The early 1990s saw a burst of activity in disposable rhythm and blues (R&B) based pop. Existing alongside of more serious acts, these radio-friendly songs feature catchy electronic hooks, interchangable band members, and a shift of focus away from lyricism. While much of it is justifiably forgotten, some songs from that era maintain their worth. (On a personal note, Dr. J's band director made his students practice marching to this song, and no other song, for hours at a time. Its every note is permanently embossed onto Dr. J's cerebral cortex.)
