PUSH THE BUTTON! 🎵 Salt-N-Pepa - Push It - Reaction 

Sometimes I think Lex DOES understand what a song is about but she's scared to say in case it shocks Brad . Surely in 2021 two people can't be THAT innocent

The look on Lex's face when listening to these songs, lol. And the side eye over to Brad who always looks genuinely confused, like he's trying to understand sign language or something.

The meaning of Push It is right in the lyrics: "Can't you hear the music pumping hard? Like I wish you would. Now push it. Push it good." Shout out to their DJ, DJ Spinderella, too!

You know exactly what she's telling that man to push good lol

My wife’s son (not step cause he’s grown) played this song while my daughter in law was giving birth. Needless to say, she didn’t find it funny, but the hospital staff loved it.

"Hear the music pumpin' hard like I wish you would"=This song is 100% about sex.

Dear God...are us old folks all perverts?? I don't know anyone that didnt get the meaning of this song back in the day. These two over here talking about a dance or pushing a button! 😂😂😂

Lex is right, it’s about pushing a “button”. 😂😂😂😂

This is 80s club music. Remember hitting the nightclubs and this was always being played. Good times.

A button! I love it! That’s it!! 🥰. Hard to believe you guys have never heard some of these, making me feel old, thanks guys!

You have got to see them on stage - their energy is crazy.

Thanks for your reaction! Salt-N-Pepa was considered to be the first successful female rap duo back in the 80's. Woman's fitness centers were becoming big thing at that time too so this was a popular workout song as well as a dance song in the clubs.

This was the jam at the school dances when I was a kid. The teachers had to practically pry us apart physically on the gym floor when the DJ popped out this song

You have got to remember these are some of the first female emcees along with m.c lyte . They had to be aggressive with the lyrics because they had to be able to stand toe to toe with the men and be respected

Y’all can’t be that innocent! 😅🤣 And I say this with love- I love how they’re a lot of times saying “I don’t know”...and then the channel music is “but I don’t know.” 😅 Enjoy y’all so much- 💜👍✌️

Lex you better ask your mom what it means! I bet she is watching this reaction and laughing!

"Ooh, baby, baby!" -- This song was a huge club banger back in the mid 1980's. I remember hearing it cranking from the bars along Avenida Revolución in Tijuana back then when I wasn't yet 21 and me and my buddies would cross the border to party.

Push It was a huge song in aerobics classes in the 80's. Solid GLUTEUS MAXIMUS muscles at the end of your workout.

Brad... Push it really good only has one meaning......No buttons involved Lex.. it involves bedroom wrestling 🤣

You need to check out, EN VOGUE "FREE YOU MIND." This song was a hit!

In this episode of Brad & Lex, Brad offers us his signature side to side sway peppered with hints of delight as Lex gives us her frontal couch hop bop.

The best song! I spent many a night dancing to this song at the clubs. 😂 Salt-N-Peppa are the bomb!!! More songs of theirs to listen to. Do you really want me baby. Shoop

*Salt & Pepper & Spinderella* were the first female Rap group to go Platinum

It was this and "it takes two" by Rob Bass were one of the first rap songs I've heard. I think "The Message" was the actual first rap song and then those two

You could not go to a club in the 80's without hearing this song. total club song.

I always figured it was a manual lawnmower.

Now this is the *Music🎶Video* I know *Brad* is going to regret not watching...lol😆

I remember this going on the bus to a school camp and the sloot group were lifting their tops and grinding to it. Damn that was early 90's, so long ago

Wow, the innocence on their response on "What does push it mean?!?" hahahah.. too good.

This was my jam back in the day!! Y'all should check out Pump Up The Volume by Marrs... Also, you are both so cute with your innocence about what Push It means... ;)

I feel like this is one of those songs that Lex really needs to see the music video to fully appreciate it. The music video is almost as epic as the song.

A very influential song. It was like a benchmark for the 90's (This came out in 86?). Even notably Eurodance where rap was becoming common.

Classic old school jam!! Let is always dancing and making Brad grin ear to ear!! Love it!

Hold the phone. Between clubs, commercials, radio, movies, TV... EVERYONE has heard this song AND knows what it's about.

You two always make me smile. You should react to their song "Shoop".

A couple years ago Salt n Pepa were in a commercial singing this while following people who were pushing things, lawnmower, baby stroller, etc.

“Push It!” is the most well-known single from American female hip-hop duo “Salt-n-Pepa”, made up of Cheryl James (“Salt”) and Sandra Denton (“Pepa”). It is the first track off of their debut album released in 1986: “Hot, Cool & Vicious”. It is one of the first albums to go gold or platinum that was released by an all-female hip-hop/rap group. The track has created a lot of controversy in the past, with it being deemed as a highly sexual song. In an interview with British publication the Guardian, Sandra Denton spoke out about the misunderstanding behind the meaning of the track: “For 30 years, we have been telling people that “Push It” isn’t about sex, but no one ever believes us. Honestly, for us, as young girls, it was about dancing. At one show they tried to censor us and the police were called to stand at the side of the stage, waiting for us to say something inappropriate. When we were singing ‘Push It’, they thought we were singing: “Pussy real good.” I ended up hollering at this policeman: “It’s ‘Push It’! It’s about pushing it on the dance floor.” We protested so much that eventually they let us go, and we didn’t get arrested.” The song was actually written by their friend Hurby “Love Bug “ Azor, who was also a record production student at the time. “Push It!” was not originally going to be included on the “Hot, Coll and Vicious” album, but ended up being added in at the end. The track was nominated for a Grammy Award but lost. The duo also performed the track at Nelson Mandela’s 70th birthday. The music video is fairly simple, featuring Salt’n’Pepa performing the song live with DJ Spinderella and Hurby “Luv Bug” Azor on the keyboards. There is no certain release date for the music video nor who directed it, but it was uploaded to RU-vid on the Salt-N-Pepa channel on the 6th October 2009, with over 92.5 million views as of May 2019. Release Date: 8th March 1987

⚜️ I'm taking my 21-year-old daughter to see them in concert in New Orleans soon. ⚜️

Anybody else old enough to remember this song blasting at your local roller rink …. As soon as the beat kicks in everyone kicked up their speed

For anyone who remembers Momma Lex's visit a few weeks ago, when they started discussing what the song means I think she would look over her glasses at them and toss out her famous line, "How do you think you kids got here?"

Lex has the cutest reaction to this song I can tell she would put this masterpiece in her playlist

You have to love the innocence! Lol!

Boy does this take me back. Use to go clubbing back in the day and always heard this.

Lexi you are ADORABLE! Your little side eye . I think you know exactly WHAT they are talking about.you MUST check out more salt & Pepa! It’s a MUST !!

I was a goth guy in 1987. When I heard this song I actually liked it. I even bought the 12 inch single.

Salt n Peppa was soooo much fun. I still have this CD and pull it out occasionally.

Yea.... pushing the start button. That's the ticket!! 😂

I am 55 and freak around the house to this song to this day! How the hell can you not dance? Lexi keeping it clean, like, belly button? LMAO!

I used to roller skate to this back in the 80s. The memories.

This song always got me on the dance floor back in the day !

All of a sudden I was transported back in time to the club in the 90s with my wife and our best friend on the dance floor

*#Lex* sheltered self is so innocent, I'd would love to see what she thinks *Salt & Pepper's (Shoop)* means

Sooooooo many memories of the skating rink. Used to be the speed skate song... Love me some S&P

Back in the day, this song brought everybody out to the dance floor. It was a must on the DJ's list.

This hasn't aged at all. It still sounds so good.

Formed in 1986, they still performing till these days. They were the first female rap and hip hop band, i recently saw the movie "Salt-N-Pepa" about their band, which i found a great movie, my respect for the ladies became bigger than before. :)

Brings back memories of being a kid and listening to this song

Looooove S&P and Spin. Much respect to those ladies.

One of my favorite club songs in the late 80's.

"what does push it mean?" Oh bless your hearts

This song was created as an assignment for a college class by Herbie Luv Bug Azor and SnP. They got an A plus a Top 5 hit. Not bad for non-musicians.

This was huge back in the day:) thanks for starting my day on a good beat.

it's 80's music , from when I was in my prime haha Salt N pepper were huge and had a lot of hits.

Little Child running wild, Curtis Mayfield Full of Fire, AL Green Sam Cooke, a change is gonna come Envogue, hold on James Brown, this is a man's world

Saw these ladies in concert at Marymoor Park in Redmond Wa and they let the fans get on stage with them including my crazy friend who got up and sang this with them.

Brad and Lex......Y'all are a box of rocks.

I’ve loved this since my early childhood in the late 80’s when it came out

Love you guys and your content!¡! Keep up the greatness fam 👏🏻🤌🏻🤍

This was popular in the era of step aerobics. It was great to take a step class to this lol.

I think I was in 7th grade when this was out and it was a jam at the dances. Brings back fun memories.

Starting in eighth grade , I don't know that I've even gone to a school (or community centre) dance, nor a Club, nor a party without invariably hearing this song. And I'm good with that. 👍❤

The best dance song, even now the whole club is wild for this song.

You two are KILLING IT. Lex always knows what's up. I'm spending the day on this channel.

In 1990 the dance floors were packed when this came on.

This was the first album I ever bought. Used to listen to it daily

I think I was in Junior high when this came out, I remember making up a dance routine to it, Haha. Omg, your ideas on what the song means are the best.

80's allll the way. Put this full blast while cruisin' on Fri/Sat nights, lol

02:07 "But whaddya think they're talkin' about pushin'?" Oh, my sweet Lord . . .

Back in the days when the dj play this song at a party you knew its time to break out your best Cabbage Patch move.

This song is about when your car breaks down and a couple people pull over to help you clear the lane and you yell out the window "PUSH IT!"

They got the words in front Of them. “Boy you really got me going”….lol

“Whatta Man” is the best Salt n Pepa song

I was in high school in 1987 to 1991. This was so popular. So much good music thàt takes me right back there. Yall should check out the HUMPTY DANCE. or some reason i remembered that while listening to this. So glad to see how yalls channel has blown up☯️☮💙

Commercial; Guy with a lawnmower. “I am pushing it. I’m pushing it real good.” 😂😂😂

Grandmas Boy has the absolute best movie scene with this song!

The *cushion* is what's gett'n push'n!

Lol...our dance songs back in the day!

This was a long time coming. A timeless banger.

See, this is a special late 80s / early 90s genre that can be described as Aerobics Music, this is as much hip hop as C&C Music Factory

If you never heard this before, I'm pulling your card. 🧐😂 ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥 Good reaction.🤘🏻🤘🏻

The song quotes a line from "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks, with the word "girl" replaced with "boy". It also quotes "Pick up on this" from "I'm a Greedy Man" and "There it is" from "There It Is", both by James Brown. The whispered "Push it" is sampled from a 1977 recording called "Keep on Pushin'" by the band Coal Kitchen.

You two should watch their music video. Might clarify the pushing it🤣

Brad and Lex are so G-rated, its adorable.💖

Herbie is incredibly overlooked and underrated. There aren't many songs that the beat/instrumental is one iconic hook after like Push It.

Did a music video with these two… I had wiped it out of my mind until now.. time to fast forward before the memories hit.

Early 90s skating rink jams! Also tootsie roll and da-dip!

I got to see them in concert a few years ago on The Mix Tape Tour with Debbie Gibson and Tiffany

Just after this is when hip hop died. The girls, Tone Loc, Biz Markee, Rob Base, Hammer, etc...... Late 80's early 90's was actually fun hip hop and then gangster rap took over and "pushed it" aside.

If its dance moves, is def the horizontal lambada :) Back in the 80's we knew exactly what they meant

This song was played at every party the year it came out
