This week’s song pick is…
Double Dutch Bus
By Frankie Smith
When this song comes on, I have to move. I love it.
When I was younger and had a nightlife, I would go out with my friends on the weekends. This song would come on and we would get together in a group and do the “Double Dutch Bus.” I’m not spectacular at dancing, but this one is fairly easy, and in my opinion, looks so impressive with a bunch of people.
Here’s a lovely group of people doing the “Double Dutch Bus” Dance below…
The lady in grey on the left really has it down!
Good times…
This song comes from the album “Children of Tomorrow”
1981
Lyrics:
Gimme a “ho” if you got your funky bus fare
Ho! ho! ho!
There’s a double dutch bus coming down the street
Moving pretty fast
So kinda shuffle your feet
Get on the bus and pay your fare
And tell the driver that you’re
Going to a Double Dutch Affair
Fe fi fo fum
Well I’ll be darn here it comes
The Double Dutch Bus is on the street
You’d better get off the curb
Move your feet
Bus fare trans-pass
That’s the way my money lasts
Ain’t got no car to get around
When I go to work I’ve gotta go downtown
Now I’ve missed my train
That’s a darn shame
When I’m running late no sleep’s to blame
If you’ve gotta wife you know I’m right
Gotta special man well I can understand
Uptown, downtown everybody’s getting down
Say uptown, say downtown
Well I missed my bus I know I’m late
I gotta do something I know I hate
I’m gonna walk to work fifteen blocks
I already got a hole in my socks
Go ahead and laugh that’s okay
‘Cause what I really wanna say
I got bad feet my corns hurt
To top it off I’m late for work
Let me tell you what I say
When I’m dealin’ wit a funky sidewalk
Let me show you how I walk
When I gotta do my funky walk
Let me tell you what I say
When I’m dealing wit a funky sidewalk
I say shhhhhhhhhhh-sugarrrrr

Mischenko jamming over here! Missy Elliot sampled it in later years. Great choice!

Thanks, Nel! Yup, Gossip Folks. I love Missy too! She sort of followed the old dance on that one too while adding her own twists which I thought was cool. The Supa Dupa Fly album is my favorite. Brings back memories. 😉 Hope you have a great day! 💜

You really don’t hear this song anymore. When I was a kid, I heard it a lot and then when I was older out dancing I would always hear it. It’s an old one! Hope you enjoyed it, Claire. ❤

I’m not sure it made its way across the pond, I played it to Hubs and my Mum and neither of them knew it either.

Could be! 🙂 That was back in the day before internet too which makes a huge difference. It’s amazing how many more artists we can learn about now that we have the internet with streaming and such… ♡
