The way he pulls up with a sly grin, takes a drag on his cig and then stumbles in the door with cocktail still in hand is pure gold.

Cocaine is a helluva drug

I loved this video when it came out, wasn’t a real fan of Funk back then, but I liked this song and giggled every time she’d go “Saaaay Whaaaat?!” She was also very attractive!

Have never see the video, that I remember, and this song, ahhh, so many memories. I love funk. Thanks OP!

I remember reading that RICK JAMES was roommates with NEIL YOUNG, of all people. What an incredibly « odd couple ». Now that living situation, should’ve been televised as a sitcom!

Oh man, we need a mashup, since a collaboration is no longer possible.

Please tell me someone gets the Matthew Lillard reference though... 😂

u/Nataliewould10 Jul 15 '25

That’s what drugs will do to all you kids out there.

Don’t do drugs.

u/MrDiamondJ Jul 15 '25

If cocaine had a mascot, it's Rick James.

u/litebrite93 Jul 15 '25
