House Song

[Shine]

It goes like:

In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared,
"Let there be HOUSE!"
and house music was born.
"I am, you see,
I am
the creator, and this is my house!
And, in my house there is ONLY house music.
But, I am not so selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes OUR house and OUR house music!"
And, you see, no one man owns house because house music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all.
You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless you're deep into the vibe of house.
House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body.
And, as I told you before, this is our house and our house music.
And in every house, you understand, there is a keeper.
And, in this house, the keeper is Jack.
Now some of you who might wonder,
"Who is Jack, and what is it that Jack does?"
Jack is the one who gives you the power to jack your body!
Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake.
Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm.
Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body.
Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all Jackers together under one house.
You may be black, you may be white; you may be Jew or Gentile. It don't make a difference in OUR House.
And this is fresh.

I believe Trax records put it out. I'm looking to track down the title and either a record or cd that contains it. Any input is much appreciated.

Are you looking for the Acapella? This preach has been sampled hundreds of times since. If you want to try to hunt down the origin.. use [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Yes, thank you.

i haven't seen a copy of that on trax for a while now. I think the only way to find it would be on an accapella record, but you will have to search and find that one

I have a house tape (The House Connection---Richard"Humpty"Vission) with that song on it. I love that tape.

[Gweezy]

so what is the name of this song?

[PowerTools_George]

Yo.. peep my myspace account. I just put up a portion of a live mix from a gig I just had up north.

Add me and hit me up there.. I'll hunt down a name for you.

"In The Beginning" Thank you all

The song that you are referring to is old school Chicago House by none other than the legendary Fingers. I believe that the 12" came out on Trax records, and is virtually priceless due to the inclusion of the acapella.. Oh yeah, the track is "Can you Feel It" and can be found on the "In the Key of E" comp as well as the Trax records Fingers, Inc. double album.

You can also find the acapella on any p2p nowadays.

I didn't think that Mr Fingers did the "Jack Had A Groove" song. Oh well you learn something every day.....

If you want the original on vinyl, you should check [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] they have a classic rare section, but you might have to splurge for it
