"Funky Nassau"/Beginning Of The End Do you mean..."Mini skirts, maxi skirts and afro hairdo's/People doing their own thing, don't care about me or you?" I think this one's a bit obscure but some of you might remember "Jungle Fever" by the Chakachas. | |

The only "Jungle Fever" I know about is Stevie Wonder's song from Spike Lee's movie. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Sorry, just had to get that out. . . I have NO idea where that came from. . . You could be refering to Freaknasty "Da Dip" or Janet Jackson's "Someone To Call My Lover (Remix featuring Jermaine Dupri)"  | |
