Shake Your Rump

My least favorite song on the album... although it does have the great line, "Got a peg leg at the end of my stumpa... shake your rumpa." It's also got a slammin sub excursion under the chorus.

Notable samples in this song:

• James Brown Unity 7" single Tommy Boy 1984
• Rose Royce 6 O'Clock DJ Car Wash RCA 1976
• Rose Royce Born to Love You Car Wash RCA 1976
• Rose Royce Yo Yo Car Wash RCA 1976
• Harvey Scales Dancing Room Only Hotfoot: A Funque Dizco Opera Casablanca 1979
• Ronnie Laws Tell Me Something Good Pressure Sensitive Blue Note 1975
• Alphonse Mouzon Funky Snakefoot Funky Snakefoot Blue Note 1974
• & the Jazzy Five Jazzy Sensation 12" single Tommy Boy 1981
• Funky 4 + 1 That's the Joint 12" single Sugar Hill 1980
• Sugarhill Gang 8th Wonder 8th Wonder Sugar Hill 1981
