I can tell you right now that the 90s were the best times of my life and if I could relive them or what not, that would be amazing. The music, the friends, the incredibly fun times, it was all what made the 90s the best decade ever. No other decade could compare because it was such a revolutionary time in pretty much all media outlets including the music industry.

Man! Back in 90s I was lost in dance tracks driving and going to clubs. From Miami to Orlando-up to Atlanta and Birmingham..on occasions i headed to the Carolinas and Tennessee. Partying days. Carefree and enjoying some days more than others. What a time the club scene was back then. No way I’d travel and live like I did back then, but I made some good memories..but I’m fine with the memories. I have no desire to repeat those days. Now in my late 40’s, I don’t know how I did it 🤣 I guess all the wild times in the 90s and 2000’s, it’s turned me into a homebody. I feel like I’ve lived a million lives-but very happy to be home and chilling

To me, this is one of THE songs to reminisce about the 90's. What a great time - wasn't life just lot more easier? When I listen to this song I feel joy and happiness. I remember when this song was played on German music TV station VIVA back in 1995. This is good music and in my opinion one of those rare examples of songs sounding better than their original version. Unfortunately, most of today's music consists of some depressing singer-songwriter tunes - and that sucks big time.

Magnífico hit de los 90'! Eran principios de esa década!! Cuando Hiba en la secundaria y la juventud no estaba tan corrompida y humillada!! En pocas palabras era una juventud más sana!!
