sorry -- I meant "All That She Wants"

I thought for the longest time that "All That She Wants" was a song about trying to get pregnant.

I thought it was!

I didn't post it yet and I'm kinda youtubed out, but I hope no-one's forgotten When I See You Smile by Bad English. I think it's still one of those ballads that always ends up on a compilation every few years...I am not ashamed to say that I love love love it.
If only because Jon Waite had that not-so-hot-dude with hot-sounding-singing-voice thing going on.

I adore a couple of John Waite solo hits but Bad English is an excrescence. A relative bought me the tape of that first album in late '89. The only I can stand is the (forgotten!) second hit "Price of Love."

Good stuff on this thread so far. Firefox users: Flashblock addon is very useful for Youtube-heavy threads like this.

Is this considered forgotten or just not very well known in North America?

Natural Selection - Do Anything

A top ten nineties song for me: a #2 hit I don't even hear on urban radio anymore.

Brent Bourgeois - "Dare To Fall In Love"

I don't know how I managed to completely forget this song's existence and yet still recall every note and word upon hearing it.
