If you turn on Jammin 95.5 right now, I guarantee one of these songs will be playing: T-Pain “Shawty Snap,” Crime Mobb “Rock Yo Hips,” R Kelly “Same Girl”, Sean Kingston “Beautiful Girls” (AKA the suicide song), Huey “Pop Lock and Drop It”, Shop Boys “Party Like a Rockstar,” or Rihanna’s “Umbrella.” This ultra-limited rotation is—well, it’s totally fine by me, because that’s one of the best clusters of Top 40 songs to come out in forever. (The aesthetic merits of “Rock Star” leave a lot to be desired, but you can unpack the social signifiers in there for days.)

But when I was running the streets at lunchtime, I caught the beginning of the “‘90s at Noon” mix, and holy shit, that was the most grin-inducing bit of radio programming I’ve heard in months. The DJ (Krayzie Kat, the Jammin’ website tells me) started off with a song that completely refuses to age: “Tootsie Roll” by the 69 Boyz, then followed it up with Salt-N-Pepa and Warren G before I had to come back to work. For that 10 minutes, I was 16 again, in southern Louisiana, trying to figure out how my love for this music jived with my love for the Repo Man soundtrack and Dischord Records. But I digress…

I just wanted to say thanks to Jammin for throwing it back like that, and to have any excuse at all to post the “Tootsie Roll” video.
