"Rockit" is a hit song recorded by Herbie Hancock. It was released as a single from his 1983 album Future Shock. The song was written by Hancock, bass guitarist Bill Laswell and synthesizer/drum machine programmer Michael Beinhorn.Constructed and composed during the recording process at various studios, including Martin Bisi's in Brooklyn NY, "Rockit" was perhaps the first popular single to feature scratching and other turntablist techniques, performed by Grand Mixer D.ST - an influential DJ in the early years of turntablism - using turntables as a musical instrument. Many later turntablists have cited "Rockit" as revelatory, inspiring their interest in the instrument.The single was a major radio hit in the United Kingdom but more of an underground hit in the United States. The humorous music video, directed by duo Godley & Creme and featuring robot-like sculptures (by Jim Whiting) moving in time to the music, was among the earliest videos to feature African Americans on MTV and garnered five MTV Video Music Awards in 1984, including Best Concept Video and Best Special Effects. Hancock himself appears and plays keyboard only as an image on a television, which is smashed on the sidewalk in the closing shot.In 1985 at the Grammy Awards, Hancock performed "Rockit" in a synthesizer jam which also featured Thomas Dolby, Howard Jones and Stevie Wonder.In 1986 it was featured in the Soviet film The Courier alongside a hip hop dance sequence making it one of the songs to introduce hip-hop to the USSR. The song was later remixed by V-Video, an early Russian video company, to be played with its logo.It is also featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and is included in its soundtrack box-set. The song was also used in the movies Zoolander and Kickin' It Old Skool. It is also used in the video game NBA Street: Homecourt when a gamebreaker move is activated. A remix of "Rockit" is one of the playable songs in the PlayStation 2 game Amplitude. It also appears in The Simpsons episode Treehouse of Horror XVI."Rockit" lends its name to a range of vintage stores in London, as well as a Toronto music venue."Rockit" has also been featured in numerous commercials.The comedian-pundit Stephen Colbert has used 'Rockit' on his television show The Colbert Report, usually in conjunction with a video of conservative radio broadcaster Rush Limbaugh mocking the involuntary convulsions of Parkinson's sufferer Michael J. Fox.

My name is Federico Arango and I created this video to advertise the "Homecoming Dance" for my school; John A. Ferguson Senior High School during the 2007-2008 school year. This video stars Damario Major as the kid who really loves dancing and wants people to come to the dance. Damario's performance and acting and the way he moved and spoke and sometimes screamed was all created by him and he decided to act that way to really bring forth the excitement of the event. We had to shoot the beginning scene about 3 to 4 times because the camera was giving us problems. The music was also provided by Damario. As a result of airing this video on the school's television program, Damario Major became known as Mr. Dollars. The girl with the blond hair is Cindy Reyes, one of the Reporters for FBN News (our school television program) she will be on many more of my videos here on You Tube reporting on different topics. This video is dedicated to all the students of John A. Ferguson Senior High School where; "No Goal's Too High Where Falcon's Fly"
