I just know the original Gil Scott Heron version and that surely is hot
See that black boy over there, runnin' scared his ol' man's in a bottle. He done quit his 9 to 5 to drink full time so now he's livin' in the bottle. Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy! | |

I just found another early 80's Electro funk version called "In the bottle" by a group called C.O.D. on some old Steetsounds collection. Damn that was almost 20 years ago! and I'm pretty sure I didn't put this album on since then... now that's what I call a dustie  Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green.

I just seen this thread!! I don't know which album this came off of, but it's one of my favorites on his greatest hits!
Gil's the man! Too bad he's not shining like he should be at the moment.  | |

I haven't heard this song in SO long I forgot what it sounds like. I guess I should re-acquaint myself with it.... I dig "Angel Dust" too. Unfortunately life is imitating art nowadays for Gil. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Oh hell yeah,I know this song! It's one of those hypnotic jams that stays in your head all day long. 
There's also a disco version by a guy named Joe Bataan,which I have on a Salsoul Records 2-CD compilation.Great pick,Dansa! | |

actually the original thread title was about the Joe Bataan version, but Dansa changed it to make my first reply look rather foolish
