This is lame, and as a music geek I feel ashamed, but I have about 4 billion James Brown songs in my library, and I can recognize only about 20 or so from the titles alone. So, while I’ve got the song, I’d rather not play snippets of all 4 billion just to find the right one. Anyway, it’s fairly well-known (60s vintage), and the big distinguishing feature is that the music stops and he sings “baby baby baby, baby baby baby” a capella. I think it was even used on one of those stupid _Cosby Show_ episodes where the family did one of their lip-syncing numbers. Anyone? ---
