Umm tough choice between "Push It" and "Whatta Man" but I'll go "Whatta Man".

"Push It", "Let's Talk About Sex", "Whatta Man", and "None of Your Business" are my favorites.  :)

Well, let's see.... "Shoop" and "Whatta Man" were popular during the year I was in 8th grade, and I developed a 'guilty pleasure' for them (and I memorized the lyrics to both songs)... so I'll vote for those two. O0

Oh wait...I can only vote for one. :( Can I pick "other"?

'Push It' is my all-time favourite

I also loved 'Start Me Up' which is from the soundtrack to the 1992 film 'Stay Tuned'.  In the film, the song is performed in the hilarious scene where John Ritter becomes trapped in an MTV Music video.  Salt-N-Pepa appear as themselves

"Spinderella kick it up one time!"  ;D

They were okay. I liked a lot of New Jack Swing at the time, but Salt n Pepa were always more hip hop really weren't they. I think my vote's going to go to "You Showed Me".

Copy & paste...well, most of it. I had to add a song, which made it a bit tricky.

'Push It' is really the only song I thoroughly enjot by Salt-n-Peppa.

Absolutely no faves from this pair/trio/whatever they were...

Plenty of non-favourites, tho'... :D

'Twist And Shout' was just...just...unbearable!  8-P

The band that does the vocals with Salt-N-Pepa is named E.U. (Experienced Unlimited) and thye were a Go-Go (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go-go)band from the D.C. area. I liked the sound when it was mixed with rap on this track.

Shoop was always my favorite. It's known as a classic old school song now.

Whistledog, you forgot one song - their first and best under the name "Supernature."  The song is called "The Showstopper" and it came out in 1985.

My other favorites are "My Mic Sounds Nice" and "Push It."   

I hated the group after 1988 and found them very annoying.  Sorry fans!!!!!!

I had their 1993 album which had "Shoop" on it, and I also believe "Whatta Man" was on there, too. Fun album, although at the time I probably had no clue how risque they were talkin' but oh well, it was all good  :)

I chose Whatta Man as my favorate song.

I only went with what I saw in the charts.  I didn't know they had songs that far back
