Duran Duran - "Girls on Film"

Girls on Film" is the third single by Duran Duran, released on 13 July 1981. The single became Duran Duran's Top 10 breakthrough in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at #5 on 25 July. Its success was particularly gratifying for the band, who had personally selected it for release following the failure of its predecessor, "Careless Memories", which had been chosen by their record company, EMI. Its popularity provided a major boost to sales of the band's eponymous debut album, Duran Duran, which had been released a month earlier. The song did not chart in the U.S. on its initial release, but it became popular and widely known after receiving heavy airplay on MTV when the Duran Duran album was re-issued in 1983. It is regarded one of the band's signature songs.

Nu Shooz - "I can't wait"

"I Can't Wait" is a 1986 hit song by Nu Shooz from the album Poolside. The song was originally recorded the previous year and became a popular radio track in and around the band's hometown of Portland, Oregon. It is noted for its instantly-recognizable bassline and for its catchy "uh-uh uh uh uh uh uh-uh!" sample chorus. In the United States, the song reached #1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart in late March of 1986, remaining atop the chart for two weeks. Soon afterwards the song appeared on the Hot 100 chart, where it climbed to #3 in mid-June of that year; it remained in the Top 40 for 15 weeks. In the United Kingdom the song reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart. The song's American chart run coincided with that of a Stevie Nicks song also titled "I Can't Wait" (a rare incidence of two different songs with the same title charting at the same time). The extended "Long Dutch Mix" contains more samples (such as "c'mon!" from Madonna's "Into the Groove"), and takes the pitchshifting of the chorus even further, creating an eventual "pitchdown" at the ending. A rap cover of the song, "I Can't Wait (To Rock The Mike)" by Spyder-D was released shortly theareafter. The song was covered in 2002 by British R&B group Ladies First and reached #19 on the UK chart. In 2007 the music was replayed in a remix for Paula DeAnda's single "Easy", featuring a rap appearance by Bow Wow, this song was produced by a production team by the name of The Flyntstones. The song was also mashed up with Snoop Dog's Drop It Like It's Hot by dj BC in a song called "Snoop's Nu Shooz. "In 1996, Vanessa Williams used an interpolation of "I Can't Wait" in her hit "Happiness."
