I heard she was originally supposed to be Michael Jackson's leading lady in the "Thriller" music video but he recasted her role once he found out she was dating Prince

Remember when she having drama feud with Madonna back in '85? damn what a good old time

I remember when she was Doja Kitty....those were the days.

The best of this is the comments section with all those fake flashbacks 😂 😂.

I remember this was playing at the roller rink where I met my wife during the summer of 82.

i remember dancing to this at my prom back in 82🥺🥰

It’s great that her daughter is now covering this song in her late mothers place. We’ve lost another beautiful soul to drugs rip Doja

I remember when everybody thought this was Madonna. I kept telling them no, this isn't Madonna. I'm glad I found this, now I can prove them all wrong. It's Doja Cat! Madonna didn't say so.

I showed my mom this song and she started crying. It’s the song my mom and dad shared their first kiss to back in 84’

Shout out to this comment section for staying in character 😹

This is the best comment section i ever seen, sharing memories that didn't exist, and dreaming about them~

This so reminds me of the drama of when everyone was saying she was dating Michael Jackson

Glad her daughter’s covering this song. Talent runs in the blood.

Remember when she performed at Buckingham Palace for the queen and took pictures with Princess Diana?? An icon

My boyfriend loved this song. You couldn’t ride in a car with him without him playing this. We long went our separate ways when we were teenagers. And I later found out he passed. I loved him so much I was gonna marry him but things just didn’t work out. I’m now happily married to my husband but I want him to know he was always my first love and I’ll love him forever. Every time I listen to this song I think of you. I miss you and I hope to see you again in another lifetime❤️

Y'all still remember this? Only 80s kids can relate 😂😂 | | \/

Teenagers these days should realize how lucky they are to still be so young and to be in highschool. I remember dancing to this song with my bestfriends at prom back in ‘87. Those were the good times, time really flies fast indeed.

This played at the “Gals and Pals” dance my high school threw for us back in 83. Miss those days. Now I’m bald

I remember when I first saw Doja performed this back in ‘84 at a club. Everyone went wild and it was one of the best shows I ever seen. Too bad all those rumors and addiction ruined her career. She could’ve been a wayyyy bigger star.

This is one of the best comment sections I've ever seen.

I remember singing this during the Black Plague. Those were the times.

guys, remember when her and whitney houston collabed ? those were the days 😩 .

She was the background singer for Vanity 6 and the Mary Jane Girls. Then she became the main singer of The Flirts for a brief period of time. Shortly after, she launched her solo career. She's now known for being a one-hit wonder, along Tiffany and Samantha Fox.

I feel so bad for all the new generations that didn’t get to experience the 80’s and the music.

I can’t believe I found this song after all this time! I was trying to find the name of this song because I remember back during the summer of ‘84, I was walking with my sister along the streets of LA at sunset and there was this guy blasting this song on his boombox and this song caught my attention and I was like “I gotta know the name of this song!” I spent the rest of my life trying to track down this song and I’m glad I was able to find it 😊 Edit: thanks y’all for all these likes 😅 I’ve never really gotten something so popular like this before so it really does mean a lot

Her daughter’s remake is great but the original just hits different 🤩

Coming back to this after twenty two years of avoiding it but I just can’t keep it down anymore. I knew a girl that dressed like her everyday and wanted to look just like her. I hit her with my car in the parking lot, and this was when they made cars with real metal so I hit her pretty hard and she passed away. When I got out of prison I heard this on the radio and cried. Rip Elizabeth 1970-1987, she finally got to say so in heaven.

I remember this song! My husband and I shared our first kiss in front of a gas station while song was playing! Sadly the “grab my ass” made her receive a lot of backlash, but she resurrected from the ashes.

That year Janet and Whitney knew they had competition. The 80s were wild man

I remember back in 1984 when this was such a controversial song because of the line "if you want it scream and shout it babe" and she received a lot of backlash and turned to drugs. Even though she's dead this song will always be in my heart. Love you doja.

yo do you guys remember when she was dating prince? it was quite scandalous back in the day. she developed a little hatred towards michael jackson because of his feud with prince. but the most surprising part is that prince caught them hooking up! can you believe it! guess the king of pop had his ways. rest in peace doja cat. that fall from the empire state building was quite brutal. anyways rest in piece ❤️❤️❤️

i wish we could go back to the 80’s i remember my grandpa singing this song to my grandma everytime, so cute, we need those mens back

i now want to see her rocking this look...

It’s like she’s immortal ! She hasn’t aged a day!!!

Her and Micheal Jackson were such a good couple, too bad they broke up in the 90s

Oh yeah!! This brings back memories ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ Summer of 84’ was crazy!.

Wow, I remember when she opened for Whitney Houston’s world tour with this song! Her career really set off after that. Before, they didn’t really take her career seriously. So glad she’ll be getting the Grammy’s Lifetime Achievement Award this time around.

I wasn’t around back when she was big, but damn my mom had good taste in music. 😔❤️

This song and Holiday were EVERYWHERE my freshman year of high school. All the girls wanted to look like Doja and Madonna with the fishnets and the hoop earrings. A shame to see how the media pitted these girls against each other back in 84.

remember when micheal jackson and doja were rumored dating? i actually wished that they were together! my husband and i met with this song, it was the time of my life... i really miss micheal and doja kitty. it great that her daughter did this cover in honor of her mom

Today’s youth will never get to experience this song playing in a mall and everyone stopping what they are doing to dance to say so. The 80s Hit different

*_i've seen so many of these memes where this was playing at someone's prom in '84 or whatever that i'm actually starting to believe it._*

If Doja were alive in the 80s, she would have totally gotten with Prince. She looks like a Prince girl.

Doja has created so many memories, I still can't believe she's gone.

Stop it guys im tired of liking all the comments

honestly this was the song played at aaaallll the roller rinks and parties and things like that, time goes too fast

Seeing this live in 84 was one of the best and wildest experiences of my life!

My daughter showed me this song and it was crazy I was her age when it came out!

oh, how I miss this. She was absolutely amazing, and I'm still in disbelief she told everyone she was retiring at that concert of '96. She was amazing, Doja. I'll never forget the first time I heard this at the old rink. 🤞❤️ We'll all miss you edit: it's been edited so it isn't as dark in a way lol

Janet Jackson and Doja Cat's friendship in '87 was everything

* *ALL THE COMMENTS* * "Well i remember when..."

Ah the 80's I remember listening to this song on the radio with my highschool sweet heart Barbra (now wife). We listening to it so much that we had to play it at oir wedding, sadly I layed her to rest in 2018 when she lost her battle to cancer. Whenever I hear thjs song now it makes me cry.

My teenager always tells me to turn off my "old-people music" whenever we're in the car. I guess she can't appreciate the 80's like I did but that's okay....

did y'all remember the rumors back then that she was secretly with Michael Jackson?

I remember her concert back in the old days. She was such a wild, free, and liberated spirit. You couldn't tell her a thing. I appreciated her beauty and how kind she was to me while setting up for her big show. Its such a shame that someone so young had to lose her life to drugs, but all we can do is move on. I know she's in heaven rocking out right now. #LLD

Oh gosh the memories... it was the summer of '82 and I remember being with my friends on the street playing this on my boombox and trying to learn the choreography 🥺🥺 Say So was such a massive hit back then, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing it. Doja was so big that even Diana invited her to her wedding to sing this song. Rest in peace Doja, we'll never have another legend like you 😓💔

The rap part tho. I remember when she mentored a lil girl named Missy Elliot. Golden days.

I remember when her and Janet Jackson almost collabed....... I was so sad when they didn’t 🥺🥺

This would be amazing for roller skating or skateboarding

I remember first hearing this when I was younger I feel in love with it 🥰 still my fav hopefully her daughter becomes just as successful as her!

these comments make me actually believe she was from the 80's like I'm in an alternate universe.DAMN.

Do you guys remember when we would hear this song everywhere we go? Seriously, She was such a hit! Gosh I miss her performing!

This song is the song that was playing when I first met my husband back in 82'. So glad we found it again and when we heard it both me and my husband started crying...

do y’all remember when there were rumors of her dating micheal jackson? good times man.

Can't believe that they're talking about this song again, such good memories of my 82' summer

I remember how controversial this song was back in the day 😂 Everyone was SHOCKED! My parents hated her! But compared to today’s common songs, this one is absolutely innocent 😂 oh how times have changed

This was my jam in ‘84. She was so talented and would have just become one of the greatest icons. I miss her!

This was my moms jam back in the 80’s. She told me that it started playing at a disco once, and she and her friends danced all night long.

Miss this era. Back when i was “str8” and pretended to have a crush on her. Rip

When I was playing this my grandma really said “Is that Doja cat!? I haven’t herd her since the summer of 82”

What a blast from the past!!!! I remember playing this back in my college dorm in 84. Good times

now this...this is real music unlike the music these kids listen to now a days

This song is so nostalgic, brings back childhood memories!

The comment section makes this so much better😭

This was a hit back in '82. I remember dancing to this at the disco, then i fell on some strange guy. Now we're married😍

times were so much more simple. i remember blasting this in middle school, back when my problems consisted of running out of aquanet and missing anthony micheal hall on snl

Y'all remember when she was bigger than Madonna and Janet

I remember when they offer this song to Janet , but Janet thought Doja could do the track better then her , so she offer it to doja.

I remember hearing this at homecoming back in 1986

Damn Doja was so amazing back in the good old days. Wow so much has changed since 1987. She was the best known 80’s Diva.

Does anybody else remember that scandal when they thought she was dating Micheal Jackson but really she was dating prince. The good old 80s

These comments are from an another universe 😵 Edit: I never got so many likes! omg thanks.

The first concert I ever went was hers in '85... Never take your youth for granted. I miss those days.

Like mother like daughter. So glad her daughter is making her remakes after her mom lost her voice 💗

I fell in live with my husband of 24 years to this song. It was at a roller ring and everyone was having a great time. He invited me to skate with him and.....well.....the rest is history. My children will never know the magic that comes from falling in love at the ring to GOOD music.

People making a joke about how they heard this in the 80's: People who doesn't understand the joke: uM tHiS iS a NeW s0nG...

My mother would turn on the tv and play this back in 84. Lord, those times were good. 😊😊

Ahh an iconic 80's tune. Brings back so many memories ☺

Everyone in the comments acting like boomers is my aesthetic. Edit: If I get one more damn comment telling me that its not right to use “boomers”- I swear y’all... please notice my emphasis now on the word “ACTING”. I’m not saying you guys are literally being boomers

Doja Cat was such an amazing artist. It’s a shame she was in that car accident in ‘89! We lost a legend that night. My entire family and I were devastated!

The gold ol' days..when music was MUSIC no bad mouthing ,no meaningless words.pure music.she paved the way for alot of singers these days

Geez Louise this brings back so many college memories #ilovethe80’s

This comment section is so confusing. I’m having an aneurism.

Ya'll remember when there was a rumour that she's dating Michael Jackson? Damn good old times. Edit: OMG thank you so much for the likes!!

great memories of the prom on 83, me and my bestfriends would always listen to her music back then, my daughter absolutely loves her daughters music as well.

I remeber when Doja, Sheila E., and Janet Jackson all went on tour together. It was the summer of 1986. I went to their concert in Canada and it was a dream come true. Man, those were the good ole days.❤

They really don’t make music like this anymore , it’s all noise so glad I can come back and listen to the classics and proper music 🙌🏻

I love how the comment section is full of sarcasm and trolls , but I feel like there are gonna be some stupid people who're gonna believe all this is real and will google these things to check as well lol

Ugghhh I remember when this came out in ‘86....those were the days
