Where were you in 1986?
In the all night discos in New York City?
Combing through the 12” DJ dance bins at a record store in Holland?
Going out to “get lucky” on Ladies Night at the Last Hurrah in Portland OR?
Listening to “Voice of America” in a remote jungle in mainland China?
Whether you were listening to the radio in a small Pacific NW town, or shaking your booty in a big city disco, from coast to coast, Europe to Asia, you could hear the song that took the world by storm and introduced the band NU SHOOZ to music lovers everywhere. “I Can’t Wait,” went to #3 on the Billboard Pop Chart, and top five in most of the civilized world. The group had two more hits, “Point of No Return,” (#28 in 1987,) and “Should I Say Yes?”. (#41 in 1988)
I Can’t Wait is still being played on the radio somewhere on earth every 11 minutes. The bass-line shows up in NBA games, and there are You-tube videos of people singing along to it. Whether you’re hearing it for the first time on your iPod, or you danced to it during the Reagan era, these Shooz just get more comfortable with time.
