thumbs up! sweet!.

One of the baddest brakes on record. I can remember my uncle busting a move @ a family get together doing the penguin (the dance) to this cut.

Yep, two of the most notable sampler's of this song LL Cool J and Young MC.

I remember when they used to rock this song on WABC in NYC daily! "Scorpio" was the jam!

Because the thread title just says "Classic Cut of the Day - Scorpio". Once you open it, you find out it's Dennis Coffey. smile
