"I Can't Wait" is a 1986 hit song by Nu Shooz from the album Poolside. The song is noted for its instantly-recognizable bassline and for its catchy "uh-uh uh uh uh uh uh-uh!" sample chorus.
In the United States, the song reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on Billboard's dance chart in 1986. In fact, its chart run coincided with that of a Stevie Nicks song also titled "I Can't Wait" (a rare incidence of two different songs with the same title charting at the same time). In the United Kingdom the song reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart.
The extended "Long Dutch Mix" contains more samples (such as "c'mon!" from Madonna's "Into the Groove"), and takes the pitchshifting of the chorus even further, creating an eventual "pitchdown" at the ending.
A rap cover of the song, "I Can't Wait (To Rock The Mike)" by Spyder-D was released shortly theareafter. The song was covered in 2002 by British R&B group Ladies First and reached #19 on the UK chart.
In 2007 the music was replayed in a remix for Paula DeAnda's single "Easy", featuring a rap appearance by Bow Wow, this song was produced by a production team by the name of The Flyntstones.
The song was also mashed up with Snoop Dog's Drop It Like It's Hot by dj BC in a song called "Snoop's Nu Shooz."
