That's the way, uh-uh, uh-uh, I like it, ah huh, ah huh,
That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it, ah huh, ah huh,
That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it, ah huh, ah huh,
That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it, ah huh, ah huh,

When you take me by the hand,
Tell me I'm your loving man,
When you give me all your love and do it,
Babe, the very best you can,

Oh, That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it, ah huh, ah huh
That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it, ah huh, ah huh,
That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it, ah huh, ah huh,
That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it, ah huh, ah huh,

When I get to be in your arms,
When we're all all alone,
When you whisper sweet in my ear,
When you turn, turn me on.

Oh, that's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it, ah huh, ah huh,
That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it, ah huh, ah huh,
That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it, ah huh, ah huh,
That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it, ah huh, ah huh,
Say O.K. That's the way, ah huh, that's the way, ah huh,
Say O.K. That's the way, ah huh, that's the way, ah huh,
OOhh That's the way, ah huh, I like it, ah huh,
That's the way, ah huh, I like it, ah huh,
That's the way, ah huh, I like it, ah huh,

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo ah huh,
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo ah huh,
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo ah huh,
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo,

That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it,
That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it,
That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it,
That's the way, ah huh, ah huh, I like it,




Say O.K. That's the way, that's the way,
Say O.K. That's the way, that's the way.

Let's be honest here. 70s, 80s, and 90s music are all impossible to beat. Yeah, they weren't perfect, but bops like these made those eras shine.

@SirDumbassXXXIV

@Cristos Raptis Like Daft Punk's HBFS

@staceygrove5976

Not so sure about the 1990s, and I think the 80s had run out of steam by the middle of the decade. 60s and 70s though - tops!

@MrCrashBandicoot25

70s were perfect
