1983.. Although I dug Joystick and Swoop. To The Roof and Straight Out Of School were my joints. Nice LP.

One of my favorite jams by the Dazz. This
one was very underappreciated.

You think so, I thought it was pretty popular, but not on the level of "Let It Whip" though.

"I just want you to be mine
Take control,I'l let you play me overtime
Just take control of the stick,of the stick.of the stick,of the stick,of the joystick,baby"

btw,are you sure this song is from 1982? I seem to recall hearing it on the radio in late 1983.

Yes it was released late 1983 during my senior year in high school.

"laughing at you" is my fave joint from this album

Thanks for the correction of the year, guys.

Take a hold and play with The Joystick. Hell yeah, that was a hot jam.

"To The Roof" was my favorite from the album and the 12 Inch version of "Swoop" was really hot.

Funny thing is, when this song first came out, I didn't really know what it was really about. Kind of like the song "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band.

Forgot how much I like this song. I like the Pacman game sound samples and the keyboards.

I love songs that are so cleverly written that you don't always know exactly what they're REALLY singing about,lol.

SoulAlive said:

Me too.

I too prefer this version, rather than the LP version.

~ Straight Out Of School ~

Joystick funk AND rock harder than Let It Whip. Either way, they are both of my all-time favorite synth-funk tracks.
