"Hum Along and Dance" is a soul song written for the Motown label by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong.
In fact, on the Psychedelic Shack album, "Hum Along and Dance" leads directly into "Take a Stroll Through Your Mind", an eight-minute ode to marijuana use.
Lead singer Pete Rivera offers an excuse for the lack of lyrics ("you see, we didn't have time to write none") and urges to the listener to "get it!"
His bandmate and brother Tito Jackson replies, as he has been doing throughout the song, by reiterating Gil Bridges' reasoning: "we ain't have time to write none".
An alternate "uncut" longer version of the song appears as a bonus track on the 2004 twofer CD of "Joyful Jukebox Music/Boogie".
