OMG...I used to LURVE this song back in the day!

The org's resident no-so-fancy lesbian

Proud Wendy & Lisa Asskisser

Politicians should dress like race car drivers, then we'd know who their corporate sponsors are.

I think it is one of the greatest songs ever

I remember watching this while getting my hair cut at the barber shop. Was 5 years old.

Another Org staple! I guess I'll do the honors of saying I prefer the Teddy Riley remix and posting it:

This is a great song and the Remix has got to be one of the greatest remixes that Teddy has done, aside from of the 'Remember the time" remixes, that he had done for MJ.

scrimpgirl you are killin' the game with these song threads.

This song is a shining example of everything that was RIGHT about late 80's/early 90's pop music.

No mention of her Canadian-ness?

Was this song from 1989 or 1990?

AMG says the album came out in 1989 though the single "Don't Want To Fall In Love" came out in early 1990 in the US.

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Jane Child's debut album was a pleasant excursion into synthesized dance-pop that was distinguished by the ingratiatingly catchy single, "Don't Wanna Fall in Love." A handful of other songs on the album — including the minor hit "Welcome to the Real World" — demonstrated Child's skills as a pop craftswoman, but just as many fell flat.

Did anyone buy her latest album SURGE (2008)?

Loves it

That shit was my JAM for a cool minute. I liked that chain she had too!

This is a beast of a song and I love it.

Isn' she Julia's child?

Julia Child never had kids

If you don't love this song...what is with you?

Seriously, this is just one of those songs

Her synth work was just insane!
