Yesterday was Miss Patti Patti’s birthday so I had to find a jam to celebrate. Obviously she had a lot of hits before this one, but I think when this song came out I was old enough to know it was out and who it was by. Basically, I just remember being in the car on the way home from the bowling alley when it would come on and my parents would turn up the radio. Every single time. Because everybody loves Miss Patti Patti. And she did her good singing on this song too.
(and she still has the best black person nosejob in all of the entertainment industry)
Wait, why don’t I own this? Y’all know Chilli is my spirit animal (but a more Relevant and Talented version, clearly). I love how T-Boz and Left Eye are smiling but Chilli is giving you full pout and smize. These doll makers knew what time it was.
This is still my favorite Janet Era. The hair, the abs, the clothes, the boobs, the album. Everything was on point. Ask me if I still know all the words to this and the choreography. Yes. Yes I do.
No Doubt to release first album in a decade in September By Piya Sinha-Roy Reuters 5:10 p.m. CDT, May 7, 2012
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California pop-rock band No Doubt will be making their long-anticipated return to music this September with a new album on September 25, the band said on their website over the weekend.
The group, formed of lead singer Gwen Stefani, guitarist Tom Dumont, bassist Tony Kanal and drummer Adrian Young, will be release their first record in more than a decade following 2001’s “Rock Steady.” (cont.)
YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wayment, hollup……why is everybody so excited? Did we all forget that they weren’t that great?
The lead singer should become a star if they go solo, right? Diana Ross…Justin Timberlake…Patti LaBelle…Beyonce…so why didn’t it work for T-Boz?
Because she was making music like this. I’m not saying you can’t make a hit singing about masturbation (::ahem:: Tweet’s one song) but this song is kinda awful. I love that it exists though! The whole thing just makes me go “ooo this is bad and ridiculous…I’m mad everybody involved thought this was poppin.”
Watch this video.
