One of the best dance tunes from the early 1980s....

 

"Let It Whip" - Dazz Band (1982)

Redone by Boyz II Men (2004)

 

 

Wanna see you with it

Sho' could treat you right

Give me just a minute

Of your time tonight

 

We both are here to have the fun

So let it whip

 

We'll get into groovin'

Love your body language

Baby, let me know

You've got me sort of anxious

 

We both are here to have the fun

So let it whip

 

So let it whip

(let's whip it baby)

Child

(let's whip it right)

Get a grip

(let's whip it baby, work it all night)

Well, what's your trip

(oh no)

Child

C'mon let it whip

Oww-hoo

 

Now that you can see

How you groove with me

What else can I do

To get closer to you

 

We both are here to have the fun

So let it whip

 

We have the natural feeling

Obviously revealing

Let me be your paper man

I'd love to be your joker man

 

We both are here to have the fun

So let it whip

 

So let it whip

(let's whip it baby)

I only wanna be with you

You're the one for me

Can't you see that I

You're the one for me

Can't you see that I

(I won't waste your time)

I won't waste your time

(I sense something divine in you)

Something divine in you

(yes I do)

Oooh-hoo-hoo

 

So let it whip

(let's whip it baby)

Child

(let's whip it right)

Get a grip

(let's whip it baby, whip it all night)

Well, what's your trip

(oh no)

Child

C'mon let it whip

(C'mon whip)

(C'mon whip)

 

So let it whip

(let's whip it baby)

Child

{fade}

 

Note: This tune could also serve as the theme song for one of the topics in the Behind Closed Doors thread. :upside: :P
