I didn’t buy it because it was a gift but this was still my first cassette. It’s one of the few gifts I ever got from my father, which also included a ‘new’ boombox that was speckled with white paint. I rocked the shit outta that cassette though.

It came as part of my 1st Columbia House set of CDs. Good times.

Easy to underestimate the huge cultural importance of this jam right here

I was in a class that was basically AV club when this song first came out, we dj’d all of the dances and we played this song at least twice each dance, and it still would be requested.
