I think its more like a last death grasp - the authorities trying to put the brakes on a new, freer and more social society. Certainly connected to a recent resurgence of Covid panic. It won't last much longer, though.Curtisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-59281218485577288922021-01-31T01:41:30.745-05:002021-01-31T01:41:30.745-05:00This song is like "Tom's Diner" -- a...This song is like "Tom's Diner" -- a capella that's sampled into a dance hit during the restless phase when dance fever takes over.<br /><br />"Whatcha Say" by Jason Derulo in 2009, "Tom's Diner" remixed by DNA in 1990.<br /><br />Only diff is the source song's phase -- restless phase for "Hide and Seek" (2005), vulnerable phase for "Tom's Diner" (1987).<br /><br />Could be other examples from the late '70s and early '60s, but I won't check now. Otherwise, just an interesting coincidence.<br /><br />Still, dance fever takes over so much in a restless phase that they'll even transform an a capella song into a dance groove.agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19346366.post-40649768409689244352021-01-31T01:36:05.355-05:002021-01-31T01:36:05.355-05:00Found this on CD at the thrift store for $1.

Going out dancing 4 nights a week for awhile there...<br /><br />And a formative time for the wild-child early '90s births. Horniest and most exhibitionistic generation since the early '60s births (both a 15 and 30-year cycle).agnostichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967177967469961883noreply@blogger.com
