Just Can’t Get Enough

by Leslie

Every so often, a song comes along that resonates with me and sort of transfigures me. You know those songs - the ones that recreate a feeling and just take you to another place. Sometimes it happens because the timing is right, and once that moment is over, the song fades away and loses its elevating effect. Some of them stick around for like 25 years, like this one: “Just Can’t Get Enough” by Depeche Mode.

A song that is guaranteed to incite a Dance Party Jam anytime it is played at my house.

A song that can pull me out of my darkest mood and make me get up and groove. Even at 4 A.M.

A song that is so yummy, they used it in this Gap commercial in 1999. Yeah, they’re all in leather and they’re all standing still. They need me in there bouncing and twirling among them, wearing blazing red leather pants. Especially around :05. Yeah, I’d like that.

“When I’m with you baby, I go out of my head…”

Come on. Let’s Dance!

I’ve never been a depeche mode fan but I have my songs that you are talking about. For me, a big one is Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cindi Lauper & I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston. Then I have my current songs that I play over and over and over…like the ones on my side bar right now in my playlist.

Again, thank you for the comment/quote on my site. It meant alot.

[…] She was right. Barney and his Prozac popping friends were singing “I Just Can’t Get Enough” by Depeche Mode. And they were dancing. Then, that purple abomination danced right through the screen, reached into my chest, ripped my heart out and ate it. Because you know how I feel about that song. (Unless you started coming here sometime after September 2006 (which is pretty much everybody) then you don’t know. And you should probably click that “you know” link up there so you can know.) […]
