"Open Sesame" is a song recorded by Kool & the Gang for their 1976 eponymous studio album.

The song first appeared on the group's 1976 studio album Open Sesame, and was subsequently included on the soundtrack to the 1977 feature film Saturday Night Fever.

[1][4][5] Stephen M. Deusner of Pitchfork wrote "'Open Sesame' doesn't rank among Kool & the Gang's absolute best cuts, but its silly vocals and breakneck horns are nevertheless impressive.

"[6] Tyler Golsen of Far Out also declared "'Open Sesame' is a solid addition to the disco canon from some of the masters of the genre.

"[7] "Open Sesame" has been sampled on "L.A., L.A." by Capone-N-Noreaga featuring Tragedy Khadafi and Mobb Deep from the duo's 1997 studio album The War Report.
