[-] blue_groove@reddit (OP) This song gave me hope as an awkward adolescent that there was a girl out there crazy enough to actually like me. [-] cutreamthread@reddit If my grade/middle/high school crush came up to me and kissed me now while this song was playing in the background, I wouldn't be disappointed. [-] aqua_vida@reddit Same crush throughout?? [-] cutreamthread@reddit There's been various but has always been the one constant. [-] Bandando@reddit I totally missed it in the 90s. Somehow didn’t hear it till like 2004 and was totally hooked. My husband, OTOH, misheard the lyrics back in the day as “Damn, shower your lover.” [-] aqua_vida@reddit Same! Somehow I didn’t hear this song til college and it kind of rivaled Beyoncé for me😂

[-] piscian19@reddit Well I definitely didn't throw myself around my bedroom as an 10yo when this would play on the radio.
[-] hobbes_shot_first@reddit Damn, I wish Abed was Batman... [-] majorjoe23@reddit It’s the perfect song for a Sophie B Hawkins Dance. [-] The_C0u5@reddit Came here to say this.
[-] grandpa5000@reddit Damn, I shoulda worn a rubber… [-] aqua_vida@reddit Just laughed so hard. Thank you😂
[-] TheGirlwThePinkHair@reddit Original lyric was “damn I wish I was her lover” deemed too wild for back then. So glad times have changed [-] ScreenTricky4257@reddit I always used to sing, "You know I wish that I were Jessie's girl." Also wild. [-] blue_groove@reddit (OP) Wow, I didn't know, and definitely agree. Thank you for sharing.

[-] _its_a_SWEATER_@reddit Wish my girl would call it her “Jungle Book”. [-] blue_groove@reddit (OP) Wholeheartedly agree.
[-] EternalSunshineClem@reddit I definitely thought she said "I'll fuck you 'til the daylight comes" because I was surprised they played that line on the radio
[-] 83CO@reddit I cannot say that I have ever heard this song. [-] Bandando@reddit Don’t feel bad, I missed it, too. And then I also realize there are other songs from that era I thought were huge hits, only to learn they were flashes in the pan, or it was only that my siblings overplayed them at home. [-] blue_groove@reddit (OP) It was a fairly big hit in the spring of 1992 (reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100) [-] 83CO@reddit I was 8 years old in the spring of '92, heh.

[-] blue_groove@reddit (OP) Just remembered that the original version of the video was banned by MTV for being too erotic: https://youtu.be/GgDIKUOYBZI
