As long as it’s not Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5, I will be okay. I did not like the Jackson meme for some reason. I digress! Anyway, I decided that I would choose Texas artists since that’s my home state. Coming from Waco, TX (also home of Tevin Campbell) my first choice is Hi-Five…
Hi-Five – I Can’t Wait Another Minute
Next on the list we travel down South to Houston. Before there was a Destiny Child there was a 702, and I love that group growing up.

702 was it back in jr. high. I think the interesting piece of work that is Pretty RIcky may have remade this song recently…
Good looks on Hi-5.

Hi-Five and 702, both well after my childhood. The Hi-Five video was sweet and back far enough that the lyrics were romantic and not blatantly saying “girl, give me some _______” I say far enough back, but we know that there have always been singers who tell it plain and not romantically clouded going all the way back to Chaucer’s era.
I don’t believe it. I actually recognized 702. Think my daughter may have been watching that video one day. Oh, those hats. How could I forget?
Five and 702. Who’s playing the lottery this week? Happy OSF!

Hadn’t seen these videos before! I agree–the first one is very sweet. The second one–LOL @ the hip thrusts!
Gotta love the Texas links though. Native Texan here. (Though haven’t lived there since I was a child…)

I have to admit that I wasn’t that familiar with either of your choices, but enjoyed listening to them. That’s one thing I like about this meme, finding artists that I don’t know.

I was bit by the Hi-Five bug too. Good look on Subway… they had a good sound. I haven’t heard them in years.

I liked high five! But that 702 & Subway song was my jam!! They were young but that was certainly a hit!
