S-T-A-M-P
Stampin' on the ground
S-T-A-M-P
Stampin' on the ground
S-T-A-M-P
Stampin' on the ground
S-T-A-M-P
Stampin' on the ground

Woah, yeah

I've been round
So many times before
Broke my back
Been split open so oft
Tried to make it
To the finish line
Been knocked down
Get up
Every single time
They're up
In your face
They don't think
You belong
Man, you got it
You got it goin' on
What breaks the weak
Just makes you strong
You got game
Baby bring it on
Bring it on

[Chorus:]
(And) I said
Stamp your feet
On the ground
Make it really loud
Make the biggest sound
You ain't goin'
Stamp your feet
On the ground
Make it really loud
You ain't going
You ain't goin' down
Stamp your feet
On the ground
Make it really loud
Make the biggest sound
You ain't goin'
Stamp your feet
On the ground
Make it really loud
You ain't goin'
You ain't goin' down

Rain comes
In every player's life
Gotta stay in the game
Not on the sidelines
Gotta throw down
You gotta stand and fight
Keep your eye on the prize
Don't get caught up
In strife
Go, go for the shot boy
Make that play just right
Braggin' about your swag
Won't get you
Through the night

[Chorus:]
(And) I said
Stamp your feet
On the ground
Make it really loud
Make the biggest sound
You ain't goin'
Stamp your feet
On the ground
Make it really loud
You ain't going
You ain't goin' down
Stamp your feet
On the ground
Make it really loud
Make the biggest sound
You ain't goin'
Stamp your feet
On the ground
Make it really loud
You ain't goin'
You ain't goin' down

S-T-A-M-P
You got game
S-T-A-M-P
You got fame
S-T-A-M-P
You got name
S-T-A-M-P
Do that thang
We ain't going down
Oh, no
Make me proud
Stand up and fight

[Chorus:]
(And) I said
Stamp your feet
On the ground
Make it really loud
Make the biggest sound
You ain't goin'
Stamp your feet
On the ground
Make it really loud
You ain't going
You ain't goin' down
Stamp your feet
On the ground
Make it really loud
Make the biggest sound
You ain't goin'
Stamp your feet
On the ground
Make it really loud
You ain't goin'
You ain't goin' down

Stamp your feet (4x)

S-T-A-M-P
No, no, no
We ain't goin' down
S-T-A-M-P
No, no, no
We ain't goin' down
Right till the ending
We'll make it
Through life
Better stamp
Your feet on the
Stamp your feet
On the ground

As the unquestioned queen of disco, the one and only Donna Summer lit up the late 70s and 80s with flashy, exuberant vocals and automatic earworms. Born LaDonna Adrian Gaines on Dec. 31, 1948, Summer moved to Germany after being cast in a Munich production of Hair. There, she happened to meet Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, and the trio conglomerated to form a dynamic music team. With Moroder, Summer forged together her first album, The Hostage, which reached moderate success in Northern Europe. Summer’s big break, however, would come later with the release of 1975’s sexual “Love to Love You Baby”, which became one of disco’s first mainstream hits and reached #2 on the Billboard Charts.

1977 came around with the concept album I Remember Yesterday, which featured the Top 10 single “I Feel Love”. The next year, Summer hit the silver screen with the movie Thank God It’s Friday, whose soundtrack featured one of her own the iconic “Last Dance.” This would later become one of the disco legends' signature songs. “Dance” would take home an Academy Award for Best Original Song, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe, and it jumped to a peak of #3 on the charts.

Yet Summer’s illustrious career was far from finished – Summer’s first live album Live and More featured the single “MacArthur Park”, a melting ballad that was a cover of the Jimmy Webb ballad of the same name. “Park” became Summer’s first – and perhaps most memorable – No. 1 hit, and cemented her status as a vocalist as well as a performer. With the track, she became the first female in modern rock history to hold the top spot in both the Hot 100 and the Billboard 200. 1979, though, would really be the peak of her career.
