    I was only 15 when this came out, year my father died, mom checked out. Realized I was on my own. Like a sling shot I’m back on that beach listening on my Sony Walkman. As hard as it was, I’d go back. I want that girl, I loved this song, it brought me calm in a chaotic time. It still love this song . 💕

    I want my girl to, my daughter had passed away in 2013; her mother had revealed to me and my daughter that I was was her biological father and she had kept the truth about it because she had feared that the man who had been a father to our daughter would might have walked out on them. It revealed to me in 2006. I was a big fan of the Minneapolis Sound (Lead by Prince and the Time). But that track I had miss. After her tragic auto accident on her back to Kansas City, after she had visit to LA (Where she had finally met most of her of my family and her brother and sisters), I heard this song on the radio. And broke down and cried for many days. That's what this song means to me.😪😣😱😪😭.

    When Jesse dropped his first album, I immediately bought it and played it everyday. In particular, “I Want My Girl.” That song was my favorite track on the LP…then the video came out and my brain melted. It was so cool and felt so much like the times we were living in. Jesse’s pink stylings influenced me then and now. I am still looking for the “throwback portal,” so I can relive those moments in real time. The 80s forever!

  • @TheRTM

    Wow....I remember when this came out 🥺 there are times when I have to turn off the songs from this time when they come on, because I yearn so much to be back there in that moment of carefree youth and promise, ..the nostalgia sometimes is so overwhelming that I get very emotional....so much so that I have to stop the music and take a walk outside to settle my emotions, and clear my head. If some magical being came to me and said " Hey!...I have a time machine I can make you that kid again and bring you back to 1983. All you have to do is give up everything you have now"... (and I have a LOT) the only thing that would prevent me from jumping in that machine are my kids.... (I cannot imagine life without them)...Other than that, I absolutely would give it all up.

      Morris Day grew up in the projects, very low income, yet he enunciates and comports himself like he attended boarding school with the rich kids. Same with Diana Ross and too many others to count. Thanks for spoiling my day with a reminder of the trashy tattoo culture of hiphop that has replaced a once-beautiful culture.

    It came out when,"Around the World In A Day" was released. Him and Prince shared Susan Rogers for being their engineer. Prince let the world know he listened to the Beatles. While Jesse let everyone know he listened to "Dirty Mind."
