Why start a post with a photo of the Seinfeld cast? Is it to pay respect to the best sitcom ever (this is not arguable, there isn't an episode of Seinfeld that's not watchable and hilarious)? No. It is because no other TV show personifies the 90's as much as it does (seriously, every episode of Seinfeld would be ruined if someone had a cell phone). In Throwback Thursdays (no idea what else to call it), a weekly feature, Jovan and I will each pick 3 "throwback songs" (any song from the 00's and before), post the songs, and write a short excerpt about each one. It will let us reminisce about simpler times where the only things that tweeted were birds while the reader gets to enjoy some great good entertaining music. So without further ado,

Heaven Is A Place On Earth - Belinda Carlisle
If you’ve seen Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, you know the scene where they steal the truck and listen to those old songs (those songs which you might not realize you know and actually like until you hear them and start singing them yourself). Heaven is a Place on Earth is one of those songs. The 80s had a very distinct style of music, one that I miss, and I don’t mind hearing this song once every while to remind me of a great decade of music.
I've Been Thinking About You - Londonbeat
I listened to this one frequently in the 90s and had forgotten about it until recently when I heard it on the radio. The background music and beat are a joy to listen to, and paired with great vocals from Londonbeat, it is one of my favourite 90s songs. I also never thought someone saying “shi-pow-pow” in a song could actually make it sound good.
