Flashback Friday: Nu Shooz ‘I Can’t Wait’

Back to the 80s with this B101.7 Friday Flashback! One-hit wonder alert! This week's spotlight is on Nu Shooz and their summer of 1986 hit, 'I Can't Wait!' Let's face it, this song from the Oregon group is old. Old, as in age. Is it just me or doesn't this song sound like it could be a current hit? It doesn't sound dated to me like your typical songs from the 80s.

Fun facts about 2000:

• Big Movies: Top Gun; Crocodile Hunter; Platoon
• Big TV Shows: Cosby Show: Family Ties; Cheers
• Famous Quote: ‘Yeah... that's the ticket' - Jon Lovitz as Tommy Flanagan on Saturday Night Live
• Notable: Space Shuttle Challenger blew up 73 seconds after take-off, killing all 7 crew members. Tens of thousands of school-age children were watching the flight live, because teacher Christa McAuliffe was a member of the crew.

I've pulled out the video and posted it below.
