It was 1988 and I was 7 or 8-years old, trying to roller skate at the local skate rink (still can't skate for shit - Canadian true confessions here).
I heard a voice over the speakers and turn to the DJ booth as the lyrics, "Time to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me and we tumble to ground and then you say"..
What artist was I mesmerized by?
@danieldeaseweitzelwalker doing the hand choreo and singing this now
@danieldeaseweitzelwalker Depends, was it the cover or the 1967 original?
@danialexis The choices help with that - I should've put Tommy James in there as a trick! But the clues 80s skate rink also helps. 😉
@danieldeaseweitzelwalker Yeah, it was pretty obvious you weren't referring to the cover, but it's amazing how many people I have met who didn't know the 80s version was a cover.
@danieldeaseweitzelwalker *the original. It's late here, lol
@danialexis I gotcha. :)
@danialexis I'm probably biased, but her's was better IMO.
@danieldeaseweitzelwalker I share this bias.
You sure it wasn't a mall?
@nblumengarten They did also play it in malls, but not in this case!
I was making a joke since she toured malls: https://calendar.songfacts.com/june/23/16541
@danieldeaseweitzelwalker I don't see Tommy James and the shondells on that list 😂
@danieldeaseweitzelwalker her version is my favorite version of that song.
These lyrics were sang by Tiffany, from her 1987 self-titled album, "Tiffany".
