Just thinking of this song makes me smile as I think back to my days of listening to this tape on my boom box and the old dances we used to do to this song. My favorite line "break out before you get bum-rushed." Oh, and for you 90s babies, the Will Smith version is not the original one. Enjoy this trip back to 1987 with "Wild Wild West" by Kool Moe Dee! A little … [Read more...] about Throwback Friday: “Wild Wild West” by Kool Moe Dee
