"Wanna take the time / (to) thank the Lord." Yes! Thank God & thank Jesus. A lot of people have more to be thankful for than they might realize.

Here I am wondering if it was whoomp there it is from 1993 coming up with the term or NBA Jam, the 1993 video game... this where they got their inspiration from? :D

[johnnyb]

i don't believe Sly & the family stone came up with this saying because in their song the year before "i want to take you higher" it says boom lakalaka, not shakalaka

[kenkovar]

Depressed, just hear 10 sec and you happy
