I’m a child of the 70s. In the black community we had lots of cook outs, block parties and family gatherings. I can tell you there weren’t many songs by whites that were being played. Yet, I do remember this one being played. It had a really good rhythm to it. We had our own dance moves unlike the corney steps in this video. Over all we jammed to it. Also I didn’t know they were a all white band until now. Correction! I’m sorry they’re Cubans! That’s kool, now it makes sense.

The O'Jays, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and later Teddy Pendergrass, etc. laid the foundation for what would later become Disco and be taken over by Whites and Hispanics, who sucked the soul out of it, which led to that whole racist cave animal display at Comiskey Park back in 1980, and the destruction of black music which wasn't even RELATED to Disco! If it had a black face on the cover, it was to be destroyed! THESE dudes tried to be the real thing, but even WHITE people wouldn't allow them to be serious! That's too bad for them, but it's all done to fw US! 🤷🏾‍♂️😒🤣

This is the wisest thing I’ve read in a while.

We are fortunate this video was ever filmed ,because this video was not filmed by the band or its record company ,this video was filmed by spanish television channel TVE and its dancers promoting an appearance by the band Foxy and its song on their show.The lead dancer Manuel Bandera is still around and is working on bringing A Chorus Line to Spain.

D'oh. I just posted up asking about the origins of this thing. Didn't see this. Oh well. Great video. 😊

The moustached dancer is the embodiment of enjoyment 😂

This is amazing. We knew how to have actual fun in the 70s and 80s Fun. Todays young people look miserable

We all just need to give it up for the dancers in the video for probably suffering the rest of their lives with whiplash

Es una supercancion con un sonido y un guitarreo fuera de lo comun y muy original, los integrantes de este grupo son hijos de padres latinos, chicos nacidos en EEUU afincados en Miami, el baterista es hijo de Tito Puente el rey del timbal, la coreografia de solo verlo me da torticolis, pero tambien muy original

This was possibly the greatest era of music. So many choices, and really the end of disco. But of all my choices, and some of these groups are still touring, this was the first officially licensed cassette I ever bought for, wait for it, my huge boombox as a middle schooler, living on an Air Force base in Okinawa, Japan. I had bought plenty of pirated cassettes, but this was my first real purchase. It was certainly a different time back then.

That was the thing about the 70s - colourful, and you could find yourself listening to all sorts of mad stuff as well as the great music of that decade. Real life could be pretty drab at times but the entertainment was bright and fun.

Ive seen other videos of this song....weak. its like the band was blessed with a great party song but couldnt live up to it. This is what the song needed, party dancers. Sure today their styles are outdated, but the energy these dancers give here is what the song needed.

I remember this song from high school days

Wow! Im going back to my first week starting 8th Grade in junior high school with this jam. Saw them perform on American Bandstand with this jam as well.

I think the main message of the song is to “get off” or something or other. 🤔

This Was A Big Hit.... We Jammed On This 🎶💃... Floor Was Packed!!

Outside the disco we were in line waiting to get in. Actually it was better than inside because somebody left the bathroom door open and the music and lights came out through the window. So the rythm of this song caught on us, dancing and taking turns to pass in front of the window to watch the strobe lights shine on our clothes. One-night friendship i know, but an immortal memories

I love this song, but I can't unsee this now. I'm doing the ugly laugh SO hard right now.

Este tema se lanzó en Julio de 1978 por el sello propiedad de T.K. (Fundado por Henry Stone a principios de los 70 y situado en Hialeah, Florida), Dash Records en su segundo álbum de estudio. Llegó al puesto 18 en el Billboard Hot Disco de aquél año aunque en el Billboard Hot Soul llegó al número 1. Foxy fue una banda de música disco de finales de los 70 en la que todos los miembros eran cubanos. Destacaban el fundador Ish Ledesma (que en 1979 sacó un tema suyo propio llamado "Don't Stop") y el hijo de Tito Puente, Richie Puente a la batería. Su primer álbum se lanzó en 1976 conteniendo sus éxitos "Get Off Your Aaahh And Dance" y "Let's Love". Al año siguiente sacaron una cover de "The Way You Do The Things You Do" popularizada por The Temptations en formato doce pulgadas para T.K. Disco y en 1979 lanzaron "Hot Number". Un tema muy parecido estructuralmente a "Get Off". El grupo se desintegró en 1980, justo cuando ocurrió el principio del fin de la era de oro de la música disco, dando paso a la era Post-Disco. Las vocalistas femeninas eran un grupo de sesión que había trabajado con Peter Brown (otro artista de T.K. que en 1977 sacó un tema con Betty Wright llamado "Dance With Me") y que se llamaba Wildflower. Este grupo en 1977 lanzó una versión Disco del tema interpretado por Ray Noble en 1939 "Harlem Nocturne" en formato doce pulgadas a 45 RPM para T.K. Disco en el número de serie TKD 55.

My guess is that it was a TV show from someplace in Europe, where artists lip-synch, and pretend to play their instruments along to the pre-recorded album track. Kind of like "top of the pops" in the UK, or "solid gold" in the US. US television shows at this time would not have allowed that specific type of dancing with those specific outfits, and probably would have objected to these lyrics on broadcast TV. Given that this TV show clearly had the budget for a dance troupe, and what would have been very cool video effects for the time, I'm surprised they didn't also have a fake set of female back up singers pretending to sing the female voice sections instead of having the band members, pretending they were singing those sections.
