Moved from the article to here, where it belongs:

"As of 2005, this song was referenced in some song with the quote "I was young and foolish, didn't know why". If a Wikipedian can name it, add it to this article."

  • I heard an ingreguing reference to the Gap Band in some recent pop song. This reference was a lyrical one; "I was young and foolish; didn't know why." I want to know the name of that song; and if a Wikipedian does, send me a message. Also, mention it in this article. --TheSamurai 02:57, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

A song that reference the song "Early in the Morning"

There is a song that I am dying to download that was made this decade with the lyric "I was young and foolish, I didn’t know what I was doin’ I didn’t know I lost you till you’re gone She had a pretty face that drove men wild I even wanted her to have my child". I don't know the name of it. If a Wikipedian can name it for me along with the song artist, give me a message! --SuperDude 22:20, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Somebody hasn't responded yet!!! I am losing my temper! --SuperDude 21:12, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The answer to that question has finally been found; Justin Timberlake is one of the artists that does that song; Gap Band nephew Snoop Dogg interpolates lyrics from Early in the Morning in the 2005 song Signs.

If you're collecting songs with that phrase, Carolina in the Morning has it. -- Infrogmation 23:11, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Football Coinicdence

I can't remember who it is, but there is a footballer who had his own suport "Song" which went thusly: "Ooh-Ah - Oooh-ah-ah! I said; 'Ooh-ah -oooh ah ah!" it is exactly the same tune as "Ooops up side your head! I said; Ooops up side your head!" Is that a conicidence or should that be added?

Spam

The spammer, using the IP address 67.182.72.212, added the self-promotional information back to Bobby Brown, Perri "Pebbles" Reid, Loose Ends (band)‎ and Bobby Brown. I have reverted all those edits, and will leave warnings on the talk page for that user. Does anyone know how to report spam to administrators? Huntthetroll (talk) 21:31, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Burn Rubber

Dance

I was wondering the same thing - I found some info here but I think we need an expert who can verify it before it goes into the article.

Named in ref to Tulsa Race Massacre

Hello, I've added a ref to the naming of the band in ref to the above. Unfortunately I messed up the citation insertion as I didn't know how to do it properly. The video on the ABC News article features an interview with the Gap Band lead singer where he explains this point at 9 minutes into the video. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/tulsa-massacre-100-years-black-wall-street-reimagined/story?id=79418755
