Uncles act a fool at the family reunion every time this is played.

You got that right, then you always got that old drunk cousin trying to show the young kids "how we used to do it back in the day!"

Hands down my favorite Gap Band song! Hell, it's on the short list of my all-time favorites.

I absolutely adore this. It's wonderfully sublime and makes me so happy whenever I hear it.

is it me but this song sounds like my prerogative

I the Gap Band

their CD gets played once a week or more here, even my teens love them

never cared for this song

nothing tops "Outstanding"

Don't u mean My perrogative sounds like Burn rubber? Rubber came out in 1982.

I can attest to that too, ain't nuthin like watchin a bunch of 40+ folks tryna do the Rock off this track.

But yeah, this is most definitely one of my favorite Gap Band tracks.

Showing sum luv to tha boyz from Oklahoma. i always associate the opening of this song with a VW beatle. i get that image everytime i hear the song.



"I never, ever had a lover
Who put the pedal to the metal
And burned rubber on me, Charlie
NO, no, no, no, no, no "

the Gee Aye Pee !

That's the worst thing you've ever said/typed!


If by "nothing" you mean "Burn Rubber," "Early in the Morning," and "I Don't Believe...," then yes.

Love em'

Hell yeah! As soon as we used to hear that motorcyle at the beginning, we used to run to the skate floor.....knocking over everyone in the way.

This is definitely my favorite Gap Band album. I love "Humpin'" and "Nothing Comes To Sleepers".

I'd listen to Solid Gold Sunday
EEEEEVERY Sunday sitting in front of
my boombox, index finger on the pause button
recording all my favorite oldies...
and "Burn Rubber" was one of them
I don't know why...
I just never really fancied that song much

about the "Outstanding" comment
I'm not real real familiar with
Gap Band's catalog... to know
what's the creme de la creme or whatnot...
but I do have this album

(which I sampled "Baby Baba Boogie"
for my first project... The EP)
and of course, "I'm In Love" is gorgeous
but I don't have any of their other stuff

BTW, I loved watching that orange firefly thingthing

or whatever it was that was their
record label imprint spin around on my wrecka player
that was the best thing about playing my 45 for "Outstanding"

It's O.K. You'll come around eventually.


See, now you're killing me! Chris, you need to be Gaptized in the funk! If you can, track down the original albums (starting with III and IV). If you can't, they have a few great compilations. The best is the 2-disc Gold:

Disc 1
1. Shake
2. Open Up Your Mind (Wide)
3. I Don’t Believe You Wanna Get Up And Dance (Oops, Upside Your Head)
4. Steppin' (Out)
5. Party Lights
6. The Boys Are Back In Town
7. No Hiding Place
8. Burn Rubber (Why You Wanna Hurt Me)
9. Yearning For Your Love
10. Humpin'
11. Early In The Morning
12. You Dropped A Bomb On Me
13. Outstanding
14. Season's No Reason To Change
15. Party Train
16. Jam The Motha' (Munchkin People) - 7" Single Version
17. Someday

Disc 2
1. Beep A Freak
2. I Found My Baby
3. Disrespect
4. Going In Circles - Single Remix Version
5. Automatic Brain
6. Big Fun
7. Zibble, Zibble (Get The Money) (A.K.A. Get Loose, Get Funky)
8. Sweeter Than Candy / Penitentiary III
9. Straight From The Heart
10. I'm Gonna Git You Sucka
11. All of My Love
12. Addicted To Your Love
13. We Can Make It Alright
14. Sprung On Me – Charlie Wilson (Solo)
15. You Turn My Life Around – Charlie Wilson (Solo)

The only real problem with it is that it includes the single edits (which makes sense). To get the extended versions, you can get the bargain-priced 12" Collection and More:

okay... I feel so ashamed
I get "Burn Rubber" and
"You Dropped A Bomb On Me"
mixed up

still though
I don't care for either of those

thanx AlexdeParis...
I will check those albums out
if I can find them
