Daily Boom 80's Lost Hit: Bardeux - 'When We Kiss'

"There`s a real fine line
Between love and hate
And I`m not the type
To just sit and wait
I`ve made up my mind
I can`t wait for you anymore"

Ya know that one song that you remember so well years (okay decades) later that no one else can recall? Bardeux's "When We Kiss' fits that bill for me. I have never mentioned it to another soul that has any idea what I'm talking about and if I play it for them, they still don't remember it. Bardeux was actually a dance duo from OC, Stacy "Acacia" Smith and Lisa "Jaz" Teaney (at least on this song), who released their first album, Bold As Love in 1988.

While Bardeux is often described as a one-hit-wonder, they actually had a few singles that charted on Billboard's Hot 100 and they did really well on the dance charts during their short time together. I've always loved "When We Kiss' because it's almost more of a spoken word song than anything else and that really made it stand out back in 1988. Check it out below. Do you guys remember Bardeux?

Daily Boom 80's Throwback: Neneh Cherry - 'Buffalo Stance'

No money man can win my love
It's sweetness that I'm thinking of.
We always hang in a Buffalo Stance
We do the dive every time we dance
I'll give you love baby not romance
I'll make a move nothing left to chance
So don't you get fresh with me

Neneh Cherry first hit on MTV at a time when other ladies like Queen Latifah and Monie Love were blowing up. Girl groups like JJ Fad and Salt N' Pepa had already proved that women were good for a lot more than just syrupy ballads and viewers really seemed to dig this new wave of ladies. Cherry was born in the states but raised in Sweden beside an incredibly musical family. That probably explains why her talent has spanned singing, rapping and even spoken word. She's an artist that has been far more motivated by creativity than the all mighty dollar since first appearing in 1988.

"Buffalo Stance" was the first single by Cherry to find itself in heavy rotation on MTV. It was written about the group of friends that she ran with back in the day and a former boyfriend, Che' is heavily referenced. In the end she dumped him because she thought that he was too materialistic. One interesting nugget is that the spoken word portion of this song is actually ripped from a love letter that Che' wrote to Cherry before their split!

Daily Boom 80's Throwback: Us3 - 'Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)'

"Feel the beat drop, jazz and hip hop

Drippin' in the dome, mix is on the lock

Funk and fusion, a fly illusion

Keeps ya coastin' on the river we cruisin'

Up, down, 'round and 'round, found the found

But nevertheless ya gots to get down

Finesse freak through the beat so unique

Ya move your feet, the sweat from the heat"

If you don't remember the name "Cantaloop" it's okay because you still may verywell know the song. It was put out by a London group called Us3 back in 1993, to much critical acclaim. It ended up being a very successful fusion of jazz and rap (the rap always has had a spoken word vibe to it). The song sampled Herbie Hancock and selections from the Blue Note Record catalog. The end result was a great song that snatched up loads of radio play not to mention the fact that its' video was in heavy rotation on MTV for a long time.

Sadly, Us3 never really followed up "Cantaloop" with anything that remotely compared to it. It's definitly a one-hit-wonder, but a great one at that.

Check out the video below. Doesn't it end too soon?
