    A Hard One, Maybe?

    There is a house track from the mid-nineties that starts with a couple of women having a conversation, where one is describing to the other a sexual encounter she had in a car.

    The last lines are: "You mean you gave it up in a BUICK?"
    "Honey, it was WONDERFUL"

    The chorus is "Tell him that I want to make love to him tonight"

    Can anyone help me with the title and artist?

    Thanks!

    Not so hard after all.
    Is an amazing Track produced by THE BASEMENT BOYS and is called

    THOSE GUYS - TONITE (1991 MCA)

    with Eleanor Mills at the vocals.

    Enjoy!

    P.S. Read the comments posted under the video ... the Househeads are all nostalgic for the good old days of House....Isn't it ironic, don'cha think???? :icon_exclaim:

    Wow!!! Thanks, Marky, for having posted that one!!!

    I hadn't made the connection between the "Buick" speech and this dreamy "Tonite" track (I probably never heard the intro at the time). What a burst of great early-morning memories!!! That fluctuating synth background and repeated "tonight"s were hypnotizing!!

    Thanks for the posts everyone and reuniting me with a track that helped define a decade.

    I have a new one for you...there was a track back in the eighties called "Satellite", and I thought that the band was OMD (Orchestral Maneuvres in the Dark), but I can't seem to find it in any discography by that band, so I assume that was done by someone else. The hook is:

    "I'm...I'm just your satellite, watching you..."

    This quest is going on 20 years!

    The Hooters had a hit in '87 with 'Satellite'.

    Regarding the Those Guys track, it's nice that they credited Eleanor Mills (sister of Stephanie Mills & they sampled her 'Mr. Right' 80s track) 'cos so many modern sample tracks never credit the original artist/diva. I remember Pete Tong used to play the Those Guys track in the early 90s on his Friday nite radio show; it is rather good but a tad too repetitive like so many house tracks IMO.

    Thanks for the info Sandy...I didn't know she was Stephanie's sister....and......... truth be told-- I was disappointed with the track ....I only listened twice...but it didn't float my boat :icon_confused:...but since Thommy, KoolChris & Mr. Pecs are fans, I will give it a few more listens. Maybe ya had to be there?

    It's funny 'cos at the time I thought it was quite good as I really liked 'deep house' such as Larry Heard but since I've got back into the 70s & early 80s stuff I find this house music very repetitive & formulaic & a bit lacking in class but it still sounds quite atmospheric & sleazy so it's not all bad! Try listening to Eleanor's original track marky, I'm sure you'll like it better as I think I know your tastes quite well after all this time.

    "A" for effort, SandraDee, but that isn't the track. Just checked it out on YouTube. The one that I am looking for had a slow, pulsing beat and the vocalist had a much deeper voice.

    But those lines of dialogue you gave as clues...are in the "Tonite" track exactly as you posted:

    There is a house track from the mid-nineties that starts with a couple of women having a conversation, where one is describing to the other a sexual encounter she had in a car.

    The last lines are: "You mean you gave it up in a BUICK?"

    So Sexii, you got some 'splainin' to do. :icon_lol:
