Sugarhill Gang, The - 8th Wonder Lyrics
[Big Bank Hank]
Clap your hands everybody
And everybody just clap your hands
Ahh fly girls, clap your hands
Ahh fly guys, clap your hands
[Master G] Well if you're feeling alright and you think you're on
[Wonder Mike] Ah-somebody let me know
[Big Bank Hank] Well everybody in the place, put a whistle in your face
[all three] Scream it out and say [whistle] yooooo, hit it!
[Wonder Mike]
You don't stop
A-rock the rhythm that makes your finger pop
I said ah, hip-hop, ah thanks a lot
Ah c'mon everybody gimme whatcha got
[Master G]
I'm gonna tell you a little story about the Sugarhill Gang
[all three] With the pow pow boogie and a big bang bang
And if you wanna rap to the Sugarhill to the beat
[all three]
Gotta rap in the key of R-A-P
Now that is over I'm ready to jam
Want all you people, to clap your hands
Tonight we're gon-na, scream and shout
We're gonna turn this motha -- sucka out
To all of you people that are ready to jam
Scream it out and say, I am! (I AM!)
Some-body! (SOME-BODY!) Now you know you're hot
[Master G]
Ah see I met this girl and I said to her, "Honey
if you wanna be my baby you got ta gimme money!"
Turned around, didn't mean no harm
I knocked her out, with my vicious charm
I said, "No no baby it's not like that
Ya see I'm all about makin that cold cold cash"
Started jivin around, started messin wit her head
And next thing I know, she wanted to go to [whistle]
But to turn me on, you got to be the best
Cause I'm the Master G, I don't take no mess
Like T-N-T, I'm dynamite
Ya see I rock your body to the early light
And when you wake up in the morning you'll see I'm gone
And check it out girl, you're all alone
Cause you just been hit by the Capricorn King
I rocked you gentle, I rocked you/me
I rocked you in and I rocked you out
You made me scream but I made you shout [whistle]
[Wonder Mike]
Go dang diddy dang di-dang di-dang diggy diggy
Dang diddy dang di-dang di-dang diggy diggy
[Big Bank Hank]
See it's up my back, it's around my neck
Woo-HAH! Got them all in check
See it's up my back, it's around my neck
Woo-HAH! Got them all in check

Ah let's scream, and let's shout

Ah let's make this party the real Cold Crush
Let's scream, and let's shout
Ah let's turn this function out
and keep keep it on, but you don't quit
Let's make the party the sure [whistle]
[Wonder Mike]
Once upon a time not long ago
everybody had on their radio
And then the fella came on with a groovy noise
to put the wiggle in the women and girls and boys
The word got around about three cool cats

And let me tell you party people just who we be
With the help of Big Bank and the Master G
[Interlude]

ΧΕΡΙ ΠΑΝΩ ΑΡΙΣΤΕΡΟ ΚΑΙ ΔΕΞΙ
Utube is pant bow
Old school in the house. Johnston high school . Go Rams .Texas class of 81
Wth, REALLY??
🎶"I Got Them All In Check. WOOHAH!!"🎶
.....came from this song?? 🤔😂
ΑΠΑΓΟΡΕΥΟΝΤΑΙ ΟΙ ΠΙΠΕΣ... ΣΤΙΣ ΤΟΥΑΛΕΤΕΣ
They beeped out the word "bed" 👌🏿. You used to be able to play hip hop with the kids in the car...🤔
"everybody clap your hands"
And everyone obeyed and clapped their hands
who has been listening to this day?
2019 but still good to hear
Old skol never dies <3
50 and still jammin this made me scream but i made u shout
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗♥️♥️🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
R.I.P. Big Bank Hank!
Haven't heard this in 30 years but I still remember every word. I LOVE HIP HOP,!
This is probably where Treacherous 3 got the synthesizer piece of the instrumental for "At The Party" from.
7.27 and no cussing
Imagine that!
Hottttttt
This is the real rap: no sh.t, no fu.k, no sex, no gan.sters, no pus.y, no d.ck just music and funny lyrics. Still the best gang.
un di mi favoritonan ku sigur lo mi purba di "fix in the mix" 7 di december proksimo!!
BACK WHEN RAP WAS STILL MUSIC.
The first hip hop song that I learned all the words to as a youngin. After this, I just had to listen to any hip hop song after this a couple of times before I knew the whole song.
Saw them in 79 and that was the first time I saw a rap group. I was not a fan of rap at the time, but after their amazing performance, I was converted! The band that backed them up was second to none. Those dudes could play a washboard and drain pipe and make it sound good!
It’s Late 2019..who here started to “Pop-lock” or knew ALL the words...????
That baseline is something serious 😎🔥🔥
This ist the beste
Is funk music or Hip Hop?
The best of Old School Rap, "Somebody say Sugarhill"
Yessss!
There best song hands down
Say no more skate key
Clap your hands everybody
And everybody just clap your hands
Ahh fly girls, clap your hands
Ahh fly guys, clap your hands
Well if you're feeling alright and you think you're on
Ah-somebody let me know
Well everybody in the place, put a whistle in your face
Scream it out and say *whistle* yooo, hit it!
You don't stop
A-rock the rhythm that makes your finger pop
I said ah, hip-hop, ah thanks a lot
Ah c'mon everybody gimme whatcha got
I'm gonna tell you a little story about the Sugarhill Gang

On this day in 1981 {May 16th} the Sugarhill Gang performed "8th Wonder" on the nationally syndicated television program, 'Soul Train'...
Ten weeks earlier it had peaked at #15 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart...
Between 1979 and 1983 the New Jersey group had seven records on the Hot Soul Singles chart, one made the Top 10, "Rapper's Delight", it peaked at #4 {for 2 weeks} on November 25th, 1979...
Besides the above two records, their five other charted records were "Apache" {#53 in 1981}, "Showdown"* {#49 in 1981}, "The Lover in You" {#55 in 1982}, "The Word Is Out" {#71 in 1983}, and "Kick It Live from 9 to 5" b/w "The Lover in You" {#50 in 1983}...
R.I.P. Don Cornelius {1936 - 2012}...
* The record label for "Showdown" read 'The Furious Five Meet The Sugarhill Gang'...
Still the best riff / hook in any rap track, ever.
Still FYAH!!!!

Do today kids even party dance or slow dance ?
Rap started out as Party Music .
I'm 55 and keepin' it live! I remember this song echoing off the houses as we walked by carrying the over-sized, 12 battery takin' boom box! I think that's why my right arm is bigger than my left to this day!
Lol. Word
Great times we had back then
Lol.....great times i indeed.....this has to be one of rap's biggest hit ever
That's a real good excuse 😉 for your right arm being bigger than the left 😁😆. Real party music and a real throw back!!! Those days are forever with us. I'm 53 l will be 54 in 13 dayz
Loll Tha Most Greatest Thing Bout Dis Song Was Tha Idlibs Sound effects From Grandmaster Flash And Furious At Tha End..
Πάμε πηδάμε όλοι μαζί.....
2019 nice!!!
Dj milton tee😉🎵
Damn i woke up with the horns of this song in my head and I immediately made a beat out of it. Then I realised it sounded familiar.
I have no _idea_ why it popped into my head.
Haven't heard this song in 40 years. I still know the lyrics adlibs .
Priceless 🔥
Nice post my friend on that 8th wonder. My blue toorh just said battery low. Long way from my boom! box with the lights on. And I'm still jamming it!!
