When the Sugarhill gang released ‘Rapper’s Delight’, few could have imagined the immediate or long-term effect. The song introduced rap in millions and changed the path of hip hop. It cost an urban sound, it turned in a cultural movement. It popularized a different type of rhythm and rhyme. In short, this one song changed the music industry.
The result was “Rapper’s Delight”, a song that borrowed the bass line from Chic’s “Good Times” and it was with playful, boasting rhymes. It was recorded in a single take and released as a 12-inch single-it-format that preferred DJs and dance clubs. The track quickly climbed the charts and reached no. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping lists in Canada and the UK.
Rap has changed in recent decades, but the texts of “Rapper’s Delight” were like many in other songs that followed – fun and full of bragging and humor. With the same purpose of pleasure and humor, here is a Bowmar -Sports version, with a table tennis turn:
Chopper’s pleasure
What you hear now is not a test, I am at the rhythm
Me, the paddle and my crew, we bring warmth to your chair
You see, I wonder, and I would like to say hello
To the top spin, the backspin,
The loop and the heel, the film and the power
But first I have to go to the rally heels
Say up, jump the smash to the Bang-Bang Volley
Let’s chop, you don’t stop
Din the rhythm that you will make paddle popped
Sticky shak, yes, I am low, low,
My rubber has grip like a Pros Got Flow,
I walk, I block, I counterattack
You try to hit, but I send it back.
I rock that rental green, fast and tight,
My footwork is smooth, my timing is right,
From the cellar competitions to the world tour scene,
I am the king of the table, the spinning machine.
A with a Ping-Pop, the paddler to the paddle
The heel, the heel and you don’t stop the fight
To the Bang-Bang Boogie, say the rally
To the rhythm of the volley and beat
