I was driving home from a friend’s house tonight and was listening to some old music from when I was a kid. There was a novelty rap group made up of kids around my age back in the early 90s called Another Bad Creation, or “ABC.” Pretty solid New Jack Swing-era stuff, a couple good singles, most notably the sadly forgotten “Iesha.”
I was thinking back to my days of middle school dances, wearing Champion sweatshirts and overalls with one strap loose, lmao, and Iesha came to mind, so I played it. Still goes hard, in a corny sort of way😝
BUT…. it’s a love song from the perspective of like an 11 year old kid, so I was singing along with it, and then being like “uggghhhhh, that doesn’t really hit the same at 44”, lmfao
Like almost every lyric should get a grown man watchlisted😂
” ‘Yo, Red, where’d you meet her?’ ….’AT THE PLAYGROUND, y’know? That’s where I saw this cutie…this girl was swingin’ and she looked so fine…. ON THE MONKEY BARS…we climbed up to the top and, she touched my hand, that’s when I fellllllllll in loooovvvvveeeeee”
and of course….
”We played Nintendooooooo…. this was our very first date, I didn’t want to make it seem too fly, we ate cereaaaaallllllll…. she couldn’t stay out that late, her mother told her to be hoooommmmmeeeeeee byyyyyyy niiiiiinnnnneeeee…”
💀💀💀💀💀💀
I don’t think I can sing along with this one anymore, the pedo vibes it gives are too strong, lmao
