80's Hit Song Review: "Say It, Say It" by E.G. Daily (1986)


U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 70

Backstory: Elizabeth Ann Guttman, better known as E.G. Daily was born in 1961 and grew up in the Los Angeles/ Hollywood area. During the 80's, she appeared in films such as Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Valley Girl. She started her singing career sometime in the mid 80's, and then released this following single which was a huge No. 1 smash hit on the Dance Charts, but only made it as high as No. 70 on the actual Hot 100. It would be her one and only song to ever chart on the Hot 100. She would, however, have a couple more songs on the Dance Chart, including "Mind Over Matter". Daily is also incredibly well known for being a voice actress, including playing the voice of Tommy Pickles on Rugrats and Buttercup on The Powerpuff Girls. Quite recently, in September of 2013, she even appeared on The Voice.

The Review: This is a really nice and catchy synth pop style dance song with a nice beat. Daily also has a really nice and solid singing voice as well. It definitely deserved to do a lot better on the Hot 100. The film noire style music video was also very cool and interesting. Can't believe it only got to as high as No. 70 on the actual Hot 100.

Final rating: 9/10
