When I was a kid in 1992/93, I'd listen to the local hip-hop station. They're play house music at night and there'd be a track that would come up that was super catchy. Being the early 90s, and late night radio of just hour long mixed music, they'd never call out the song title and there's was no internet to look it up on a playlist or something. It also didn't help that the song was basically nonsensical lyrics, so describing the song by it's lyrics was pretty worthless. Though I did try to look for it through the years, I never had much luck. It was so strange to me that a seemingly popular song just disappeared like that.
At some point in the late 2000s, I managed to discover a forum that specialized in identifying songs. I happened to have a recording of the song on cassette from the days I'd sit by the radio with my thumb on the record button for when my favorite songs would come up. I uploaded a small clip of it for them to identify it. A few days later after some incorrectly identified songs, someone says, "Nightcrawlers- Push the Feeling On". Damn! I was elated! I looked it up on YouTube and there it was, with a music video too! I was very happy that day.
Nice! If you had waited for another decade, you might have come across it again in Pitbull's cover!
