80s Dance Party!

[John_Q_Public]

80s Dance Party!

That's right folks! Pull out those parachute pants,and slap on those checkered Vans. Ladies, pin the legs your jeans and rat that hair. No matter what you wear, just crank it up and dance like it's the last homecoming dance, or 1999! Come on Eileen, freak the kids out as you relive those days when you were Footloose and fancy free. Go ahead dude, take those old records off the shelf and slide across your kitchen floor in your tighty whities. (Think twice before recording it and sharing it here though….ha)

Get your pencils ready to rewind those tapes! Put a fresh set a AA batteries in your Walkman! Post as obscure a song as you like, so long as it was on the DJ’s playlist from 1980-1989. Provide a link too, if you can.

I'll start it off with this!

Frankie says….RELAX!

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walkin next to me

Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover

Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables

Reception's jumpin bass is pumpin
Look at the girl and your heart starts thumpin
Says she wants to dance to a different groove
Now you know what to do G bust a move

And I am a Material Girl

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they're O.K.
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light, that's right
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are...

She had sulky smile
She took her standard pose
As she presented herself
She had sultry eyes
She made it perfectly plain
That she was his for a price

She gave him her look
It would've worked
On any other man around
He looked her up and down
She knew he couldn't decide
If he should hold his ground

She turned, tossed her head
Unlike her opening move
Her final exit line
He waited much too long
But by the time he got his courage up
She was gone

Girls

Haha, I was standing in line the other night and someone's cellphone rang out this tune. Myself and one other person piped up "Girls!"

Back in the day
There was this girl around the way
She liked by home-piece M.C.A.
He said he would not give her play
I asked him, "Please?" he said, "You may."
Her pants were tight and that's ok
If she would dance I would D.J.
We took a walk down to the bay

 

[Kamio]

I would totally rock out to this right now

Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on
Livin' like a lover with a radar phone
Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp
Demolition woman, can I be your man?
Razzle 'n' a dazzle 'n' a flash a little light
Television lover, baby, go all night
Sometime, anytime, sugar me sweet
Little miss ah innocent sugar me, yeah​

Wild wild west

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vE5ewvxdfo

Forty-seven dead beats living in the back street
North east west south all in the same house
Sitting in a back room waiting for the big boom
I'm in a bedroom waiting for my baby

She's so mean but I don't care
I love her eyes and her wild wild hair
Dance to the beat that we love best
Heading for the nineties
Living in the wild wild west
The wild wild west

Mandy's in the backroom handing out Valium
Sheriff's on the airwaves talking to the D.J.'s
Forty-seven heartbeats beating like a drum
Got to live it up live it up
Ronnie's got a new gun

 

[Kamio]

She wore a ....

I love the rockin' songs you guys are listening, but I'm having fun right now going through all the more pop music from the 80's. Haha.

Couldn't find this video with actual sound...

Seems that I was busy doing something close to nothing
But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door

She wore a
Raspberry beret
The kind you find in a second hand store
Raspberry beret
And if it was warm she wouldn't wear much more
Raspberry beret
I think I love her
