"Joystick" is a 1983 hit single by the Dazz Band, their second biggest hit of three Top 100 singles, reaching #61 on the Hot 100 and #9 on the Black Singles Chart. Co-written by the singer and guitarist of the group, the title of the song is double entendre for the male phallus. The band adopted hip-hop production techniques, favoring keyboards and drum machines over horns, echoing the popularity of the electro-funk style. The single became a dancefloor favorite following its release.

This song can be heard in the arcade game compilation Namco Museum 50th Anniversary Arcade Collection.
