E.G. Daily "Say It, Say It" (1986)
The chorus to this song has been in my head for years, but I couldn't remember anything else, the rest of the song or the person who sang it. I happened to be flipping through this month's Nylon Magazine and not only was it there but I found it this is Dottie from Pee Wee's Big Adventure, lol. Thanks to the power of the internets I went on youtube and grabbed it. Its a great video too so I wanted to share. This is 24 years old, unbelievable!!!

T-Boz "Touch Myself" (1996)
I was having a conversation with a friend about the songs we used to listen to in high school and how we still turned out to be responsible law abiding citizens and avoided teenage pregnancy or STDs. I thought about this song right here, I never understood what it had to do with the movie "Fled" but I used to blast it, mainly because I just liked song (the beat, the melody, TLC fanatic) even while not fully understanding at the time what the hell T-Boz was singing about, lol.
