'Point Of No Return' is one of the greatest singles ever recorded.

"You know I love you
Even if you don't drive"

I Can't Wait came into my head today apropos of nothing

so good

i never knew who sang it before even though i've seemingly heard it millions of times. for some reason i thought it was taylor dane or some such

1986 was a great year for green screens.

But mostly I'm posting this nu shooz video here so that I can tell myself that

YOU FORGOT TO PUT A SEARCH TERM IN THE QUOTES.

I've wanted to start:

Taking Sides: Nu Shooz's "I Can't Wait" vs Stevie Nicks' "I Can't Wait," both on the chart at the same time.

How we went from the defiant "I Can't Wait"s of the 80s to the well "I Don't Want To Wait" I guess of the 90s.

now it's all

This is ripe for a refresh. Seems like a shoo-in (see what I did there?) for 2015's pop not pop charts.

"I Can't Wait", that is.

I've been enjoying that song a lot lately.

I Can't Wait was an especially big deal on the radio in the Pacific Northwest. I remember hearing it all the time for much longer than it was a hit nationally. It has held up well over the years.

So both "I Can't Wait" and "Point of no Return" either shared the chart or appeared on the charts within the year of 2 other tunes with the same name, all great. Stevie Nix and Expose, respectively. Pretty cool. Kinda like the big "Jump" situation in, uh, '84?

Or the big "Creep" explosion of 1993-94.

And 'Alright' in the UK in the mid-90s.

This album is awesome.
