"School Boy Crush" is a song from Average White Band's 1975 album, Cut the Cake.
The song resonates and is very similar to Sly and the Family Stone's "Thank you for Letting Me Be Myself" in both chords and rhythm from the beginning of the song which it, arguably, heavily sampled.
In turn, it has been heavily sampled in hip hop, rap and R&B songs such as:.[1]
