I’m almost certain there was at least one other It Takes Two…female singer, 120-ish pace, kinda like the hiphop version but not hiphop.
My high school had a habit of having the first Prom Committee meeting at a time when it was pretty much inconvenient for everyone. My senior year, there were only three guys there. All were Zeppelin fans, and since “Stairway to Heaven” had been used a few years earlier, they chose “All My Love” for the theme.
At the prom, after the king and queen were crowned, the DJ said, “And here it is, the 1996 Lee County High School Prom Theme!” He then proceeded to play some horrible R&B track (specifically, the genre a friend of mine calls “Ooh Girl” music) entitled “All My Love”. Everyone just stopped dancing and looked confused. Someone explained it to the DJ, who didn’t even have the right song on him.
Fortunately, one hero happened to have his copy of “In Through the Out Door” out in his truck.
