The Gap Band II is the fourth studio album by
the Gap Band, released in 1979 on
Mercury Records. It is their second major label release, and produced by Lonnie Simmons.
The album established the Gap Band as leaders in the R&B market, becoming their first
gold album, selling over 500,000 copies through 1980. The album's most successful track, "I Don't Believe You Want to Get up and Dance (Oops!)", was their first to incorporate aspects of the
P-Funk sound. The song also alludes to a well-known corruption of the childhood nursery rhyme,
Jack and Jill (a pattern later continued on "
Humpin'").
