“These Are The Times” by Dru Hill

One of the few songs that allowed Jazz of Dru Hill to shine through the most, “These Are The Times” wasn’t their biggest hit, but it definitely was played over and over on the video channel, The Box (maybe because I was the one calling in for it). With its somewhat random but cool Man In The Iron Mask-inspired video (that featured Lark Voorhies), it was entertaining enough to help the song peak at number five on the Hot R&B charts and reach the 21st spot on the Hot 100. I just want to know if Babyface was really behind the hilarious Sisqo lyrics, “Tear you up in little pieces /Swallow you like Reeses pieces /Come on girl you know I need it.” Classic.
