The Year Is 1977 - Who Remembers This Song?

[grinningghost]

"Rubberband Man" by The Spinners

"Hand me down my walkin' cane
Hand me down my hat
Hurry now and don't be late
'Cause we ain't got time to chat
You and me we're goin' out
To catch the latest sound
Guaranteed to blow your mind
So high you won't come down

Hey y'all, prepare yourself
For the Rubberband Man
You never heard a sound
Like the Rubberband Man
You're bound to lose control
When the Rubberband starts to jam..."

That song always makes me smile.....I'm not sure why! Let's see...I was 21 that year!

Maybe that's why!

I always smile about stuff that happened when I was 21. Of course, I'm only 29 now...

I'm only 29 now... yeah, that's sounds real good.

I think you're right!

Yup, makes me smile, also. I was 25 and got married that year. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane.

Glad you enjoyed it. Now, tell me, are you dancing?

 

[snoopy]

Loved it! That was definately a song I associate with the roller rink.

 

[Stitchfans]

I remember that song. Nice beat, but not that easy to dance to. Is this really showing our ages?

 

[whimsey]

Now, tell me, are you dancing?


Yup.

I'd even have my groove thing on if I could find it, not sure I even still have one, may have lost it in the late 80's.

 

[allie&mattsmom]

Oh memories. I was in 7th grade and we cheerleaders did a dance to that song at an assembly. I loved that song!

Me too. It seems, according to this thread, that Rubberband Man was a big hit at the roller rinks.

 

[QuiltTeddy]

Loved the music from the 70s.

 

[Aidensmom]

I should have known better than to open this thread, now the song is stuck in my head!

Hey, that's pretty good. I've never heard them called that before!

 

[ilovedale3]

I love that song!

When we were at WDW a few weeks ago, we stayed in the 70's section at POP. They were playing this song one evening as we were walking back to our room from the pool. I started dancing like I was going down the Soul Train line.



DH was not amused and started walking faster so no one would think that he was with me.

Wow this one brings back memories. My boyfriend at the time was a BIG Spinners fan & for his birthday I took him to the old Latin Casino in Cherry Hill, NJ to see the Spinners live.
When they did Rubber Band Man, they all hand giant rubber bands that they danced in and around throughout the song. Being reminded of that makes me smile!

 

[Aurora63]

Yes, I remember, even though I'm 29. It's the Staples song!
