I loved the original song but living in DC when the go go version hit the radio it was crazy how good it was and Ashley Simpson record label threatened to sue rare essence and i knew from that day on how powerful go go was#DMV
I was in 20's but I too loved the original one but once I heard this one i never went back to the original lol. They took this song to another level, I came here simply for nostalgia down memory lane.
I’m just a country boy from va and I love go go and always will. I went to school in Tennessee and they were like what’s go go? I had a little spot on the ETSU radio many moons ago and played a lot of it mostly junkyard, rare essence, chuck brown , dj kool, and northeast groovers. They loved it and didn’t even no about it. I’m 44 now and still love it and want more covers to go go beats . They jus sound better I think. Jus sayin 👍
I remember hearing this song on the radio in college (longwood university in farmville va around 2005ish) and I would never catch the band's name - pretty sure I have a mix tape or two somewhere with this song recorded off the radio. I always loved it, and I knew it was a cover but for whatever reason I never dug deeper. I also didn't know anything about the DC go-go music scene (and i grew up in rva) until I had moved and been living in Maryland for a few years. for whatever reason this song popped in my head today and I finally took the time to look it up ❤ a fantastic fun live cover that brings back memories of driving around farmville sharing a bowl 😂
I'll never forget in my senior year of high school at Big Bad Ballou back in 2004 our band hit this at a basketball game and this girl said oh they killed it! 🔥
First time I heard Go-Go was back in 82. Just came from Germany and was stationed at Ft Belvoir, VA. Trouble Funk came to our Enlisted Club and turned it out. I heard Rare Essence were in Germany but I missed seeing them. After that Chuck Brown, E.U., Junkyard Band, Backyard Band, White Boy, etc. Go-Go is here to stay. Alexandria, VA in the house!!! Saw a Go-Go meets Rap concert at the infamous Capital Center in Maryland back in the mid 80's.
I remember the first time my husband played this for me...if I didn't love go go before, I was head over heels now...this cover is f%*king brilliant #dcgogo #dmvlove
Every time I hear this I think about the time it was all over the radio and I was living in Indian Head, MD traveling down Indian Head Highway... good times, great memories.
David Young rare essence has done international shows. It's a genre of music that has been recognized nation wide also, but go go music will forever be for Washington DC (D.M.V).
Leave it up to r.e. to crank the song harder and better than the original version.. Rip the godfather of go go.. Thanks for influencing young artists in the #D.M.V. #P.G.County
From DC but live in Idaho and be crankin my gogo in the parking lots going 2 mph just so I can laugh at the fools look at me like "what is that "??? 🤣 I love it ... gogo soul 100
I am from el Salvador but I love DC and this music!!!!
No cap, there’s probably more salvadoreños in the DMV than El Salvador.
@@gabrirodri 😂🤣😂 you right!!
As a Mexican from Manassas VA. I approve of this message

I’m from Richmond but spent my summers in DC with my aunt and uncle. So go-go always has a special place for me. ❤️
I loved the original song but living in DC when the go go version hit the radio it was crazy how good it was and Ashley Simpson record label threatened to sue rare essence and i knew from that day on how powerful go go was#DMV
Wow! I never knew that. #Dcproud
I don’t even remember the original!

Idk why it's not like Ashlee Simpson wrote this song.....

i was born in se love go go music it should be more popular than it is, people listed to it world wide, let's give it a bigger push
David Young if we make it bigger, white people will fuck it up and then try to say they created it like they do everything else.
Lauren Neal why the racists bullshit?
Lauren Neal seriously?? This is the negative shit we need to overcome
David Young rare essence has done international shows. It's a genre of music that has been recognized nation wide also, but go go music will forever be for Washington DC (D.M.V).
@@freedomjoyneal4759 Why you gotta bring race into it?
This song always gets me in a good mood. They always know how to create an amazing song
