Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam w/ FF "I Wonder If I Take You Home"

[Deleted]

This was Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam's breakthrough hit. It's my favorite by them. It's got a great beat and a killer hook.

Hot 100: #34
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks: #6
Hot Dance Music/Club Play: #1

..because I need you tonight....

JAM!

This is a great track! It does have a great hook. And Lisa's vocals were great. I don't like how the Black Eyed Peas (ab)used this in their latest song "Don't Phunk With My Heart".

The Wicked Mix was really good.

[A Thug Named Slickback]

Junior MAFIA used this for their song "I Need You Tonight." It had Aaliyah singing the hook; that was the jam.

[Me. I Am Justin...]

I love it!! A JAM!!

Been a long time since I heard this. From what I remember, not too bad.

I would consider "All Cried Out" as Lisa Lisa's breakthrough hit.

[Pet Shop Boy]

One of my favourite pop/dance songs ever.

[MikeCheck12]

Great track!! And this has been sampled over and over and over again.....

[imbondz]

Freestyle jam!

[joker]

Definitely a fan. Good song, as is most of Lisa Lisa's stuff.

[busyboy]

Amazing track, I could listen to it over and over.

[Verisimilitude]

Great song. I love the tagline to this song... it was even used in one of the Black Eyed Peas' only decent songs.

[dth1971]

This didn't make the R&R chart.

[Soulsista]

"All Cried Out" could be considered the sequel to this song. She took him home and wound up regretting it.



I also liked the follow-up, "Can You Feel The Beat".

[Agent Yoncé]

Sick production for 'IWIITYH'. I hate the original version of 'All Cried Out' Allure & 112 made it their own.

[B-Boy]

I love it.

[Glove Slap]

Fantastic track, their best imo.

[HolidayGuy]

Classic 80s freestyle.

[Dammn Baby]

This is a classic.

Very true! Classic, freestyle bop!

One of the best 80s freestyle records although I do consider "Can You Feel The Beat" as their best song.  I remember hearing this as an 80s flashback on the radio, probably on B96 since they often played Lisa Lisa's 80s hits as flashbacks, such as the aforementioned "Can You Feel The Beat".

#336 on Billboard's 500 Greatest Pop Songs

You Know What It Is: An early freestyle standard-setter, built around the heart-piercing title question worthy of a ’60s girl-group classic: “I wonder if I take you home/ Would you still be in love baby?”

These Words: Lisa Lisa’s fear and frustration is palpable throughout the whole song, but nowhere more than in the second verse, where she promises she’s not just teasing and pleads, “Don’t let your feelings fade/ ‘Cause you will have me and sooner than you know it/ If you could only wait.” You just know the guy’s gonna end up letting her down one way or the other.

Coming Around Again: Fergie borrowed the song’s hook for the Black Eyed Peas’ significantly less touching (but significantly more commercially successful) 2005 hit “Don’t Phunk With My Heart.”
