hot even for oldies night!
amazing memory!
I just played this for my 16 year old son & he said play that again😁 this a classic, still sound good
Since my childhood, I feel happy when I listen to this song.
Spent many years dying to hear the original with Bunny Wailer again. Thank God for the internet & UA-cam.
Love the 80s version because it was an era where they came out with long electric dance mixes of mainstream songs. Synthesizers were the new fad! Love the sound effects touch!
I love this song. I was teenager when this song came out.
I love this version, can't forget my early days
Please, never forget your early days! They are probably the most precious memories...
YOU ARE MY DAD,, YOU'RE MY DAD
BOOGIE WOOGIE WOOGIE

Fantastic music of our time. No music again. I really enjoyed my youthful days in the 80s. At 55 now, the music sound new.
Marcia Griffiths deserves more hits

My condolences pls
This is the best .. I can't stop playing or dancing to this version..
I Already Know Vivian!!

This song was inspired by the writers girlfriend telling him that she doesn’t need him because she has a vibrator... Hence “It’s Electric”.
Get the party started aye aye
Set it off
Damn hearing this version finally came back to me. When I was five I definitely remembered the original version before the remake. I remember being at my babysitters place in West Philly hearing this. Then I hear the remake which was good but nothing beats the original.

Absolutely fantastic, well done Marcia Griffiths. Though I enjoyed it in the 1980's when I was young and I'm still enjoying it in my 50's now.
All thy sing and dance but no manure, love, and professionalism
i have been looking for this song for so long i was convinced that i conceived it from a fever dream
It was Bonny Wailer that originally created and coined it Electric Biggie and then passed it on to Our Queen 👑 sister Marcia Griffiths. Enjoy brothers and sisters. Peace and love

Fantastic and magnificent song indeed Sista Mama
I love this song. It's refreshing and every body love to dance to it
Majestic and powerful song indeed Sista Mama

Gone are the days,springing forever.
When I was around 7-10 my people use to play this all the time at the parties.
I was a senior in high school 🏫, class of '84. The high school dances, the skating rink on Sunday nights. Oh the memories...
What an awesome classic song 🎵 👌
I've always loved this song
I never knew there was a previous version of this song until now.
You've found the best version then!
Days gone bye. Jacksonville, Fl. skating ring summer of 1983.
Heard this today on Sirius XM, just can't beat an Old School toe-tapper. I dedicate this to the Class of 1976, Pirates Rule. Can't wait to get back for the 40th next year! Enjoy ;-).

even tho I wasn't born when this song came out but I remember in elementary when we had a school dance I used to dance to this song I still do now
Janiece Holmes love this song
Graduation year for sure
Man, I remember the remix dance version, it was at every dance in the early to mid '90s. Had no idea this was where it started, and with Bunny Wailer on background vocals!
