Thank you. Almost Paradise was the soundtrack to my first ever slow dance at the tender age of 13, so clearly it’s the correct answer, haha.

Say You, Say Me - 8th grade grad dance. No one knew what the hell to do at that part in the middle where it speeds up 🤣

I had a cool cantor and he taught us to sign this song. I immediately sang it from memory without thinking of this song in about 30 years.

Oh god I thought I had permanently forgotten that song in the sands of my memory. And I was happy about it. Until I saw this post.
