This song will forever and ever remind me of my friend Jay (I'm laughing right now thinking about his goofy dance moves). It is from the year 1996. My most vivid memory of this song is from the night that Jay took me out to a local club (Front 54) to help take my mind off the fact that I had just broken up with my boyfriend who had confessed to cheating on me. Don't feel too bad for me, we had only been together for about a week. And as fate would have it, that was also the night that I met my future husband (at least according to him). He was with some of his volleyball teammates and when he saw me, he elbowed one of them and said "Hey Wes, what do you think of the redhead?" After that he approached me and dropped his best line - "Hi, my name is Joe." We exchanged info and well, the rest is history.
And just in case you are curious, the first time my husband and I actually met was a month earlier at our University pub. Joe was an orientation director (basically responsible for going around and helping first years and encouraging school spirit - but if you ask me it was just a ploy to meet girls). I was standing alone waiting for a friend and he came over and said hi, asked if I was having fun and gave me a hug. He doesn't remember this of course, but I do. It's not every day that a cute black guy comes over to give you a hug.
So, I'm curious - where did you meet your significant other?
As for the song - this one is for you Jay! No Mercy - 'Where Do You Go'
