While I'm talking about this I might as well mention that the KLF's "White Room" was a masterpiece of dance back in the day. I love the story of the guy's who formed this group. If you ever get a chance, read their wiki page.
I didn't have time to read their entire page, just the paragraph at the top. Those guys were more badass than I ever could've imagined. As I got into pop music in the spring of '92, one of the songs from earlier that year that I missed, which ended up toward the bottom of Casey Kasem's Top 100 for the year, was their duet with Tammy Wynette, "Justified and Ancient." (I think it was #97.) I just now learned how that song title tied into their earlier work. It wasn't until a couple years ago when I found a bunch of Eurodance mp3s I wanted on this blog-made compilation that I downloaded, that I discovered I knew the KLF's "3 a.m. Eternal" all along. It was a recurrent that got tons of airplay on my pop station in '92 (and I'm sure I've heard it here and there over the years elsewhere). I never realized I never bothered to question what the song was. After 7's "Can't Stop" was another song like that, which I didn't realize I knew all along until a couple years ago. Marcia Griffiths' "Electric Boogie" was another one. I digress.
The third [Snap album] was not very well known mostly because the sound changed dramatically to world and trance sounds...
I'll have to sample some of that, then, because that's fascinating.
I'll never forget me and my brother going into a hick pub and playing Snoop's Gin and Juice on the jukebox and feeling like everyone was staring at us for playing it...thought we might have to fight our way out....
:)
I'm now feeling I need a night with the 90's music, a little New Jack Swing at my nuts.....(that's trivia, name that tune)
I assume you mean "And you can New Jack Swing on my nuts," which is probably a reference to the Ice Cube sample in Tony! Toni! Toné!'s "If I Had No Loot." The Ice Cube song the line was taken from, though, is "The Wrong N**** to F*** Wit."
