What 90s R&B songs have specific times (midnight, 8 o'clock, etc) in the lyrics?
What 90s R&B songs have specific times (midnight, 8 o'clock, etc) in the lyrics? Im gathering these songs for a trivia challenge, so I have to be mindful that the songs aren't going to be too obscure for a majority of the audience.
Criteria
- I'm not super strict on my definition of 90s R&B - can include some late 80s and some 00s, especially artists like New Edition, Whitney, Mariah who had high profiles in the 90s, even if their catalogs span before and after. Can also include some rap and hip hop.
- The time lyrics should be fairly prominent - either in the chorus or in the first verse of the song.
- Song should be somewhat well known. A released single vs a deep cut album track. An R&B fan who didn't own the album should be able to remember the lyric if prompted.
Examples:
- So Anxious - Ginuwine (9' o clock! Home Alone!) (This one might be too obscure, its just on the edge.)
- Nice & Slow - Usher (It's 7 o clock on the dot)
- Jumpin Jumpin - Destiny's Child (It's 11:30 and the club is jumping, jumping)
- Case of the Ex - Mya (It's after midnight and shes on your phone.)
