Oops Upside Your Head
"I Don't Believe You Want to Get Up and Dance (Oops!)", (titled "Oops Upside Your Head" on the single), is a 1979 funk anthem recorded by the R&B group The Gap Band and released off their fourth album, The Gap Band II.
The single was released in several countries in different formats. In America, it was a 12" with the B-side being "Party Lights". In Holland, the 12 B-side was "The Boys Are Back in Town". In France, the single was a 7" with no B-side.
The single became an international hit for the group upon its late 1979 release, though it failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100 (peaking at number-one on its Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart), the song hit the top ten on the US R&B and disco charts and became a big-seller overseas where it peaked at number six in the UK and number six in the Netherlands.
Famous quotes containing the words upside and/or head:
“Fear is cruel and mean. The political reigns of terror have been reigns of madness and malignity,—a total perversion of opinion; society is upside down, and its best men are thought too bad to live.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“It is easy to see that, even in the freedom of early youth, an American girl never quite loses control of herself; she enjoys all permitted pleasures without losing her head about any of them, and her reason never lets the reins go, though it may often seem to let them flap.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
