Nothing says "It's the weekend" like some Boy Meets Girl!

I don't know how... as it must have been fate, but I recently rediscovered this gem of a tune.  For some reason I listened to it on repeat 3 times in a row on my way to work.  That is how real men get jacked to make 8!

Interesting side note, this song was first pitched to Whitney Houston but Clive Davis didn't like it.  Belinda Carlisle recorded it but hated the song and wouldn't include it on her 1987 album, Heaven On Earth.  So without a home, this song bounced from artist to artist until this Michael Bolton looking dude in the Everlast sweatshirt who wrote it, decided to record it in 1988.  The song also appeared as the closing track to Three Men and a Little Lady in 1990.  This guy also wrote How Will I Know and I Wanna Dance With Somebody for Whitney Houston and oddly enough, Let's Hear It For The Boy by Deniece Williams.  Tragically, all members of Boy Meets Girl died when their plane crashed head on into another plane in 1991 and were never heard from again.  Nah, just kidding... they're probably all alright.  Not kidding about the never being heard from again part though.  Now listen to 4 minutes and 30 seconds of awesome 80's sounds topped with air-sax solo material.
