One of the best pop-funk songs ever recorded.

Awesome! They're singing about my birthday!

I always wanted to get married on Sept. 21 just for this song

Bad de ya baby!

Do you remember the 21st night of September?
Love was changing the mind of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember - how the stars stole the night away, yeah yeah yeah.

Hey hey hey,
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda

My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember - how we knew love was here to stay

Now December found the love that we shared in September.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember - the true love we share today


Hey hey hey
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day.......there was a
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days

Now our bell was ringing, aha
Our souls were singing.
Do you remember every cloudy day - yau !

There was a
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day.......there was a
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - golden dreams were shiny days

Ba de ya de ya de ya
Ba de ya de ya de ya
Ba de ya de ya de ya - De ya.....

Besides this song, is there something important about Sept. 21?

HOW DID THEY PAY ALL THEM!

Okay, that's just weird. I've heard this tune a bazillion times and never realized they started off by mentioning Sept 21st which happens to be my birthday (and Bill Murray and Stephen King as well). Of course I typically ignore lyrics anyway so it shouldn't be that big of a surprise.

And this is why black artists should not be allowed to record if they cannot play instruments. They used to play instruments, and you had the Parliament/Funkadelic collective, Curtis Mayfield, EWF... things were good. They don't play anymore, and...well...Soulja Boy.

Thank you for that, submitter. I forgot how great that song was.

Police estimated that there were about ten thousand members of Earth Wind and Fire. But the group insists they had over a million playing on the video.

Yes, it was 3 months before late December, back in '63. Oh, what a night!

I remember rollerskating to that song :)

Man I miss the 70s!

Or as all the people who aren't ashamed to say they like disco song would call it, "one of the best disco songs".

And it totally is.

Why WHY WHY don't we have bands that make music like that anymore? Maybe I should be chasing kids off my lawn, but our music sucks these days!! That song kicks ass, I love it everytime I hear it!

 
TonySoprano 2008-09-22 06:31:13 AM  
I was rollerskating to that song in the mid 80's even :)

That one goes into the Pop Bass Line Hall of Fame.

It's one of the few songs I have never gotten sick of even though I work in radio and am supposed to be sick of every single song I've ever heard.

/serpentine fire ftw

Rock on. I love Serpentine Fire.

If that funky-assed bassline doesn't move you, you must be a corpse.

Yet you don't cite Vanilla Ice as a white artist who cannot play an instrument and should not record.

Boo!
