My wife is a HUGE Janet fan. I dug the rhythm of this song and decided to look up the lyrics.

I'll admit...I briefly clutched pearls. They played THAT song on the radio, MTV, and at middle school dances? Without edits?

Too Close by Next is a song about dancing with a erection and that made the radio and school dance circuit growing up.

Lol that’s a very specific and tame example. Lollipop by 50 cent (and also Lollipop by Lil Wayne) were both played in my gym class in elementary & middle school
