Get Off Hot Number Foxy Friday

In the most surreal composition of the disco era, Foxy urged American citizens of 1978 to Get Off. You don't believe me? Check out the chorus:

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Get off

So get off to get off, to get off, to get, get off
Get off to get off, to get off, get off
So get off, get off, to get off, to get, get off
Get off to get off, get off, get off

To get off, to get off, to get off, to get, get off
Get off, get off, get off, to get off
Get off to get off, get off, get, get off
Get off, get off, so get off, just get off
Get off, get off, get off



Get Off was featured prominently in "Roll Bounce." You haven't seen "Roll Bounce"? What?! The best teen movie ever! Set in Chicago in the 70s. Great soundtrack. Charismatic Bow Wow and his scrappy pals must prove their self-worth in an epic skate-off! The most homoerotic finale in teen-movie history features Wesley Jonathan as "Sweetness," challenging/coming on to Bow Wow in a jumpsuit cut to THERE.




Bonus link: Foxy's Ish Ledesma explains the song's origin in the Get Off story. Contains swear words and irreverent attitudes.

Foxy's next hit, Hot Number, didn't get to number one but it does encourage girls not to worry about being ladies, so that's something.
