Lyrics:
Party people
Party people
Can y'all get funky?
Soul Sonic Force - can y'll get funky?
The Zulu Nation - can y'll get funky?
Yaaah!
Just hit me
Just taste the funk and hit me
Just get on down and hit me
Bambaataa's gettin' so funky, now, hit me
Yaaah!
Just hit me

It's time to chase your dreams
Up out ya seats, make your body sway
Socialize, get down, let your soul lead the way
Shake it now, go ladies, it's a livin' dream
Love Life Live
Come play the game, our world is free
Do what you want but scream

We know a place where the nights are hot
It is a house of funk
Females and males
Both young and old, called the disco

The D.J. plays your favorite blast
Takes you back to the past, music's magic (puff)
Bump bump bump get bump with some flash, people

Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop (x2)

The Soul Sonic Force - Mr. Biggs, Pow Wow, and M.C. Globe
We emphasize to show, we got ego
Make this your night, just slip it right, and by day
As the people say, live it up, shucks
No work or play, our world is free
Be what you be - be

Rock rock to the Planet Rock, don't stop (x2)

You're in a place where the nights are hot
Where nature's children dance and say the chants
On this Mother Earth, which is our rock
The time has come, and work for soul, show you really got soul
Are you ready hump bump bump, get bump, now let's go, house

Twist and turn, the you let your body slide
You got the body rock and pop, bounce and pounce
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop
Keep tickin' and tockin', work it all around the clock

Everybody keep rockin' and clockin' and shockin' and rockin', go house
Everybody say, rock it, don't stop it (Crowd repeats)
Well hit me, Mr. Biggs (Crowd repeats)
Pow Wow (Crowd repeats)
G-L-O-B-E (Crowd repeats)
The Soul Sonic Force

You gotta rock it, pop it, cause it's the century
There is such a place that creates such a melody
Our world is but a land of a master jam, get up and dance
It's time to chase your dreams
Up out your seats, make your body sway
Socialize, get down, let your soul lead the way
Shake it now, go ladies, it's a livin' dream
Love Life Live

Zih Zih Zih Zih Zih (ad lib)

Everybody say, rock it, don't stop it (Crowd repeats)
Everybody say, shockin' and clockin' (Crowd repeats)
Everybody say, ichi ni san shi (Crowd repeats)
Say, Planet Rock (Crowd repeats)
It's the sure shot (Crowd repeats) (x2)

So twist and turn, then you let your slide n' glide
You got the body rock and pop, bounce and pounce
So hit me
Just taste the funk and hit me
Just get on down and hit me
Bambaataa's gettin' so funky, now hit me
Every piece of the world
Rate the message of our words
All men, women, boys, and girls, hey our Planet Rock is superb
Get on it
You got the groove, move (ad lib)
Feel the groove - feel it
Do what ya want but ya know ya got to be cool and boogie
Out on the floor, go down
Bring it low
Close to the ground
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it, gotta rock it
Don't stop
Keep tickin' and tockin'
Work it all around the clock
Everybody just rock it, don't stop it
Gotta rock it, don't stop (repeats)

I don't think people understand and appreciate the creativity that was utilized at the beginning of Hip Hop.

[marcelovaladares]

I'm Brazilian and I live in the city of Rio de Janeiro. In the 80s this song was already a hit here... to this day it's a classic of classics. Hugs!

[JoeCrow]

I’m just an whitey pushing 60, in a small B.C. town…. I love this!
I saw Public Enemy and Anthrax in Vancouver over 30 years ago. They did bring the noise and it was killer. Music is like the sky…it’s for all to love

[JennasMusic]

One of the dopest tracks to ever hit wax PERIOD!

[quadlift]

Electro music is overlooked in the hip hop and techno world. It was the begining but the documentarys never mention it. Electro forever.

[TheEmerald]

The early days of Hip-Hop. Back when it was about having fun, unity, and empowerment. The break beats, breakdancing, art graffiti, the fashion, and the MCing. I love it.

[luisaguilera]

This Track Will Always Be AMAZING It's TIMELESS🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[LLLL-dzwb]

This wasn't just a song, it was a movement.

[anthonymoore]

Biggest song released that year. The energy released by the Soul Sonic Force just gets more powerful year after year. Props to the Bronx. NYC. The birthplace of Hip Hop.

[goldenmath]

Damn, 51 years old and this still makes me so emotional, so much heart, funky electro

[freddy]

The lost verse ad lib is possibly the greatest ad lib of all time. 2024 and it still feels like it’s fresh 40 years laters.

[zedman]

Just showed my kids that I can still buss footwork & breakdance 2 this. Back hurts like hell now tho.

[vicdman]

So many Latinos and blacks together dancing. I love it

[ogmunster]

RIP Dad, thank u for always showing me good music ❤❤

[AldenRDavis]

Afrika Bambaataa and the Soulsonic Force should earn a Lifetime Achievement Award for their music.

[ninoboune]

The 80s are the golden era of music, movies and fashion

[suominenmika]

Kraftwerk were on their 2nd US tour (1st was in 1975) from July to August 1981, playing both TEE and Numbers, and "inspiring" this, and Trouble Funk Express, too. And many others, luckily🚅

[tokyopearlglitter]

Me and my fiancé loved to skate to this..RIP my love ❤️💔

[kevinreed]

When I was a kid, this was by far the best song they played at the skating rink

[Animodeus]

WE ARE GOING TO OLYMPIC WITH THIS ONE 🗣️💥💥
