200 OMG's!
BUFFALO STANCE BY
NENEH CHERRY
Once upon a time in 1989 there was a moment where downtown
was the place to be. Club culture was at its 80’s nadir and the kids were out
in full force whether or not Lisa Lisa was there. The first of sibling one hit
wonders Neneh and Eagle Eye Cherry’s hits, Neneh’s Buffalo Stance was pulling everyone
to the dance floor. All you needed was something new and expensive, something
from a thrift store and some cocaine and the night would be yours.
To this day, I think I’m cooler for having known and loved
this song. It should be a classic and I wonder if any youngs even know it. To
me it still sounds fresh (or is that phresh?) but that could just be me
desperately clinging to youth,. The whole talking bit in the middle, the
breakdown, it’s all good and it’s all in there. This was hip hop from across
the pond back when hip hop was still finding its legs.
What is he like, anyway?
We always hang in a buffalo stance:
