total recall!
I love arranging these Flashback! Party Sequence posts so much it’s a shame that I can’t get myself to do it regularly. In previous throwbacks we’ve heard from Coolio, Boys II Men, Baby Bash, Blackstreet, Ginuwine, etc…so put down the Girl Talk because here’s a new batch of tunes for you DJs to say, “hey, i should put this in my set.” Welcome to my sixteenth installment, see you on the other side.
4 Non Blondes will forever be a bar band, “What’s Up” being the tune that some tipsy hipster drops 4 true quarters on. Thankfully, that hipster has dope taste…at least better than this George Clinton ‘do that Linda Perry has going on – but with a voice like that who gives a shit! Ironically 4NB founding guitarist, Shaunna Hall, became an official member of George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic in 2007. Everytime I hear this tune I can’t help but sing-a-long to one of the more tasteful throwbacks in my repertoire.
A Goofy Movie was one of my favorite films growing up and a large part of that was for the precise song. Powerline’s “Eye To Eye” is undoubtedly paying homage to Michael Jackson and is one of the most successful examples of this next to the Simpson’s “Happy Birthday Lisa.” If this song wasn’t a part of your childhood then I am deeply sorry, especially for your absence of Pauly Shore.
Trio’s “Da Da Da” was one of my favorite songs on the radio during the ages of 3 through 10 and you know what, it still would be if DJs played more than Billboard’s top100. Goes from the most boring to confusing video ever at the 1:22 mark, killing the waitress will never kill the jam!
