All night long, all night long
Shoop, da-da
All night long, all night long
Shoop, da-da

Ooh-ooh, yeah
Come and make a pact
Won't be coming back
Gonna catch a plane
’Cause I need a change
A change, ooh, yeah

All night long, sing this song
On and on and on, whoo!

All night long, all night long
Shoop, da-da
All night long, all night long
Shoop, da-da

All night long
All night long

All night long, all night long
Shoop, da-da
All night long, all night long
Shoop, da-da
Ooh!

All night long, ooh!
All night long

All night long, all night long
(Ooh!)
Shoop, da-da
All night long, all night long
Shoop, da-da

All night long
All night long

Kool & the Gang is an American jazz, R&B, soul, funk, and disco group from Jersey City. They were originally named the Jazziacs when they formed the group in 1964.

They went through several musical phases during their recording career, starting out with a purist jazz sound, then funk and R&B, progressing to a smooth pop-funk ensemble, and in the post-millennium creating music with a modern, electro-pop sound.

The group was becoming prominent in the music industry in the 1970s with hits such as “Holly Wood Swinging”, “Jungle Boogie” and “Summer Madness”. However they cemented their legendary status after the addition of lead vocalist James “J.T.” Taylor. With his help they went on to create classic hits such as “Ladies Night”, “Celebration”, “Get Down On It”, “Cherish” and countless others.
