Salt-Nepa's Push It - International Hip Hop Success 1987
Salt-N-Pepa’s "Push It” was a hit dance tune that rose in popularity during its less-censored period due to its strong sensual innuendos. They were the Grammy Award-winning group of hip hop artists that have sold more than 1,000,000 copies of Push It.
History of The Song
It was the first time that "Push It," the original song, was made available as a B-side on the "Tramp" 12" single in 1987. Cameron Paul, San Francisco's DJ and producer of 7", released the corresponding single. The radio version was the one that brought the group their first mainstream hit. It was a Billboard Top 40 hit the week beginning December 26, 1987.
The single reached its peak position at number 19 by the end of the week, on February 20, 1988. As the UK's most-charting hit, it also ranks alongside "Let's Talk About Sex", both of which reached their peak in that country at number 2.
In 1986, Salt N-Pepa thought they were singing "Posh it, real Good" when in fact, they had actually been performing "Pow-y, really good", and the police waited to see them again after the show. They were required to provide the lyrics in writing to prove they were right.
The song uses a line taken from "You Really Got Me” by The Kinks. The words are replaced with the "boy" part of "Boy" and reads: "Boys, you really got my going/You got me so that I don't understand what I'm doing." Ray Davies got a songwriting credits for the song "Push It".
It also features "Pick Up on This" from James Brown's album, "I'm a Greedy Man", as well "There It Is", by James Brown. Coal Kitchen's 1977 record "Keep on Pushin," which features the whispered word "Pushit", is used as a sampling. This song is in the key minor of A.
Push It's nomination for a Grammy Award was a strong one. It catapulted Hot, Cool and Vicious back to platinum, with one-million copies. Salt-N-Pepa has become the first female rap collective or solo act to attain gold and/or platinum. This album was ultimately sold to 1.3 Million copies across the globe.
In 2009, Glee covered the song in its first season. It was sung on "Showmance", by Rachel Berry (Lea Michele), Finn Hudson ("Cory Monteith"), Artie Abrams (“Kevin McHale”) and other glee club members.
Chuck Versus Chuck, season 4, episode 4 (2011) featured this song. Ellie Bartowski, Sarah Lancaster's Ellie Bartowski portrays Ellie Bartowski as Clara Woodcomb. This scene shows Lester Patel performing the song with Jeffrey Barnes (played respectively by Scott Krinsky & Vik Sahay), while Jeffrey Barnes (played in the scene by Scott Krinsky) plays Jeffrey Barnes. Both of them sing the song while they are dressed in Salt-N-Pepa jackets.
The 2014 commercial featured the song with a feature cameo by Salt-N-Pepa. It was part of the "It’s What You Do” campaign.
The Big Bang Theory has used the song twice. In 2016, the song appeared on a season 9 episode. It featured Raj Koothrappali's character Leonard Hofstadter singing the song. Kunal Nayyar, Kunal Galecki, and Raj Koothrappali performing it at a party. This song was heard in 2018 episode 4, "Deutschland 86", when a griller listens while listening to it.
The theme song from the song was played on ABC U.S. television game show Supermarket Swap in 2020 hosted by Leslie Jones.
The Grammy Award-winning hiphop group, they sold more than 1,000,000 copies of Push It.
Push It" has become a classic in rap music history. It was also the first song to be released by female artists. It's obvious that everyone knows what this song means. It's about intimacy. In fact it's one of the first pop songs to extol bedroom fun, in the relatively pure 1980's.
Salt-N-Pepa views the song in a different way. They consider it a dance track. Sandra Denton from Pepa stated "it's just about having fun on the dance floor". This is supported by both the instrumental part and lyrics.
Some lyrics are ambiguous, though, and it is apparent that this was done intentionally. This can be seen to indicate that the rappers don't want to stop talking about having fun on the dance floor. You can see the track as encouraging intimacy between partners, because the repeated word "push IT" in the song is displayed throughout.
Salt-N-Pepa intended this track to be perceived as a song, and the video for it - which, again, was quite-risque in 1980s fashion - didn't really help.
It can be concluded that Push It "is a dance song with sensual nuendos. Salt-N–Pepa also embraced the understanding as they were able to achieve greatness.

IN HIP-HOP NOBODY KNOWS
Salt-N-Pepa's "PUSH IT" Featuring "HOW 'BOUT US" Champaign Lead Singer Pauli Carman
Voice Commemorated 45 Years After Debut
Story Behind The Most Recognizable Sample
The Band. The Myth. The Legend. What's Next.
January 18, 2022 - Las Vegas, NV. In an effort to commemorate the beautiful works of a legendary vocalist and original writers of the song, Keep On Pushin’, Johnie Tidwell Media has released a cinematic adaptation for the song. Keep On Pushin', originally composed by songwriters Pauli Carman and Rob Newhouse, is a b-side track by the funk-rock-n-soul band CoalKitchen recorded in 1977 for Full Moon/Epic. With its breathy lyrics, low bass licks, funky horns and echoed drum riffs, the creators of the song had never been given full recognition for its accomplishments until now, forty-five years after its debut. Johnie Tidwell Media is set to bring back to us, in all its funkiness and originality, a short film compiled with video footage from talented cinematographers/videographers from around the world for the song, Keep On Pushin’.
Pauli Carman, a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum recording artist, and lead vocalist of the r&b soul group Champaign and formerly of CoalKitchen, sings the lead vocal for the song Keep On Pushin’. He is also the lead vocalist on chart topping hits How 'Bout Us, Try Again, Off and On Love and Dial My Number. Carman has appeared on various TV shows, including, Soul Train, Solid Gold, and American Bandstand. Ten years after Keep On Pushin' was recorded, the soulful legendary voice of Pauli Carman was catapulted into the dance club & hip-hop music scene by way of music sampling and became one of the most recognizable loop samples in hip-hop history. During the recording of the song, the How ‘Bout Us crooner sang the famous lyrics, “Ah, push it,” which were whispered throughout the entire Grammy-nominated hip-hop anthem “Push it” from female hip-hop duo - Salt-N-Pepa in 1987. However, it is not public knowledge nor a well-known fact that the sampled whisper behind the international mega hit was indeed from the one and only balladeer, Pauli Carman.
As the entry of the track (Keep On Pushin’) itself says;
Believe in me today Remember me tomorrow
Cause time can slip away and leave us both in sorrow
