Hamptons 100 Songs of Summer #34
“Bust a Move” by Young MC
Everyone knows this 1989 super smash hit by Young MC. The song from his album Stone Cold Rhymin’ earned a Grammy for Best Rap Performance in 1990 and stayed on the Billboard Top 40 for 20 weeks. Now, early 25 years later, it’s a good bet you’ve already got it on your playlist. Did you know Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea sings guest vocals on the song?
Who could resist the rapper’s laugh-out-loud lyrics about picking up women combined with this song’s endlessly danceable beat and chorus? The best part might be that the tune’s would-be Romeo can’t seem to score with the ladies because he can’t dance. “Bust a Move” could be the easiest song to dance to, that’s also being about not knowing how to dance. Hopefully you Hamptons listeners out there will have an easier time finding love—or a short-term playmate—this weekend. What can we say? You want it, you got it. Now go out and bust it.
