I'm not really sure what to say about this one - I just wanted to start a thread about it.

I suppose I could say how I never knew the name of the song or artist until an hour or 2 ago. It's that one that goes "At night I think of you, I want to be your lady baby, if your game is strong give me a call boo" and I forgot the rest.

great song. i just put on So So Def Bass Allstars II to listen to it. it's amazing HOW MANY songs used that same Kraftwerk drum pattern

Jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 23 September 2005 04:35 (twenty years ago)

it does seem like a familiar drum pattern. what are a few of these songs?

billstevejim (billstevejim), Friday, 23 September 2005 04:39 (twenty years ago)

THE ENTIRE GENRE OF ELECTRO!

i wasn't going to return to bed until i could think of at least one song that fits, and i just miraculously thought of "Give It To You" by Jordan Knight, so i can sleep now and try again tomorrow.

T/S: "My Boo" vs "Shorty Swing My Way"

Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Friday, 23 September 2005 13:24 (twenty years ago)

"Swing My Way" >> "Love You Down" > "My Boo"

All are great, obv.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Friday, 23 September 2005 15:23 (twenty years ago)

Bill OTM.

Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Friday, 23 September 2005 15:26 (twenty years ago)

Love all of those, but my favorite in this vein is Mo Thugs - "It's All Good"!

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 September 2005 16:00 (twenty years ago)

I've always felt these were all proto-2-step.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 September 2005 16:01 (twenty years ago)

the 2-step remix of "swing my way" pwns

Spencer, was it you that posted Teedra Moses' "Be Your Girl"? I found a really nice UKG mix of it here:

It's the second choon of the first downloadable DJ set.

Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Friday, 23 September 2005 16:17 (twenty years ago)

Mo Thugs - "It's All Good"!

oh shit, is this that "yup, yup, it's all, g-double-o-d good" song?

Haven't thought about that in ages.

The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Friday, 23 September 2005 16:29 (twenty years ago)

Yup.

Also, Tantrum thanks! I love the Baltimore club remix of "Be Your Girl" so much.

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 23 September 2005 17:47 (twenty years ago)

all three so so def CDs are totally worth it.

deej.., Friday, 23 September 2005 18:05 (twenty years ago)

Ghost Twon DJ's is pretty much Rodney "Kool Kollie" Terry, who is a legend in Miami Bass circles as the first producer for MC Shy D back in 1985. He's the guy at the beginning of "Gotta Be Tough" introducing Shy D, from what I've been told.

Despite my love for Kool Kollie, Shy D, and Miami Bass History (Atlanta and otherwise), I hate this song and evrything connected to it.

"my boo" is one of my favourite songs ever, and the lineage which takes in it, "shorty swing my way", "never leave you" and "delirious" is one to treasure

took me AGES to notice the really obvious sample in that omar-s track

Somehow I only learned in the past 24 hours that the original 12" had an amazing slow jam mix by Lil Jon.

it's a strange new world

De La Soul is no Major Lazer (ulysses), Friday, 3 June 2016 20:27 (ten years ago)

Just like anything else it will get old and lame when old white politicians jump on board but I love the grassroots nature of how it started.

Spottie, Friday, 3 June 2016 20:43 (ten years ago)

I think it's already old and lame unfortunately; passed several old wites on the street doing this in BK in past weeks and this is from mid-May

my favorite old and lame variation recently was when the national spelling bee did it

This whole thing just makes me feel pedantic about what the "running man" is. It will always be the circa-1990 running man to me.

Hey (Extended Mix), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 21:51 (ten years ago)

gotta admit i kinda hate on this whole thing because they dance to a '90s song and call the dance "the running man" but it's not remotely the same dance that people called "the running man" in the '90s

running man 2: still running, man

6 god none the richer (m bison), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 22:00 (ten years ago)

i love this song, im glad its getting some love 20 years later. anyone notice the "isnt she lovely" melody in the verses?

6 god none the richer (m bison), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 22:01 (ten years ago)

what i always wonder is whether "My Boo" influenced Janet's "I Get So Lonely"

Dierks Bentley's Holistic Detective Agency (some dude), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 22:08 (ten years ago)

huh, I've always thought of "I Get Lonely" mostly as a "One in a Million" x "Any Time, Any Place" derivative, but I guess there could be a pinch of "My Boo" in it too

Hey (Extended Mix), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 22:13 (ten years ago)

the melodies just always remind me of each other, if i hear one i think of the other

Dierks Bentley's Holistic Detective Agency (some dude), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 22:13 (ten years ago)

i hate that this has become a meme and that it will now be thought of by sooooooo many ppl as "that song from the meme"

sexy dander (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 22:21 (ten years ago)

xxp jam & lewis' own "feel my bass mix" makes the nod explicit. seems to have been erased from the internet sadly

r|t|c, Wednesday, 8 June 2016 22:23 (ten years ago)

ALSO WHY ARE THEY DOING A DANCE CALLED "THE RUNNING MAN" THAT IS NOT THE RUNNING MAN

sexy dander (Stevie D(eux)), Wednesday, 8 June 2016 22:28 (ten years ago)

I am listening to that bass rmx and I still don't hear "My Boo" anywhere :(

Hey (Extended Mix), Thursday, 9 June 2016 00:10 (ten years ago)
