Operator ‎(12", Promo). Amongst those tunes was a vicious cut by Midnight Star. With the possible exception of Newcleus' 'Jam On It', there is no other tune that I would associate more with funky 80's underground than 'Operator'. Originally released at the absolute peak of electrofunk in the 80s, this track contains every nostalgic idiosyncrosy you'd ever want: sparkling sci-fi synths, monster bass line, phat drum track, not to mention a marvellous vocoder and rap verse.

This song is by Midnight Star and appears on the album Planetary Invasion (1984) and on the compilation Old School Funk (1996). Would someone please hang that phone up?! Operate that body, operate on meOperate that body, take control of meOperate that body, operate on meTake control of my body, take control of me. I call my baby up on the telephoneI got connected to a freaky zoneThe conversation was strictly voidSaid if you don't join the party, go home.

Artist: Midnight Star. Album: Freak-A-Zoid, No Parking (On The Dance Floor) - Single, 1995.

The operator said, this was no mistake I been connecting every move you make I hope you're ready to think right I'm gonna operate my love tonight. Operator, this is an emergency Operator, baby, burning up on me Operator, this is an emergency Operator. Operate that body, operate on me Operate that body, take control of me Operate that body, operate on me Take control of that body, take control of me. Person to person is how it's got to be Just one on one, baby, you and me Computer freaking all night long And you can bet that all my circuits are strong
