This sort of a novelty rap song that made it in Billboard's Soul Charts back in 1984 (believed to be around early spring) with a catchy little phrase (wikki, wikki, wikki, wikki!). It was a long-awaited follow-up to Jam On Revenge (The Wikki Wikki Rap). The only difference is that it was released on 12 inch. Great jam.

I remember that song, and heard it back in the '80s.

That was a cool song. I used to sing it a lot when I was a little kid.

I have this 12 inch too, was prolly the summer song when we were at our pool club. It was also one of the very few singles that charted as a 12inch only track.

Is this the song that Naughty By Nature sampled on "Jamboree"? Nope... my notes show that "Jamboree" sampled "I'm Always Dancin' To The Music" by Benny Golson. Based on the titles of the two songs, for the longest time I thought that "Jam On Revenge" was the sequel... I was wrong though. :) |

The bassline in the song was really infectious. The instrumental in general is great.

There's a remix of Ciara's "1, 2 Step" out right now that uses the instrumental from this.

I hated that song growing up, for a while, anyway. Now I say it's a classic!

Undeniable classic! One of the last reminders of hip-hop's electro era.
PS: And the song that sampled "Jam On It" - or, at least, one of them - was Sir-Mix-A-Lot's creatively titled "Jump On It".

One of my favorite 80s electro-hip hop songs of all time. Heard this one a lot in old school sets on WGCI, B96, and later on V103 when I was younger. I prefer the full 12 inch version than the radio edit, which I didn't know existed until much later. B96 seemed to play the 1st five or six minutes of the 12 inch version than the radio edit whenever they played this as an 80s flashback during the 1990s. 12 inch/full version www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEmg5GaAHbk |
