Home | Theme Song: "Right Here, Right Now"

May 3, 2009

This song, somehow, will always represent to me the great sense of hope and optimism that characterized the 1990s here in the U.S. "Right Here, Right Now" was, after all, one of the theme songs of Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign.

Wikipedia reports that the song was also used in K-Mart commercials on television. Must have been on a channel that I don't watch. On Lifetime, they just have Martha Stewart ads ...

The drum line is reminiscent of the sampled R&B beats -- mainly from James Brown tracks -- popular in dance music at the time.

Good song ...

There were so many times during the long and horrible years of the Bush "administration" when I wanted those days back.

I'm going to play this later!

I have fond memories of dancing to this song in the Mike Todd room of the Palladium ages ago.

I also liked the band's other "hit", International Bright Young Thing, but it had no social significance whatsoever.
