I am not really big into music right now as my kids usually fill the car with enough noise...why add more? I couldn't tell you any song topping the charts at the moment. However, when I was in high school and college I enjoyed listening to the radio and CDs. We had one of those cool intercom systems at home that played songs from the radio and my parents used to love turning that on while we were cleaning up or working in the yard on the weekends. (By the way, how is 1996 considered "way back"????)

My 1996ish self...and my little friend - before Panama and Mama

I sat down today and wrote down 7 songs for the next seven days of this challenge. They are a pretty interesting mix, thanks to attending high school and college in the late 1990's. Things to note: I attended a Christian college, I was really into my church youth group and a strong Christian, I loved Spanish, I think I liked at least one boy almost all of the time...

Oh man...since I listened to this, I haven't gotten it out of my head! Been singing it all afternoon. One memory I have of this is singing on the phone (that was attached to the wall with a cord) in 1996 when I was a freshman in college. I was talking to a boy I liked and kept singing "Oh Oh" in the appropriate parts. He thought it was funny. We didn't go out but once or twice...can't remember if it was before or after the song on the phone incident.

I also remembering singing this at the top of my lungs and jumping around with friends in our youth group building (which was a mobile home at the time). I'm surprised the floor didn't give way. Gotta love DC talk. One of my favorite parts is the intro. And this song uses the word "tat" which I have since been told is no longer cool by a friend with some tats. I even asked @tattoodjay once what he thought of the word. Ha!

Hope you enjoyed it. Did you ever listen to this song or was this your first time?
