Wow! Brings back memories! I remember my uncle cranking this 8-track in his cream colored Monte Carlo. Me and my cousins loved hanging with him. He gave us our first taste of beer. I think it was called Schlitz. For some reason, my mother said he was a bad influence on us. Yeah, this was one of his jams!

Sounds more like the 80s

[@theafroalien3169]

Fosho…1981

[@damionwiggan9797]

This came out in ‘76….?🤔

[@someguy9974]

Naw lol
Music didn't sound like that in the mid '70s. This sounds more like early '80s. AI got it wrong. 😂
And there wasn't any song with the word "shit" on the title. There were songs with "shit" on the lyrics but not on the title.
And there weren't any Parental Advisory warning labels on the album sleeves in the '70s. Parental Advisory warning labels were introduced in the mid-late '80s. So AI got that wrong as well lol

[@MachineMobMelodies]

I's just for fun, not to be taken historically accurate man lol

[@SS-pv2hq]

Put yo self in Jail for this....

[@lokeej]

AI gone be awhole other music genre

[@carlohardley7763]
