Mystery disco tune- help

Opening line(IIRC): 'Dance- dance, dance, dance'. There's also a line that goes 'yowza, yowza, yowza- I wanna boogie with you'. That's all I got. Help- it's stuck in my head.

The new RickRoll?

I only watched a few seconds of it- I'm saving it to watch w/the old lady. We love this crap.

If you're interested in playing it - and some other cool Bernard Edwards lines - there's a book called FUNK & DISCO BASS by STUART CLAYTON that looks at 20 or so of Bernard's great bass lines...it's a great book, pretty accurate - tab too if you don't read notation.

Thank you, Paul. You know, the good thing about being a narrow-minded 14-yr-old when this stuff came out is that it's somewhat fresh now.
