COMPLETELY off the subject BUT really think you might like this newer band (recommendation by 60 yr old classic rock nut!). 😁❤ Vallejo ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7G4NAqVJnFk.html
Great old song from around 1976 or 77. These guys became rich off of this one song. I saw the singer on a talk show the other day, and he's about my age,( 65 years old). They did a couple other songs, but nothing like this one. This made them known worldwide. Everyone thought they were a Black Band. That's what the song is about. Some guys in another Funk Band (they were Black) were joking around before the concert, and one guy said to them "Hey...Play that Funky music white Boy!" Everyone in both Bands started to laugh. Then they wrote this song about that incident, and it made them freaking multi millionaires! And that's the true story of the Band "Wild Cherry."
It’s interesting that this song was their moneymaker- I mean the time period of course, but the fact that they were a rock band in the beginning lol and then with funk and disco in the rise , just made sense to write this. Although I did not realize though that this account actually happened to them which makes this song even more special.
I think I heard this for the first time when I was in basic training the summer of 1976. Pretty much all funk / R&B bands were black bands. If you listen to Sly and the Family Stone (a black dude) this white guy sounds a lot like Sly. This also came out at the very beginning of the Disco boom. It’s a classic song that plays at a lot of weddings because it’s a fun song for a crowd to get into.
This song was a few years before my roller rink days. For me it was "I Love Rock & Roll" Joan Jett and "Stroke" Billy Squier that we tore the rink up to.
Love it!!! Sang every word & had to get up and get "funky". You notice they mention disco, this was played in the disco scene & carried on after disco was dying out. The song came out just a few years before I hit college in San Francisco. We'd have dance parties in the dorms on Friday & Saturday nights. Wild Cherry was always played. Being in San Francisco, we had a melting pot of people there from all over the world just dancing our asses together, such fun & funky times. Brought back great memories. Loving your channel, guys!
My greatest memory was of listening to this on the radio when I was 15-16 - and when it came on the car radio with my Step-dad in the car, he was absolutely ENRAGED! He said "I know what they're REALLY saying" - and we tried to tell him, "No, Dad, FUNKY is actually a word" -- but he wasn't havin' it - and insisted it was just a way of "getting around" profanity... whatcha gonna do at that age, right? -- Now I can laugh about it... same as when our brand-new dance squad made a routine to KC & Sunshine Band "Get Down Tonight" - and some super-Christian parental group (supposedly) said that "get down" meant "have sex" - so that one day before we were supposed to perform our routine, we were not allowed to use that song - us 15-16 year olds were panicked.. until our very cool coach told us: "Don't worry - we'll just use the song by the same band: That's the Way I Like it" -- which we did, and which, to me - hilariously - is much more sexually suggestive.. -- so, there you go! Times have changed a great deal -- but not enough that the "moral police" can't refrain from criticizing Superbowl half-time performances by beautiful women~
YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE GLITTER!!! We were the first to start that horrendous and very dangerous idea of REAL GLITTER eyeshadow so we can ALL cut our corneas as our price for beauty BUT DAMMIT we looked great didn't we? Oh wait...MOOD lipstick too! LOL!
Yes , that is a must with most songs . Higher quality sound system and recording equipment makes a big difference in what you hear in a song . Couldn't agree with you more .

Think this is something - you should also hear: "Gimme Some Lovin'" by The Spencer Davis Group, ""Expressway to Your Heart" by The Soul Searchers, "Good Lovin'" by The Young Rascals, "One Bad Apple" by The Osmond Brothers, "Lowdown" by Boz Scaggs, "What You Won't Do For Love" by Bobby Caldwell, "Sara Smile" by Hall & Oates and ANYTHING by Teena Marie (especially "Square Biz", "Work It", "Fire and Desire" with Rick James and "Tribute to Smokey Robinson")
This is cool but on this fourth of July may I suggest the Founding fathers of Funk. James Brown "Mother Popcorn" , Curtis Mayfield "Superfly" , Sly and Family Stone "Thank You"(Falettme Be Mice Elf Again) The song that gave birth to the slap bass), Parliament Funkadelic "P.Funk Wants To Get Funked Up". Wild cherry wouldn't exist without the African American brothers whom invented this music!!!!
Its mostly Scotts playing...back in the day i spose...how the fk a crowd of Scottish guys came up with this genius song is beyond me...but so is television ...pmsl..great vid guys...x
You know, I see a lot of people say that but I realized just recently (and this is saying something cuz it took me 40 years to realize it), I can hear the English perfectly no matter what the accent because I'm from south of Miami. Everyone around us is generally from the Caribbean or South America and so we get some really thickly accented English. Interesting!
You guys should have more subscribers!! Love your reactions! -- For some funky disco try out "KC and the Sunshine Band" -- I'm Your Boogie Man -- and -- Get Down Tonight --- Very fun funky dance tunes!
First song to confess fully to cultural appropriation! Oh, and about the likes and clicks - don't worry. seen this too often. Y'all are doing fine, have a pleasant presentation, and comments are worthwhile. Just keep building reaction videos, and likely there will be a sudden point where there is a big jump in the numbers. "Somebody" will have shared, and that will open the floodgates. Now go react to the most perfect 2:32 in rock, Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Green River".
Not appropriation; influence. Musicians have been borrowing from each other forever. As well, the white musicians who started playing rock, blues, and soul from the 50s onward said clearly that they were influenced by black music. It was no secret. Everyone from Elvis to the Beatles to Clapton, the Stones, the Who, and on and on -- they all paid homage to black musicians like Little Richard and Chuck Berry, plus a few white rockabilly influences like Carl Perkins. Clapton, for one, was influential in helping to cultivate mainstream white audiences -- and income -- for black bluesmen like Muddy Waters. It was record companies that did the black musicians out of getting paid properly for their work, something they also did to a lot of white musicians, too. BTW many 50s and early 60s hits for black musicians were written by white composers. "Hound Dog" was written by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller, two Jewish guys -- first recorded by Big Mama Thornton, an African American artist. It was her only hit record, before it was recorded by a white group, then by Elvis. "Up on the Roof," a hit for the Drifters, was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. These are two of many examples. The point being that musical influences go back and forth among groups of people, and always have.
@@leaderspeakusa No listen to the album it's "Play that funky music white boy, play that funky music right." The record company was afraid of releasing the song with "white boy" in it because they thought it would be racist, but once it was explained to them they gave the green light.
I think you guys are real cute and clearly you are having fun! However, you are a little hard to understand and you stop the video way too often. Also, as mentioned by someone else, it does seem you are making fun of the music and/or musicians ... that's a little hurtful to an old gal like me ... remember you would not have your music today if it weren't for the music of yesterday. BTW I heard the lead singer in an interview and he wrote this song about the band's actual experience changing their style of music. This 1 song has supported him ( in style - beautiful home) all these years!!
Dear, I was 17 when that song came out and I have no problem with their reactions or for them to stop the song many times. Let them be and think how we were. 😁
Ok I love you guys and think merchandise is a good idea, however it is all wrong. First of all, what in the world does scousenation mean? You need to have things like BrosReact0151 fan, in small print in the pocket area. Or just BrosReact0151 in the same spot. Or You know what I mean in large print on front of the shirt. Or your name in the pocket area and you know what I mean on the back. You need to have stuff that is you not a big crown and stuff like that. I know you have spent money on the stuff you have now but you need to change it and if someone helped you with it don't listen to them again.
Hey guys, can we hear the song? It's not your record, it's theirs .... .chill out... you totally forget what you're doing !! Sorry, I'm leaving... too many stops and starts for me.... you guys are trying to sing over them......doesn't work ..
