Imagine stepping into a groovy time warp where bell bottoms ruled, disco was king, and Randy Watson—the unforgettable lead singer of “Sexual Chocolate” from Coming to America—wasn’t just a hilarious figment of Eddie Murphy’s comedic genius. What if Randy Watson was a bona fide recording artist back in 1977? The thought alone might bring a smile, or an eye roll, but hold onto your microphones, because it’s not just a fantasy anymore.
Introducing “Randy’s Boogie Woogie, Baby!”—a single that sounds exactly as gloriously terrible as you’d expect from the man who gave us Sexual Chocolate’s painfully earnest “Greatest Love of All” performance. Thanks to the wonders of AI and a deep understanding of the character, this song has been brought to life, and now you don’t have to imagine it; you can actually listen to it!
“Randy’s Boogie Woogie, Baby!” might just be the track that could have stormed the charts…or at least gotten some play at a few local bars near Queens. Created with a blend of 70s funk, a dash of disco flair, and a whole lot of Randy Watson’s signature style (think overly ambitious vocal riffs and a confidence that far exceeds the actual musical talent), the song is a masterpiece of nostalgia and novelty.
But why create this track now? It’s all about the love for nostalgia, a tribute to a character who has remained a beloved part of pop culture. Randy Watson, though a small part in Coming to America, left an indelible mark with his unique blend of sincerity and lack of self-awareness. His performance is something fans of the movie love to quote and laugh about, and now, they can hear what it might have been like if Randy had actually had a shot at a music career.

Whether you end up loving or cringing at the track, one thing is for sure: Randy Watson has never been more real, or more spectacularly funky. This song isn’t just a throwback—it’s a time capsule, a what-if that we never knew we needed, until now!
