Late 80s/Early 90s Dance Party!
June 29, 2008 by felipebeachHow’s your morning going? Tough to come back after the weekend? Got a case of the Mondays? Then journey back with me to a simpler time, and get ready to groove along with some great late 80s/early 90s hip-hop/rap classics (the soundtrack of my 7th-9th grade years). Warn your co-workers, ’cause you will be laughing/doing the Sprinkler/wondering who all the guys with the funny hair are.
(My apologies for the content in some of the videos, which really doesn’t fit in with what I’m trying to do with this site. Turns out the soundtrack to my early adolescence wasn’t quite as wholesome as I remember it being. Flip your mental content filters on, and just enjoy the grooves…)
********
Baby, Don’t Forget My Number (Milli Vanilli) (OK, now if you enjoyed that first song, please leave now. You’re not welcome at my site. And you won’t enjoy the rest of the Dance Party…)
Jump Around (House of Pain) Ah, that’s more like it. Now, get out yo seat and jump around!
Bust a Move (Young MC) You got no money, and you got no car, you got no woman, and there you are.
Warm It Up (Kriss Kross) A tough call between this and “Jump,” but I chose to warm it up, cuz that’s what I was born to do. (apologies for the lame video, the real one wouldn’t link)
Groove Is In the Heart (Dee Lite) I have just nothing to say about this one…
Mama Said Knock You Out (LL Cool J) Well, no. My mom didn’t say that. She says hi.
Just a Friend (Biz Markie) A slower one, to give you a bit of a breather here. Go get your Jolt Cola topped off, and get ready for the big finale.
Poison (Bell Biv Devoe) Now we’re talking! A virtual museum of late 80s/early 90s hair and clothes. Awesome.
(and accompanying clip from “Scrubs.” (”He’s gonna be trouble.” “I know…but he’s so damn delicate.”)
Baby Got Book (Southpaw) (Normally, any good 80s/90s dance party mix would have some Sir Mix-A-Lot. But, you know, I’m trying to run a family site here, so we’ll go with something much, much better. “And, if you’re Catholic, there’s even more…”)

Alright, enough dancing. Back to work.
