Hello i am trying to trace

[yassa]

some tunes from the past, the first one is early 80's and it went 'Master card, Visa, American express, i aint got nothing gainst no credit card but the cash is the best',. I think it was Kurtis Blow but i am not to sure and i am guessing it has none of the chorus in the title, seeing the problems i am faceing finding the thing. Second was about the same time it went something like 'and the drummer goes a bang bang bang', it is prob nothing like that but thats all i can remember and it's not Laluna 'to the beat of the drum' (94). The Suugar Hill gang was around at the time and my elder sister had both tunes and can't remember either, can you help?

[teash]

I vaguley remember the first one but can`t think what its called. The bang bang one isn`t the tune by B A Robertson is it??

[yassa]

No, it was a dance tune, a very early one, Ba Robertson,, lol, he knocked it off, and such,,, he was ok in his day...

[teash]

The first one wasn`t alexie sayle ullo jon godda new motor?

[yassa]

No, Kurtis Blow was one of the very first rappers and the song is really early hip hop.. I have 'Ello John got a new motor' on 7", good tune 'Whats that switch over there for?'

[teash]

The word mastercard blah blah wern`t sung was they because i`m remembering a tune were they was spoken, am I right?

[teash]

Hear the drummer get wicked" Chad Jackson

[yassa]

No no no, that was much later,,, though the actual tune that Chad Jackson sampled was about in the early eightys, can't remember what thats called either but i remember the tune and i remember the dance, everyone in the club would stand in a line andd jump one step to the left and then jump two to the right,,, can you remember that,,, who done that tune? I have a hinkering and i am looking in to,,, 'Master card, visa, blah blah blah, is Kim Tim III from the Fatback band, remember them, looking everywhere?

[teash]

Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers and it was called "We need some Money"

[yassa]

As a footnote, yassa, the other track that sounded like Chad Jackson's "Hear The Drummer (Get Wicked)" was DJ Mark the 45 King - "The 900 Number" and they both sample a track by Marva Whitney called "Unwind Yourself"

[yassa]

Another thank you,,, you were spot on... So what about the other one, the one with the drummer,,, the tune was about him, maybe something like 'crazy drummer', it was about the same time as, 'Last night a dj saved my life', the original, same genre.
