As a kid it appeared on a compilation tape that I grabbed from the bargain bin, and it’s been on my playlist ever since. There is a LOT going on in this video. The performers, the actors, the dancing. Yes, in the tradition of many great ’80s R&B videos, this one comes with a posse…
“I Wonder If I Take You Home” has been covered and sampled by countless artists, but we don’t think any of them had an on-stage presence quite like this. Lisa Lisa has never been more smokin’, and Full Force is in top form, even though his tank top seems to have been caught in a paper shredder.

As you watch the piece, be on the lookout for…
- A couple of female hairstyles that create the illusion of horns
- Lisa Lisa’s rockin’ pink hair extensions that put last year’s feather extensions trend to shame
- A pink satin ensemble that somehow manages to be killer
- Some wicked dancing by the performers, including a spontaneous back flip
- Lots of people in various stages of wondering….about whether or not to take each other home

This is music video gold. And this track from 1985 is one of the decade’s best dance classics. Enjoy, and Happy Friday!!!
