Lyrics:
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it!
I wanna rock right now
I'm Rob Base and I came to get down
I'm not internationally known
But I'm known to rock the microphone
Because I get stoopid, I mean outrageous
Stay away from me if you're contagious
'Cause I'm the winner, no, I'm not the loser
To be an M.C. is what I choose 'a
Ladies love me, girls adore me
I mean even the ones who never saw me
Like the way that I rhyme at a show
The reason why, man, I don't know
So let's go, 'cause
It takes two to make a thing go right
It takes two to make it outta sight
Hit it!
If you wanna see a bunch of 50+ year olds run to the dance floor, put this on.
Yep, and I'm one of 'em.
Shut up 😂
You ain't lyin', I'm one of 'em too.

"I wanna rock right now" is one of the best openings to a line to a track.
Lol I know right ❤.
I'm 53 and man we had fun in the clubs...this is real hip hop ❤
I'm 53 I still listen to King-Kut,epmd!! love ya!!
I'm 52 and still dancing to this as well!!!
Back in the day when Hip Hop wasn't about killing another brother.
It happened then too
YEP
Truth Indeed
Exactly
@@jtaylor829 Nothing was happening then anywhere near the scale of the last 15 years. Nothing.
I’m 57 and still enjoying the music of my youth. The 80’s were the best!!
💯% Correct!
same here my friemd...enjoy life
Hmmm...but I'm 48 and like Dua Lipa. Of course I still like the music from when I was 14 🤥
I'm about to be 55 white female family from Brooklyn but I was born and raised in Jersey City🎉and Brooklyn double dutch,music 🎶 and dancing was my life!!!!
Yes brother
For all the teenagers who grew up in the 80's I have a feeling the senior living homes for us will be hopping !!!
😅❤😁 GO GET IT SENIORS! 👍🏾👏🏾🤘🏾
For real!😂 I'm not going to the old folks home, though. I'll fly away like the old man from Up!
😂😅😊
I hope so. If they're still playing Vera Lynn I'll definitely lose the will to live.
lol
This generation will never understand real music. 80s 90s best era 😊 🔥
Absolutely, they never will. They will also never know what it meant (and still means) to us.
The days of innocence and of pure, raw FUN!!
I'm 53 and this song NEVER gets old.
Ditto
D. Im 54. And these were the friggin best days of my life. Studio 54. Limelight. Romeo n juliettes. Funhouse. Bensonhurst brooklyn NY. Yea baby. Nothing will beat the 80s

WHOO!!!

I have the cassette in my pickup
This is freaking wholesome by today's standards...
This song was everywhere in 1989. Sometimes you could hear it from a car half a mile away!
It's almost criminal that Rob Base hasn't been asked to perform this during a Super Bowl Half Time Show -
There's no way this song wouldn't have people out of their seats!
I WAS JUST THINKING THAT!!!
Omg....yes!!!!!! 😁❤️🎶🎵
Old folks agree
The closest we got was the NFL 100 year commercial during super bowl 53
Indeed!
GTA SA truly has the best rap songs

This awesome song is timeless and definitely right on the fact that the connection between two individuals is more important than what is going on outside of their relationship!! BNB*2024*
I'm still listening in 2024... who's here w me?
old songs never out of style, that's wat
A big clubber in Germany in the 80s. A German DJ asked me to use my knowledge of American club music to buy and bring him what I thought his club clientele might like. The first song I brought him was this.
He put this on and you would have thought someone threw money on to the dance floor: The place just went nuts.
The 80s: _Lived 'em. Loved 'em. Miss 'em._
Wow...lol
this is from the 90's but sure

80' were the best!! Glad I grew up then.
Yes, I totally remember this song being played in the clubs in Germany. I was there! Good Times!
No killing, no cursing, just a party. This is still my jam at 54. This song got everybody on the dance floor!
Same here Latonia, 54 and love reminiscing the 80's we were lucky to be around then to enjoy the good times.
@@artisansportsman8950 you can surely say that again!
The cursing is bleeped out!!
@@UrbanSipfly she said what she said and we all know what she meant..there was no cursing (bitches, fuck you etc)
You think anything Eminem did can come even close to this classic?, I cringe when brothers say he's in a top ten, 99% of Em's music is garbage, glad Snoop exposed the mediocrecy
This song is better than most songs out today in 2023 ❤
That's sad, music hasn't been the same since 2016.

@@daphnebrown2130 yes, were we all got along. No matter what music you listened too.
Most of my friends at school were Metallers in the eighties but still loved this too. I couldn't understand the appeal of proper rock music back then but I love that now too.
1988. You heard that first “WHOO! YEAH!” and the dance floor was instantly full.
You know dat’s right. Burned it UP back in the day. Can rap this whole song to this day. Not well, mind you, but enough to embarrass the fuck outta my kids.
Yep!!!
It actually goes “YEAH!WHOO!” Just sayin’!

There will NEVER be another year in Hip-Hop like 1988!
And I’m 15 again
Me too.
Me three.
Whos listening in 2024?
Mind your business!
Being 48, I was 16 when we were jamming to this song. No cell phones or social media. No distractions. Just good music, a keg of beer, and good friends.
ok boomer
Thats what's up
Fun times
i was 15 or 16, the first time i heard it made me freak out, the beat was so different but it was banging , the whole song was perfect
@@jmc5910 Yeah! It was go time when it started play'in!
being born in 1972 was a blessing. There will never be another 1980 to 2000. The best time.
Agree!
Born same year too and we got lucky and enjoyed Disco, pop ,the best Hip hop, techno house etc etc
Completely agree. 80's and 90's best of the best...
Yes Sir, Them days are long gone, back in my school during these days, it wasn't about the color of your skin, how you looked or dressed, it was about having a good time, I can honestly say that I don't remember no one judging people on the way they looked, especially a person's skin color.. #Facts.... Baltimore Md. In the late 80's, 90's and the 2000's on up was a mixed neighbor and everyone pretty much got along..
Church! I was born in 78, and nothing beats our era, except maybe our Parents' era of Music, and I stress the MAYBE part.
Shout out to Earl and Randy for bringing this banger into the life of this Brit in his 20's. TUNE!!!
80's baby !!!!..Good old Days !!

Richard Oki I know how massive this song was and still sounds great. I was in my teens when this was first played. And yes I’m still playing this video ✌️👍🤪

back in the day when men and women showed love and compassion towards one another instead of competition
This was our high school pump me up song during rallies. Perfect song and beat. And the speakers were big of course and if you hear this its really real rockin.
"Stay away from me if you're contagious." Rob Base the prophet.
I am pretty sure people were aware of infectious diseases in 1988.

Easily one of the greatest records ever made , this track would always make any floor in a club go crazy
Still does x
Sorry everyone, that was a “Pocket Post.”
Haha…
Even Still 🎉
This whole album was great
Yes
This one song, more than any other song, helped launch dance and hip hop music into the stratosphere.
in Feb 1992, I watched in awe as a completely empty dance floor become instantly packed with at least 200 people when this beat dropped .the only song on the planet that will absolutely get every human being rump shaking in the blink of an eye.
No lies detected!!!
Same thing back in the mid 90s at a Filipino club called Manila Chef in Bremerton, Washington. When this jam started, all of the girls got on the floor
The ONLY hip-hop song ever to have that effect on me. My wife was amazed because I've always hated hip-hop. Except HIS ONE!
When the first note starts, there was the sound of bottles hitting the tables and people rushing the floor to dance !!!!!!
You got that right.
Bring back the 80's please. Miss this shit.
Long live 80's music. What an awesome time to be a teen.
Wow everytime i hear this track take me back to 88 o was 8 my big brothers was 20,17 ,and 11 , and my big Sister was 19 they had a homie named jimmy growing up in NC in the 80s he had 2 sl1200s tr 808 and 909 drum machines made vinyl 🎤s at that time only time i see dj mixing was on tv live or in hip hop videos was and he thought me how to mix off its takes 2 .

I remember when this song came out. It was the middle of summertime and I was 19. Suddenly this song was blaring out of cars all over the East Village in NYC where i was living You could hear that bass go boom from 2 blocks away, and that was with 80s sound systems. That time is forever etched in my memory.

Rick V White people didn’t enslave your ancestors for 300 years either...with an additional 70 years of Jim Crow and other legislation purposely made to oppress a certain demographic(Redlining, etc.). And by the way, I have a Master’s degree just in case you needed to know. However, this is hip hop...made by the oppressed. Now, the #1 music genre in the world.

If you want to escape the sameness, just tune in to this sound. More and more incredible.
So ironic and sad that both Biz and DJ EZ Rock both passed away, at YOUNG 50+, from a seizure and a stroke. They combined to make 1988 through 1991 super, super fun ! God-bless, rest in peace fellas!!
So sad. 😢😢

I am 29 years old. from the year 94. I confess that I would love, I would be fascinated, to have lived and witnessed and enjoyed the decade of the 80s. In my opinion, the 80s marked a before and after in the field of technology, its music and culture were the best and I am sure that many people from the 90s and 2000s agree with my point of view, and dream with having been there. I am envious of those who really enjoyed it and were there.

Well said, young padawan...
Wuz in my 20s living in NYC when Hip Hop busted loose out of the Bronx and eventually into the whole wide world...
Songs like this and Rapper's Delight and Just Begun are seared into my memory and like the Stargate instantly transports me to the intersections of soul, jazz, disco, latin, euro and pop music that gave birth to rap, hip hop, house, freestyle, electronica and techno...
