My love, tell me what it's all about
You've go something that I can't live without
Happiness, is so hard to find
Hey baby, tell me what is on your mind
Coz I can't wait (baby I can't wait) till you call me on the telephone
I can't wait (baby I can't wait) till we're all alone
You know I love you even when you don't try
I know that our love will never die
Hey darling when you look into my eye
Please tell me you'll never have to say goodbye
Coz I can't wait (baby I can't wait)
this is what I've been waiting for
I can't wait (baby I can't wait)
till my love walked in the door
I can't wait (baby I can't wait)
true love is so hard to find
I found yours, you found mine
I can't wait (baby I can't wait)
tell me what is on your mind
Got to let you know...
I can't wait (baby I can't wait)
till you call me on the telephone
I can't wait (baby I can't wait)
till we're all alone
Oh oh I can't wait (baby I can't wait)
true love is so hard to find
I found yours, you found mine
I can't wait (baby I can't wait)
tell me what is on your mind
No, no, I can't wait (baby I can't wait)
No, I can't wait (baby I can't wait)
Say it one more time
Oh I can't wait (baby I can't wait)
this is what I've been waiting for
Oh I can't wait (baby I can't wait)
till my love walked in the door

about
Where were you in 1986?
In the all night discos in New York City?
Combing through the 12” DJ dance bins at a record store in Holland?
Going out to “get lucky” on Ladies Night at the Last Hurrah in Portland OR?
Listening to “Voice of America” in a remote jungle in mainland China?
Whether you were listening to the radio in a small Pacific NW town, or shaking your booty in a big city disco, from coast to coast, Europe to Asia, you could hear the song that took the world by storm and introduced the band NU SHOOZ to music lovers everywhere. “I Can’t Wait,” went to #3 on the Billboard Pop Chart, and top five in most of the civilized world. The group had two more hits, “Point of No Return,” (#28 in 1987,) and “Should I Say Yes?”. (#41 in 1988)
NU SHOOZ was formed in Portland Oregon in 1979, by two ex-members of the local Calypso band Felicidades. It took a year for them to find their direction, as a 12 piece horn band in the tradition of Tower of Power and Earth Wind and Fire. By 1982, the Shooz were one of the top bands in Portland. A year later though, a series of personnel changes decimated the group and its following. There followed a dark period, once again they seemed to be searching for an identity. Still, they never stopped playing. The band’s line-up was reduced to seven, and they moved out beyond Portland, touring the Northwest region of the U.S. in a converted school bus. “I Can’t Wait” was written during this time. Portland Top 40 station KKRZ picked up on the song in the spring of 1985. After that their popularity grew all over again.
I Can’t Wait is still being played on the radio somewhere on earth every 11 minutes. The bass-line shows up in NBA games, and there are You-tube videos of people singing along to it. Whether you’re hearing it for the first time on your iPod, or you danced to it during the Reagan era, these Shooz just get more comfortable with time.
