Those random 4 on the floor hits from 89 - ? that crossed over to the mainstream....Some deserved to cross over while others just sucked - but are now mad fun to play out. Trying to remember more...help...Robin S - Show Me LoveBucketheads - The Bomb Sagat - Funk DatJordy - Ooh La La Baby Bizarre Inc - I'm Gonna Get YouBlack Box - Everybody20 Fingers - Short Dick ManOutthere Bros - Boom Boom Boom

    Nomad - (I Wanna Give You) Devotion
    Degrees of Motion - Do You Want It Right Now (wasn't this sampled in Armand Van Helden's recent single or something?)

    20 Fingers - Short Dick Man

    One of the best strip acts I saw was to this song. She was covered in balloons full of glitter and there was no lazy strolling back and forth here, she danced her heart out and popped balloons all the while. Glitter would fly everywhere and near the end, she was covered in gold dust with a long banana-ish balloon and two little round ones below the waist. Eventually they came off too. The room lost their mind, rightfully so!

    If you're going to count the Bucketheads, then you might as well thrown in (if it hasn't been mentioned already) that Armand Van Helden remix of "Professional Widow." Who did that, like Tori Amos or someone? It's straight up house, but it'll always bang the downtown stripey shirt becky crowd.


    2 in a Room "Wiggle It" was also my jam back in the day, along with Black Box "Strike it Up."

    I'll ride for shit like that all day.
