"Give It to Me Baby" Rick James
Can you tell I'm excited for the weekend? This is one of the first, let's say, 50 songs that I knew and loved as a child. My parents had the Rick James cassette tape. Maybe my Dad was trying to tell my Mom something? Gross. Anyways, this song has horns, bass, Rick James froggy crooning, and a sweet drum crescendo in tune with "... give it to me, baby." Oh - did I mention the awesome lyrics about persuading your girlfriend to bang you when you're wasted? That too.
When to play it: Dancing in your kitchen while having a cocktail before hitting the town on a Friday night; a disco- or 80s-themed dance off.
How you'll move: Side to side dance moves with snapping.
How you'll feel: Unstoppably funky.
Side note: Ok, so remember the 90s teen movie, "She's All That"? Well, whenever I hear this song, I think of the scene where the douchey boyfriend dances at the party and points to his self portrait tattoo when the song says "...give it to me, give it to me..." Check it out.
