"Don't turn around uh oh". Say What. 
This actually played on the Black stations one summer, however not for very long. I'm not sure if it made the Black clubs though. I just know it was a pretty dark time in my life, and I was struggling making barely above minimum wage, trying to make my half of the rent, and always stayed one inch from being fired, that or getting fired. I couldn't club because the type job I had barely gave me weekends. That, or I always worked the evening or midnight shift. A couple of good popular DMV clubs came and went during the time this song came out. One was the Paragon in the Crystal City/Pentagon City area of Arlington, VA. I think I would have done well in that club, like I use to in the Classics, the Hogates, and the Chapter 3. I don't know why I wasted so much time at the Club Utopia.
Back to this song. I remember I was picking up a high school buddy of mine one day, who had an older sister I didn't know too well. Anyway, she was ironing something, and this song played on the radio. She started bouncing a little like a White girl on American Band Stand, then caught herself. But she was smooth about it. She was about two years older than us. But I don't think she ever got over me seeing her grove to this song, even though she only did for about 3 or 4 seconds...lol.
I thought I'd make this thread as a flip side to my "Songs You Thought Were Sung By Black Artists" thread.
Tbh, most White songs that crossed over to the R&B stations were alright, therefore it'll be hard to find ones that you didn't think belonged there. However this was one White song I felt never belonged there. FF to today, some of you might think it does...lol.
