Songs with ooh, ooh (Michael Zager)

Marcio** · August 24th, 2003, 12:18 AM

I think Michael Zager invented this disco/party trademark and others groups/singers followed him:

1 - "Let's All Chant" by Michael Zager Band, 1977
2 - "Sun Is Here" by Sun, 1978
3 - "Land Of A Thousand Dances" by Silver Blue, 1978
4 - "Disco Extravaganza" by G.B. Experience, 1978

I think this chant is heard on Roy Ayers & Wayne Henderson's 'Heat of the Beat' too. Very 1979!

Hey Marcio,

It's said that when Zager went into the studio to record 'LAC' he did it because he'd been partying at the discos and kept hearing this "chant" from the people that he wanted on record. "Ooo-uh ,ooo-uh" was very popular for a while, along with another chant I loved that they used to sing 'to-the-beat' over any instrumental or long instrumental part in a song: "TURN THIS ************ OUT!" Think someone put that one on record, too. :lol:

And, in the early Eighties, there was the "Bull ****" chant form the Grace Jones' song of the same name.

Somewhat of a twist!

That would be probably "We're gonna turn... this mutha... OUT!" from Parliament's "Tear the roof off". Sounds like that to me...

The Parliament's released their song in 1978. The 'TTMFO' chant started in 1975, if not earlier. Like Michael Zager, they partied, too. This was a 'Black Thang' at the time. :D

Let's not forget...

"The Groove Line" by Heatwave!

Well, I don't want to be like discussing with a moderator

but actually the Mothership Connection LP, which contained "Give up the funk (Tear the roof off the sucker)" was released in 1975 or 1976, according to 2 different books in my library. One of them ("Funk" by Rickey Vincent) also states that the song went to No. 1 Soul in the USA in June 1976. So maybe that could be it?
