"Take Your Time (Do It Right)" S.O.S. Band
God, they do NOT make songs like this anymore! So happy I heard this in a store last week, because I can't say S.O.S. Band would've been on my radar otherwise. Now I don't know if this song is about a woman encouraging her impotent boyfriend to "give it another shot" or a wife begging her husband to try bases 1 through 3 before hitting home, but I don't care, because it's amazing. This song is funky as shit, dance-worthy, and the lead singer's voice unleashes a fantastic growl that makes you feel like your very own disco sex tiger. And I don't know if that's a bass or a synthesizer, but any song with a tangible "bow wow wow" sound is good with me. YOU ARE WELCOME!
How you'll move: Hip bumps with your dancing neighbors.
When to play it: At your rollerskating birthday party while wearing an afro wig; any dance party with a worthwhile crowd.
Side note: Wikipedia told me that S.O.S. Band hits "are notable for popularizing the use of the Roland TR-808 drum machine (and its distinctive cowbell sound) in popular music." Touché S.O.S. Band, touché.
