I'm looking for the name/artist of a popular dance song that was apparently played a lot in the late 70s or early 80s (though I heard it recently) and it has the words "kimosabe" and "ride it" in it - I think. It was really too loud to make out the lyrics. Anyone know?

I'm thinking its sugarhill gang, apache (jump on it)... looking for a link...

Short clip of the song... I'm sure you can buy it on itunes.

SUGARHILL GANG - APACHE LYRICS

The apache song was in '99... but their first big hit was rapper's delight... one of the first mainstream rap songs out there... wish I could find a clip...

That's it, thanks!

Hell yea... off topic-ish, I know... but this was their Mark in Music. The song that brought street dance to every burb. When people talk "old school" in rap, this is It.
