great track

i dig it. it launched at least a few dozen good electro albums over the past five years or so.

Yum!

I wasn't aware that it was "electro" when I was a 10 year old kid. I just knew it was a kickass song. The cred it gets now makes it even cooler.

i just thought it was a poppy, clubby, sorta hip-hoppy dance song when it first came out...then i think it got revived with "the crying game", and it got a little bit of alternative cred...and now, you hear tons of hipster electro groups making songs sounding like it. i think it's a pretty influential little ditty.

It's so great that even cheap copies would have to be at least interesting.

TRON said:

the entire 'darkdancer' album by the guy who produced madonna's new album sounds like 'let the music play'.

Anxiety said:

It's gotta be good then. Maybe I'll check that out.

So 80s it hurts, but thats what makes it so good.

The dub....i think it was a dub mix any ways i use to jam that.
...me thinks.

Love the song and love that whole album.

"Give Me Tonight" and there was a slow cut called "Someone Waiting Home" were two more that i liked from the "Let the music Play" lp.

Let the music play and Give me tonight are both great songs that take me back

Both of those tunes are classic. The other one from that album that I love is My Heart's Divided.

I love that dub mix for "Let The Music Play" and also the dubs for "Give Me Tonight" and "Do You Wanna Get Away".

That one's a jam also.

do you guys remember the cheesy video,with those silly-looking dancers?

Yes. It was absolutely horrible.

It's the worst ever! I burned it to DVD from VH1 Classic.

I remeber this song. I liked this song.

Yeah, that was the third single after "Give Me Tonight". I liked the singles "Do You Wanna Get Away" and "Stronger Together" from Shannon's second album also.

TRON said:

Shannon even sings on the album.

TRON said:

hell yeah it's electro!!! kicks ass too!

RipHer2Shreds said:

i have her GH CD and I love me some sweet somebody as well as do you wanna get away. urgent is cool too!

Anxiety said:

Perhaps more importantly, it launched the entire freestyle genre. Lisa Lisa, The Cover Girls, Sweet Sensation, Sa-fire, etc. all have their roots in Shannon.
