Kool & The Gang es una de las bandas más icónicas de la música funk, soul y R&B. La historia de esta legendaria agrupación comenzó en 1964 en Jersey City, Nueva Jersey, cuando los hermanos Robert "Kool" Bell y Ronald Bell, junto a sus amigos, decidieron formar un grupo musical. Inicialmente, se hacían llamar "The Jazziacs" y se centraban en el jazz. Sin embargo, pronto actualizaron su nombre a "Kool & The Flames" y finalmente a "Kool & The Gang" para evitar confusiones con el famoso grupo de James Brown, The Famous Flames.
Durante sus primeros años, Kool & The Gang navegó por varios géneros, incluyendo el funk y el jazz. Su álbum debut homónimo, lanzado en 1969, no fue un gran éxito comercial, pero estableció las bases de su estilo único. Durante los primeros años de la década de los 70, su popularidad empezó a aumentar, gracias a su enérgico y distintivo sonido. Canciones como "Jungle Boogie" y "Hollywood Swinging" se convirtieron en grandes éxitos en 1973, consolidando a la banda como un talento emergente en la escena musical.
La siguiente década fue clave para Kool & The Gang. En 1979, con la llegada de James "J.T." Taylor como vocalista principal, la banda comenzó a experimentar un mayor éxito comercial. El álbum "Ladies' Night" (1979) se convirtió en un hito, seguido de trabajos exitosos como "Celebrate!" (1980). La canción "Celebration" de este último

Why is everybody always pickin' on me?
The morn'
The morn'
The morn'
The morn' that I was born my old man beat up the doctor
He clocked the doctor 'cause the doctor said I looked like Chewbacca
The doctor said sir you're misled sir which infers you mistook me
I did not mean your lovely wife was shackin' up with a Wookiee
What I mean is Wolverine is less hairy than your son
He's looks like Chewie Baba Booey Baba Booey and a Hong Kong Phooey all in one
To put it mild your newborn child's completely nutty fufu lookin'
I'd shove him back into the oven until he is done cookin'
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
'Cause my fifteen-year-old cousin has less acne
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
Ain't brushed them teeth since 1983
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
'Cause you've got the grooming habits of a chimpanzee
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
'Cause you're white but got a nose like Bill Cosby
Why's everybody always pickin' on me?
Always pickin' and rippin' apart poor ol' Jimmy Pop Ali
I got a schnoz like the Cos but there's a lot more wrong with you
So back me up Bill yeah and you're ugly too
So what if I brush my teeth with a piece of cheddar cheese
Or wear a fishnet shirt by Chams with my Sergio Valenti jeans
And my mirror never lies but it always verifies
I got more cheese and pepperoni than a homemade pizza pie
You compare me to a Monchichi but I don't understand
Why I'm scorned like I'm deformed like the Elephant Man
And yeah I took my mom to the prom but hey she asked me first
But at least this time I didn't find my date in the back of a hearse
About as popular with the girls as Englebert Humperdinck
And that might be 'cause everybody calls me Shrinky Dink
I know I'm known as Polaroid I'm not a total retard
It's 'cause I'm done in sixty seconds and you'll still want it enlarged
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
'Cause you wore velour flares until the late Eighties
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
'Cause you run like a girl and you sit down to pee
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
'Cause your only school chum was the lunch lady
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
You took your mom to the prom but got lucky
Like that episode where Gilligan gets sick of being teased
And he breaks into the Professor's lab and makes some L.S.D.
Peaks freaks and eats the Skipper's brains then beats Ginger with coconuts
As Mr. Howell and Lovey burn alive inside of their grass hut
Oh he'll kill again that Gilligan they should have let him be
And like a postal clerk I'll go berserk if you don't stop teasin' me
See the trick is only pick on those that can't do you no harm
Like the drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
The drummer from Def Leppard's only got one arm
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
'Cause my fifteen-year-old cousin has less acne
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
Ain't brushed them teeth since 1983
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
'Cause you've got the grooming habits of a chimpanzee
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
'Cause you're white but got a nose like Bill Cosby

'Cause you wore velour flares until the late Eighties
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
'Cause you run like a girl and you sit down to pee
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
'Cause your only school chum was the lunch lady
But why's everybody always pickin' on me?
'Cause no one likes you monkey boy
