1990's Boner Jam



Subtlety is not a defining characteristic of the 1990's but Next's catchy R&B tune, "Too Close", and it's obvious theme is beyond ridiculous. How a song about dancing with a woman while sporting an erection reached the top of the Billboard charts is beyond me, but I guess it was a simpler time back then. The only explanation I can think of is that this song really grew on people and eventually reached a point where it became hard not to listen to it.

Next fan(s) may think I am being too hard on the group and may even think I dislike this song. The truth is even though I was surprised by the adult nature of this song I really do enjoy this song and will forever remember it as a great song from the 90's. That being said, you can imagine the look on my face when someone explained to me what this song was about. Next thing you know someone's going to tell me Sisqo's "Thong Song" isn't about sandals.

Enjoy.
