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:
“Life is crazy. Now, maybe you knew this all along. But before I had children, I actually held on to the illusion that there was some sense of order to the universe.... I am now convinced that we are all living in a Chagall painting—a world where brides and grooms and cows and chickens and angels and sneakers are all mixed up together, sometimes floating in the air, sometimes upside down and everywhere.”
—Susan Lapinski (20th century)
“the focused beam
folds all energy in:
the image glares filling all space:
the head falls and
hangs and cannot wake itself.”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
