And it continues to fit that description now. At the time, the track was one of the very first go-go tunes to get airplay beyond D.C. In the near quarter century since the voice of EU vocalist Sugar Bear blasted out of speakers in Cleveland and Los Angeles and D.C. itself, no other go-go track has even come close to the late Reagan-era ubiquity of“Da Butt.”

So what was it about that tune? As it happens, “Da Butt” wasn’t created in the way go-go is typically created, wasn’t entirely written by go-go musicians, and wasn’t even recorded in the District. To some critics, all of this means go-go’s greatest hit wasn’t actually go-go at all. Those academic arguments, though, are a bit late: The song has moved from movie screen and radio to clubs, parties, weddings, bar mitzvahs, talent shows, and sporting events. And yeah, they still play it in the go-go, too.
Everyone from disgraced local politicians to Republican presidential daughters have fallen under the spell of “Da Butt” at one time or another: Felonious D.C.Wholesale Atlanta Braves Hats Councilmember Harry Thomas Jr. danced to it at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver; Bush family wild child Jenna Bush reportedly shook her booty to it at a bachelorette party a few years earlier.

In the spring of 1987, D.C. go-go band Experience Unlimited traveled to New York to record “Da Butt,” a song commissioned by director Spike Lee for the film School Daze. At the time, the members of the group weren’t convinced the song would yield anything more than a paycheck and a trip to New York.

The track and the film were released the following year. In April 1988, 24 years ago this month, “Da Butt” reached No. 1 on the Billboard R&B charts.

The comedian, who turns 50 next month, has settled down into a respectable career behind the scenes, helming “Jimmy Kimmel Live” for nearly three years and making dark, thought-provoking films, including 2009′s “World’s Greatest Dad,” which featured one of Robin Williams’ strongest performances, and “God Bless America,” a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde adventure.

Goldthwait talked earlier this month about his change in behavior, an upcoming collaboration with the Kinks’ Ray Davies and why he has an amazing collection of hats.

Q. You said in 2005 that you were retiring from stand-up. Was that a joke?Wholesale MLB Snapback Hats
A. I retired like Cher and KISS retire. I still like going out there, but I’m not doing my ’80s persona anymore. It became more and more limiting. I’m just myself. If I lose some fans because of that, it’s OK. I do try to defuse the situation early in my act. One of my favorite new jokes is that they’re going to reboot the “Police Academy” series like they did with “21 Jump Street,” except this time it’s going to be a comedy.
Q. You could easily have been remembered for just doing a puppet on “Unhappily Ever After” and being the guy from “Police Academy.” Instead, you’ve turned into a respected filmmaker. Was that always the plan?

A. I super-enjoyed my time there. When I was a boy, I was a janitor at my high school and worked in a grocery store, but as an adult, I never had a steady day job. It was great seeing the same people every day. The one thing I learned is the ability to make decisions really quickly.Wholesale caps and hats
Q. You have an amazing collection of hats. Is there a story behind that?
A. Funny, I just stored 100 of them in my garage. One of the reasons, of course, was that I was going bald. But I also wore a different hat to “Kimmel” every night. If you’re wearing a silly hat, it’s hard to lose your temper. You don’t take yourself too seriously.
Q. Do you think you’ll ever be invited back on “The Tonight Show”?

A. You know, people think I was banned. I was banned as much as Ricky Gervais was from the Golden Globes. I was actually on a week after it (the fire) happened. I think I’d be back on if they thought I was famous enough. I’m not anymore.

A. No. It took me a long time to find what I enjoy doing the most before I got sidetracked. I was getting involved in movies and projects that didn’t interest me. I’m partially to blame because I was saying yes to everything. What I’m doing now isn’t as lucrative, but it’s easier for me to sleep at night.

Q. Your latest film stars Joel Murray, a respected character actor, but not exactly a household name. Is there pressure from investors to call up your buddy Robin Williams when it comes to casting?
A. No. The guys who finance my movies believe in me and let me do what I want to do. They’re very, very low-budget films. It’s not like they lend themselves to be filmed in 3-D.
