Expert: MartinStJohn Date: 2/9/2008 Subject: Early 90's dance music
Question Ok, I think I have more to the question I recently asked you. There was this popular dance song in the early 90's and part of the verse goes and I can't wait... then a chorus of o's start after that. Can you help me find the name?
Answer Tara, the song is "i can't wait" by Nu Shooz. The song is from 1986 that's why at first i didn't absorb the question fully, cuz i was trying to think of 90s songs that fit the description you first gave me. The additional info clued me in to the answer. Nu Shooz is one of many faves of mine, i've more or less liked everything they did..Poolside (the cd which 'i can't wait' is from, among other songs), SHould I say yes..( from the cd "tell you so") and up to the twelve inch mixes (the now very rare "12 inch dutch mix of I can't wait" the 12 inch remix of "point of no return", the 12 inch remix of "are you looking for somebody nu" and the promotional only twelve inch of "tell u so", none of which achieved the big success of their first hit however..
