The song references:-:
"Mashed Potatoes" is probably "Mashed Potato Time" by Dee Dee Sharp
"I Know" - there are dozens of songs by this name - I would hazard a guess it's either the Ike & Tina Turner song, or perhaps the BB King one
"Soul Twist" is of course the King Curtis tune
They're dancing to the music on the radio because the homeowner can't afford his own stereo (this is In Tha Geto, remember!)
"Party time" radio shows were part of the musical furniture in the '50s and '60s - Santana first heard the original of "Oye Como Va" on a radio show just like that!
Originally a Sam Cooke song
