(Nothing Serious) Just Buggin’

Whistle

“(Nothing Serious) Just Buggin’’” is an electro-rap song by Brooklyn trio Whistle that became one of the most popular crossover hip-hop hits of the mid-’80s. The song’s whimsical mix of goofy pickup lines and synthesizer interpolations of popular melodies (including the “Green Acres” theme song) helped it break into the top 20 on Billboard’s R&B songs chart.

Whistle—which consisted of rappers Jazzy Jazz and Kool Doobie, along with DJ Silver Spinner, at the time—was affiliated with the group UTFO. “Just Buggin’” was produced and co-written by UTFO’s Kangol Kid, along with up-and-coming producer Howie Tee, who later found major success with Chubb Rock and Color Me Badd.
