About Troglodyte (Cave Man)

"Troglodyte (Cave Man)", originally released as "Troglodite", is a 1972 funk song by The Jimmy Castor Bunch. In the USA, it peaked at #4 on the R&B charts and #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. Billboard ranked it as the No. 80 song for 1972. The song, especially the intro "What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time", has been heavily sampled in hip-hop music and dance music. A character introduced in the song, Bertha Butt ("one of the Butt Sisters"), was featured in many later Castor Bunch songs, including "The Bertha Butt Boogie" (1975). The song sold over half-a-million copies, and has been certified gold by the RIAA. It charted even better in Canada, where it got to #1 on the singles chart for two weeks. more »
