Song
B-side"I Promise to Remember"

"Troglodyte (Cave Man)", originally released as "Troglodite",[2] is a 1972 funk song by the Jimmy Castor Bunch. In the USA, it peaked at #4 on the R&B charts and #6 on the Billboard Hot 100.[3] The song, especially the intro "What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time", has been heavily sampled in hip-hop music and dance music.[4][unreliable source?]

The song is noted for Castor's repeated lines "Gotta find a woman" and "Sock it to me".

A character introduced in the song, Bertha Butt ("one of the Butt Sisters"), was featured in many later Castor Bunch songs, including "The Bertha Butt Boogie" (1975).

The song is noted[who?] for its repeated falsetto line: "I'll Sock it to Ya, Daddy!!", heard before in the song's fade of the "Bertha Butt Boogie".

The song sold over half-a-million copies, and has been certified gold by the RIAA[1]
