This morning on television, I had a pre-teen flashback of the "we're a lot older now" variety.
Deborah (Debbie) Gibson and Jordan Knight (New Kids on the Block) were singing a duet! What a blast from the past! My very first tape (yes, I said "tape") was New Kids on the Block, with "The Right Stuff." Debbie Gibson followed shortly, with "Electric Youth." Gaw ...

I don't remember what my FIRST purchased tapes were, but I think that Debbie Gibson's "Only In My Dreams" was one of the first of my COMPACT DISC (even THAT word sounds archaic) collection. Sadly, b/c I tend to things for an interminable amount of time, I believe I still have that CD buried somewhere in my collection. In fact, I ripped that CD onto my computer a couple of years. Again, one of my more embarassing moments
Upon further review of her collection, it might have been "Only in My Dreams" that I had first because I remember singing that and "Shake Your Love" at my house.
Of course, my parents didn't notice this nearly as much as when, a couple of years later, I was walking around the house belting out, "Damn! I wish I was your lover!" by Sophie B. Hawkins. Great song.
Talk about a "Damn!" I just pulled up some of the lyrics:
"I give you something sweet each time you
Come inside my jungle book"
Holy cow, missed that reference as a teenager. Thankfully.
