Ultimate college football kickoff weekend playlist

No. 43: Morris Day & The Time – The Bird

Year Released: 1984
Billboard Hot 100 Chart Peak: 36

With the absence of The Electric Slide, The Macarena and The Cupid Shuffle, we still needed to add something to the playlist which might induce a spontaneous line dance.

Everyone…but everyone…love to imitate Morris Day’s famous dance from the motion picture, Purple Rain.

"America, have you heard? I got a brand new dance and it’s called “The Bird” You don’t need no finesse or no personality You just need two arms and an attitude And everybody sing with me, come on now"

Admit it. You were just sliding back and forth in your chair, flapping your arms and screaming “Whawk!!”

Hallelujah!
