Everybody Needs Wild Cherry

All of us at TDDR were born in the early 80s.  That makes us old enough to remember listening to Salt-n-Pepa's 'Push It' on FM radio as it hit platinum, watching the Fall of the Berlin Wall on the evening news, and blasting suit-clad enemies with dance moves in Michael Jackson's 'Moonwalker' on the Sega Master System.  

We did miss the time train, however, when it comes to Wild Cherry's legendary performance of 'Play That Funky Music' on the 'Midnight Special' show in 1976:




Around the time of the fall of the wall, our Parents'/Uncles'/Older Brothers'/Friends' record collections brought the track to our walkman.  It made us jive.

Download it, learn to jive to it like we do.  By Friday night.
