Miss Heard celebrates Season 7, Episode 358 with Cameo’s “Word Up” as we chart the meteoric rise of Cameo, the 14-piece army that weaponized funk and gave the world the iconic, red-codpiece-wearing anthem "Word Up!" But the groove didn’t stop in 1986, as we also dive into the song's wild 90s afterlives, including a headbanging Scottish rock reinvention and a futuristic Mel B cover that was deemed too hot for MTV daytime. From a Canadian cigarette pack to late-night censorship, discover how one unforgettable track became an immortal cultural artifact.
