Dance Music Memories from the Elementary School Days

The music of my elementary school days was great because this music was so memorable to hear on the radio.  There were great songs like Jump Around, by The House of Pain, or Gonna Make you Sweat (Every Dance Now).  I will tell you the songs by Grade Number.

Grade II (1990 - 1991)


In Grade II, my brother moved in with my Grandfather in March 1991.  Every night, he will sleep with the radio on and I hear very intersting music.  I searched for the station until my brother put it on for me.  The station was AM 640 The Hog.  These are the songs of that year.

Get Ready For This, 2 Unlimited (1991)

I Don't Need Yo Kiss, Love and Sas (1991)

I Wanna Sex You Up, Color Me Badd, (1991) When I heard this song for the first time, I was dreaming about my trip to Nickelodeon Studios.  During the dream, I was with my class in a room within Nickelodeon Studios and than we were supposed to stand for O Canada.  Once the music started, than I woke up and realized it was my radio playing "I wanna Sex You Up"

Get with U, Lidell Townsell & M.T.F (1992).  In the summer of 1992, I heard this song on AM 640 and the sound of the cowbell reminded me of the movement of a conveyer belt. I also remember hearing this song while I was sleeping in by brother's room and I magically woke up in my own bedroom.  Was I sleep walking?
