Way Back Wednesdays: Skee-Lo- I wish

Hello? I never realized how short Skee-Lo actually is! I was 11 when he came out with this joint and I guess he must have seemed tall to me. "I Wish" came out in '95 and was nominated for a Grammy in '96, The song samples "Spinnin'" by Bernard Wright. If you listen to the lyrics, Skee-Lo was actually right on point. The songs main focus is to point out how people try to acquire material items or status symbols in hopes for happiness. The moral of the song is that people should learn to appreciate what they have.
