has gloss | eng: The bump was a primarily 1970s fad dance first introduced by Johnny Spruce wherein the main move of the dance is to lightly "bump" hips on every other main beat of the music. As the dance (and the evening) progressed, the bumping could become more intimate, bumping hip to backside, low bending, etc. There were several songs that were inspired by the bump one of which was called "The Bump" by Kenny but the song that is most remembered is "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" by George Clinton and Parliament, which was released in 1976. The lyric in the song is "we want the funk", but has been mistaken for "we want the bump". In the UK, possibly the most popular and evocative song used for this dance was "Nutbush City Limits" by "Ike & Tina Turner". |
