### <center>How appropriate, since we are in fact (at least in the northern hemisphere) smack dab in the middle of summer. ๐ŸŒž</center>

##### Oh this song... ๐Ÿ˜„ *I Wanna Sex You Up* was released March 1991 and was the first single from the bandโ€™s debut album. (Side note, did you know Color Me Badd still tours?!!! How is this even possible?).  The song made it to number 2 ๐Ÿ’ฉ on the Billboard Hot 100 and appeared on the soundtrack of *New Jack City*, a film starring Wesley Snipes and Ice-T. (The 1990โ€™s are strong in this post.)

# <center>But why does this remind me of summer?</center>

##### The summer of 1991 was right in between my Junior and Senior years of high school.  I had just turned 17 years old. Somehow my friendโ€™s little sister (who was 14) had signed up to attend a coral reef ecology and marine biology camp in HAWAII that would take place over two weeks that summer. The camp was run by the science department of a rival high school. They didnโ€™t have enough kids enrolled to attend. So a group of us signed up! Why not? ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ

*Everyone off to Hawaii in their Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts.* ๐Ÿ˜„

## <center>This was my first trip without my parents!</center>

##### We flew to Maui and stayed in cabins just outside of Lahaina. There were maybe 15 kids age 14-18 on the trip and six adult chaperones. Everyday we snorkeled or hiked. A local naturalist would teach us about the different fish we saw. 

# <center>OH! And *I Wanna Sex You Up* was on the radio multiple times a day, EVERY. SINGLE. DAY...  </center>

*Despite the tripโ€™s soundtrack, no sexing up occurred on the trip. Though I did have a crush on the shirtless 16 year old far right. #cougarbeforecougarswereathing. PS - Still in touch with the four in the center and the shirtless one!* ๐Ÿ˜„

##### Oddly Color Me Badd are in breaking news TODAY! Apparently the lead singer was trashed at a show on Sunday. While on stage he shoved a fellow band member causing the other guy to fall onto the floor. [Source](https://people.com/music/color-me-badd-bryan-abrams-arrested-attempted-assault/) And the assault happened just as the band finished singing *I WANNA SEX YOU UP*!!!!
