I memorized this whole song at 14 years old. Just listened to it for the first time in about 20 years. Still could recite it all. I'm 44 today. Brings back some great memories!
Same and same. I remember always typing the lyrics to songs out. Must have been an our generation. I loved this song, even Tone Loc on that introduction. I still remember every word too. No shame.
47 years old. I can remember my best friend and I practicing that running man repeatedly for a teen party in the video when it came out. Fond memories!
These were the days when The Simpsons, In Living Color and Married With Children were the best shows on TV. Donnie Simpson was on BET. MC Hammer was the hottest artist. Pretty Woman was the biggest movie.
Things change. Gangster rap became more popular and he helped it to. Once groups like NWA and the Wu Tang Clan came it songs like these just weren't popular anymore
Nothing happened to us... it happened to them... I remember these girls sang the chorus to me and the homies at lunchtime... Tanya and Gina. Yeah Buddy
I love this song and the fact that Betty Wrights Tonights the Night is the beat is amazing. Man this was true rap. They took great grooving beats we danced too and made them into great music and tracks.
Me. Getting my daughter’s hair braided, the song that was sampled to make this came on and it instantly brought me back to this. Had to revisit it. Good song.
At 15 years old I remember liking Candyman's video's for the dancing and the vibe. Wasn't that the reason you liked watching videos? We wanted to dance, sing along and feel good. Oh, those were the days. Thank you, Candyman, for making me smile then and now.
iluvmyboba 1988 or something like that wasn't it? Cause I was around 15-16 too, and I lived in Glendale California, and I actually believed my friend when she said it was her doing the background lyrics, lol, WELL, it could have been, after all we lived in Los Angeles California.
@@benjaminnichols9727 okay, so there IS something about the "look" on dude's face! I have not seen this video in probably 28 years but I knew anticipated that he'd have that face on. wow.
I was a little kid when I first heard this and it's always been #1 on my top 5 songs of all times list, Good ol days when I was a kid and no responsibilities or work lol
Fun fact! This track was produced by none other than Johnny J! 😊😎 Later produced 2Pac’s DR tracks…he makes a cameo in the video as the DJ as well..❤️ RIP Johnny J
SouthCalifas619 No it's not. Knockin' Boots' sample from Betty Wright's "Tonight is the Night" and Rose Royce' "Ooh Boy".. While On a Sunday Afternoon could be a mix from 4 samples: 1) "Papa was too" By Joe Tex, 1966 2) "Groovin'" By The Young Rascals, 1967 3) "Crystal Blue Persuasion" By Tommy Jones and the Shondells, 1968 4) "La-la Means I Love You" By Delfonics, 1968 It just sounds similar because they're both sung by the same vocalist I believe, Shiro Stokes.
Thanks for this, i was scrolling down through all the comments hoping to find out who knew but the additional information as well was a bonus - you really know your music!!!
yes i will i just paid homage just learned about him today ,,,dayum im late mar 20 spring day 2021 we was on of the best ...better then most ..on the super low ...
Had this album in 90-back when I was 12. Album had a few good tracks but he went MIA after. I was little white punk kid who thought I was the coolest thing and loved hip hop. Rakim, G Rap, Kane EPMD, PE were my favs back then-great time for music and just growing up. Miss those days
I met Candyman last year. He was drunk off of his rocker but he was very nice. He took a picture with everyone who asked and he even had conversations with everyone.
Okay I know this comment is 3 years old but I still have to respond. I don't know where you went to school but it was exactly the same for me. I am 47 years old and to this day anytime somebody says "Can I ask you a question?" My mind just goes back to Junior High.
Boy oh boy do I love this song! I remember this guy was on fire with this jam. He performed this song on every show imaginable and I recorded each performance as a kid.
This joint is Smooth 🔥🔥☑️☑️🙌🙌😁😁🔥🔥🔥☑️🙌🔥🔥. Hard to believe this song was made 30 yrs ago. It sounds just like it was made yesterday the beat and lyrics are so fresh 💖💖
This lyrics was in my head all the week but I couldnt find it anywhere. Shaggy this och Shaggy that (I love him tho) but this version is the ONE I was looking for. Old school ❤

In 2024, I'm still a conscious and boom bap hip hop head but i like having fun, which is a element of the culture and this classic embodies that. 😊
I’m an ‘85 baby. This song brings me so much nostalgia of being a kid.
1985 here. Mid 80s is timeless

THIS WILL NEVER GET OLD...THEY DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TO...
One of kind… still blowing my mind.. 2023!

Hip Hop was fun back in the day!
These were the days when The Simpsons, In Living Color and Married With Children were the best shows on TV.
Donnie Simpson was on BET.
MC Hammer was the hottest artist.
Pretty Woman was the biggest movie.
Oh man, Donnie Simpson was the man! Every Black singer and rapper wanted to get on his show.
I use to watch video soul every day also dont forget about the movie House party was popular too
@@sarahsimpkins1311 Yes Indeed ! You are correct. House Party is a CLASSIC !
I was in Jr high school
Head bangers ball was in too.
He Sound just like Play and looks like Overton 😂😂😂... But damn if this ain't a fresh into the 90s feel... I don't know what is 🤷🏽♂️
90s music artists and Hip Hop muzic, lyrics beats, bass was the best.
NO QUESTION 90'S ERA FOREVER.......BEST ERA PERIOD...
2024 STILL BANGIN THIS CLASSIC STILL DOPE MUSIC..
Bumping this til the wheels fall off 🎶🎵🎶

@@Vcb619 NO DOUBT
October 2024 still gets play
Tone Loc at the beginning never paid attention to this before!!
Yup!😊
I just now noticed that too. That is definitely Tone Loc
Notice he spun the record backwards and knocked the stylus off.
oh yeah !!
How in the fuck do you NOT immediately recognize Tone’s voice?!?
I couldn't believe how good this was when it came out, and it still holds up!
For real tho.
Dear god what happen to us, this was a amazing time to be alive
DYSTOPIAN REALITY
the internet
Things change. Gangster rap became more popular and he helped it to. Once groups like NWA and the Wu Tang Clan came it songs like these just weren't popular anymore
So True
Nothing happened to us... it happened to them...
I remember these girls sang the chorus to me and the homies at lunchtime... Tanya and Gina. Yeah Buddy
One of the first hip-hop songs i learned all the lyrics to and really got into. Still bangin to this day!
I love it, takes me back to 1990
Yep
Damn!! Mis the 90s can we go back memories 😔
It came out in 90? I was 14 / 15 then..
@@rey746 I wish baby....ima 90's chic...stay representing.
I thought it was later than that
Only 7.3 mill views? This song was the shit back in the 90s, and still bumping!!
Anyone else feel Candyman and Play sound identical???? I love it, my era of music.
Crazy Johnny J went from this video background to producing some if not the best 2 pac songs ever!! Rest easy Johnny J.
I love this song and the fact that Betty Wrights Tonights the Night is the beat is amazing. Man this was true rap. They took great grooving beats we danced too and made them into great music and tracks.
Cool
I remember it was on the jukebox
Listen to this over and over and over again loved this then and still loving it now.

Is that Tone Loc on the intro?
Me. Getting my daughter’s hair braided, the song that was sampled to make this came on and it instantly brought me back to this. Had to revisit it. Good song.

I'm feeling that ish
I agree 💯
True dat.
Thank u for taking me back to the simple things.
I love how he samples Tonight's the night by Betty wright, and references Ooh Boy by Rose Royce. 2 amazing classics
Timeless smooth track with a groove that no one can match. Respect!! 💯
Thanks for the groove Betty.
My first concert at a pre-teen night club in the late 80s. This song will always hold a special place in my heart!!!
The dj played this the other day and my childhood flashed in my eyes 😮💨✨
Why have I gone all my life without hearing this song till now??!?!
Every second of this is so good
Oh wow!!
I was about to say the same thing. Lol
25 + years ago
2023 now lol
Do yourself a favor and tap into all the old school music from mid 80s-mid 90s.. (Thank me later. My 20 yr old son did)
So glad you found it. 🎉
Who is listening in COVID 19, this classic Jam, smooth and classy
And ll cool j

I am
I do and have been seen it came out. Love 80’s & 90’s. Best music 🎵
I also heard paperboys ditty , 😁.
When dudes danced and girls looked beautiful without any booty inplants.. great videos & music
Right!! And guys pants weren't hanging to their knees wearing hoodies!!
I’m a 90s baby it’s unfortunate I missed most of the timeless classics that came before me.
NICE PLACE TO START LEARNING SOME DOPE MUSIC....SALUTE TO YOU..
Beat is fire since '90.
Excellent! Great tune. You don't hear this stuff anymore!
Random fun fact, the girl singing the hook in this song, is the same girl that sings the hook in Thuggish Ruggish Bone, Shatasha Williams!
also candyman is on the front cover of nwa and posse album.
Yep! I read that in a 2015 interview.
Yeah they both went to Washington prep. (Generals)
She look asian. No way her last name can black
Really
"Break out the bottle of Asti Spumante pop of the top and Rock wit my posse"

Word lol 😂
The look on his face as he says this! 😆
The Good Stuff!

...SO much better than that "Korbel" or "Brüt" crap.

No it's not.
Knockin' Boots' sample from Betty Wright's "Tonight is the Night" and Rose Royce' "Ooh Boy"..
While On a Sunday Afternoon could be a mix from 4 samples:
1) "Papa was too" By Joe Tex, 1966
2) "Groovin'" By The Young Rascals, 1967
3) "Crystal Blue Persuasion" By Tommy Jones and the Shondells, 1968
4) "La-la Means I Love You" By Delfonics, 1968
It just sounds similar because they're both sung by the same vocalist I believe, Shiro Stokes.

I love his hilarious facial expression trying to pronounce "Asti spumante"!
is it just me or is this one of the best songs ever mixed with one of the best songs ever
December 2023, I still do the troop dance and pull it out of my repertoire from time to time.
Ohw I never knew I could be so happy to hear one of my childhood-first-in-touch-with-hiphop/rap favorites! 🙏🏻
This song and Don't Fight the Feeling by Too Short were the two most popular songs at my middle school. Ahh, the memories 😊
