Story Behind the Song
this song provided work to dozens of unemployed handclap artists.....Hip Hip Hop was the first song we ever collaborated on, and it received a GREAT response at the time from insiders in both the mainstream and then-nascent indie music business. Nothing panned out in the long run with the song, and we shelved it for years in favor of more 'serious' writing, but resurrecting it here and listening to it through ears with years in between makes us smile at the unself-conscious kids we were back then.....
Lyrics
Hip Hip Hop
Hey, babe, I've watched you waiting
Against the wall there, you're all alone
I know it's getting late, so
Let's hit the dance floor, please don't go home
Chorus:
And hey, hey, hey, hey c'mon and
Hip hip hop, twirl like a top
Be be bop, shake it don't stop
Hip hip hop, twirl like a top
Be be bop, shake it don't stop
Hey, babe, you know it's easy
If you would only give it a try
Won't you come on and please me
Just take a chance and then so will I
Chorus
Hey babe, we're really moving
Our feet are flying across the floor
Feels great, the way we're grooving
So let's get dancing on out the door
Chorus
