"One Of Those Nights (Feel Like Getting Down)" by Billy Ocean

This jam sounds nothing like what Billy Ocean did a few years later. Billy got funky on this one. Give it up y'all!

Get up...'a get down tonight
'A get up....'a get down tonight
(Put on your dancin' shoes)
'A get down tonight....'a get up....'a get down tonight

Alot of people think Billy Ocean began his career in the 80s.They don't know about his 1976 single "Love Really Hurts Without You",a minor hit in the summer of that year.

Hell yeah. It's definately his funkiest. He should have done more jams like that.

Yeaaah Andy!! You picked a FUNKY jam right there. I liked that one better then "Carribean Queen" It seemed like Billy went downhill after that. And he hit rock bottom with "Get Into My Car" Someone should've beat his @$$ back to Trinidad for that one.

"Get Outta My Dreams,Get Into My Car" is one of the WORST songs of the 80s barf I hate that song with a passion! Not surprisingly,Billy's career came to an abrupt end after that awful song.
