Hot Slut Of The Day!

Corina, a freestyle pop chanteuse from the 90s who made my life a couple of days ago when her one hit from 1991 "Temptation" randomly played in my car. You haven't lived until you've sang out the lyrics to "Temptation" while dancing with your steering wheel in traffic.

If you were in high school or junior high school in America in the early 90s, then you probably knew someone or were someone who danced in a catsuit with a folding chair to "Temptation" in your school talent show (you came in second to last before the girl who did a dramatic reading of a Jesus Jones song). "Temptation" was Corina's biggest and only hit, but I'm sure she didn't produce another hit on purpose, because she knew she could never top this:

What more do you need? Corina's singing a break-up song to her lover, because she found a new man who treats her like a special lady and she's doing that while wearing a purple crushed velvet catsuit. There's nothing more you need. And the fact she looks like Angel from Rent makes this even better and ahead of its time.

I also know most of the word to "I've been thinking about you." Is this a NYC thing, perchance?

I saw the post and thought the song sounded familiar. And then I pressed play on the video and I knew ALL. THE. WORDS. I entered high school in 92, so I guess this proves you right, lol

Truer words have not been spoken.
This summed up my experiences in 1992 in a single sentence.

This video and everything by K7 were always playing on The Box.

Ohh yes, I remember this song well. The cassingle still resides somewhere in my parent's house along with singles for Jomanda's 'Got A Love For You' and 'Justified and Ancient' by KLF w/Tammy Wynette.

man, this must have been my baby-goth period, because I do not know this song. Weird.
isn't it a fantastic perk of living in LA - with all the local radio stations clearly competing to play the most obscurely forgotten One Hit Wonders? Viva la Neenah Cherry.

-LA Juice, because "OJ" was taken.

Adding Ophy's "techno shemale" to that list. (which is how I felt about Lady Miss Kier and I'm still not sure...)

This is what my ex and I called "Alberto music". He had this friend Alberto who would blast this and Lisette Melendez from his souped-up Tercel.

soooo... is your ex still fighting to legally marry Alberto?

I use to have the vinyl 12" remixes of this song - like 7 different versions. Only 1 was really worthy of listening though - the original.

I have this mess on my iPod! I actually bought the entire album on cassette when it first came out (or close to when it came out 'cause I got it from Columbia House). I don't think I ever listened to it because Corina never had another hit.

Damn, I miss the 90s. It was the decade full of boxy clothes with different colors that didn't go together and videos with velvet catsuits and fainting couches. LOVE!
