Frankie Smith | Double Dutch Bus (1981)

"Double Dutch Bus" [2] is a funk song by Frankie Smith, made famous for its extensive use of the "izz" infix form of slang. It was released in February 1981, although some sources indicate 1980 as the original release date.

The single capitalized on the concepts of the double-decker bus and the jump rope game called Double Dutch, popular with American children since the early 1970s.


The song became a foundation of hip hop music and dance.
