Anyone who has seen Back to the Future knows this song. The Penguins were made up of Cleveland Duncan, Curtis Williams, Dexter Tisby, and Bruce Tate. The song however was actually in existence before this group formed. Williams had been in another group previously called the Hollywood Flames, and had written this song with another member of that group. Fun Fact: they kind of named themselves after a cigarette campaign penguin. I mean not really, but the correlation between "smoking is cool" and "our music is cool" is insinuated. This song had a similar origin to yesterday's song, by being on the B-side of the tape. A DJ accidentally played the wrong side and the rest is history.
Peace.
