Frankie Smith, Yo Yo champ: ‘Double Dutch Bus’ and the roots of “fo shizzle ma nizzle”
08.10.2010
Frankie Smith is best known for his song ‘Double Dutch Bus’ recorded in 1981. In the song, Smith created a new style of hip-hop slang that became a big part of the music’s culture.
By putting “iz” in the middle of a word or replacing trailing syllables with “-izzle,” Smith arrived at a funky form of nonsense that was quickly absorbed into rap’s vernacular.
Snoop Dogg took it to the next level.
In addition to recording his own songs, Smith wrote tunes for The Spinners, Archie Bell and the Drells, The O’Jays and Billy Paul.
But, ‘Double Dutch Bus’ was his most significant achievement. Without Smith, there’d be no “fo shizzle ma nizzle.”
One of Smith’s lesser known talents was as a yo yo master. After the success of ‘Double Dutch Bus’, Frankie went looking for the next big thing, and he thought the idea of combining yo yos with disco music was the ticket.
In 1982, he recorded ‘Yo Yo Champ.’ It did not set the world on fire, but he managed to get some TV appearances out of the deal.
One of which is included here.
The ‘Double Dutch Bus’ video is the only official video made for the song.
Ironically, it was made for Dutch television. (what a stupid fuck is Marc Campbell.)

Juan Pardo - No Me Hables with Gogo-Tänzers
If you've not seen this video, prepare yourself to be transported into a world of yellow and purple stars Mexican Songs, Spanish Lyrics, and German Gogo-Tanzers...Seriously, if this video had a few less views on it, I'd steal it back from the current guy (i had it on my first channel). But I've got something better. I know about the Go-Go Girls, and I know where to find their videos. And I've already found a couple that you won't believe.
a few of you may have seen this, the cheesiest video of all time, but NOW I know who the dancers are: take a look at my 'Gimme Some More' Video with The Go Go Girls...
Frankie Smith Yo Yo Champ + Go Go Girls!
The Go Go - Girls at the "Store" - what happened to them ...?I have this day again inveigled a few episodes of the music store and it did not also (silently k) Necked GoGo-Girls of the show.
I've always wondered who made careers elsewhere and what has become of them.
Maybe someone here that can help give the best.
Veeery, veeery good question! As I grope in the dark quite well.
The only thing that promotes the Web to light is that one of the Gogos, Angelica Henry was called and admire in November 83 in the Playboy.
Which he were speaking - no idea at that time I was twelve and did not yet know where Dad puts collection ... ;-)
So ... now I'm a little smarter
