Day 23: A song from the 80s

My favorite "should have been a hit". A perfect power pop song.

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

Oh how annoying!!
INXS - Never Tear Us Apart

I recently was on an INXS video kick and was watching Don’t Change…they’re such babies in that video. It’s adorable.

Day 23: A song from the 80s

It's getting harder to choose just one as we go through the decades I was torn between 5 different Depeche Mode songs alone 80s music was built different.

Day 23: A song from the 80s
Rapper's Delight - The Sugarhill Gang

Still know this song by heart and sing it (my kids, old HS friends, or just people my age).

 

[BrendaBear]

Hey Donna. Still wanna? You said to ring you up when I was in Terronna.

THAT is how you pronounce the name of my hometown: "Toronto" Someone finally got it right!

Of course! Because the Kings are also canucks.

Day 23: A song from the 80s
So many choices, so many memories, and so many John Hughes movie soundtracks...lol
I'll go with this lively tune.
Enjoy!

Lovers in a Dangerous Time - Bruce Cockburn

Oh damn, my favourite so far... Thank you for reminding me of this one!
It's been quite awhile since I heard this... and it's a song that I luv!
But it's probably been decades since I saw the video. Cool. Thank you!

Day 23 A song from the 80’s

Man this prompt has been giving me anxiety all week! How do I chose? Theres too much! KROQ was playing in the background like 43.2% of the time I was alive in the 80’s!

So anyway I’m choosing this, because I was 12 and very deep and it says Parthenogenesis

And because years later it came up on shuffle on my son who was like 7 or 8 at the time piped up from the backseat “This sounds like my nightmares” wrecking me so thoroughly I’ve never played it in front of my children since.

You first paragraph gave me so much hope and I was so excited to see what you chose.

It's not a bad song but this magical decade of music and you go there?

Oh, how I love that song. It made me look up "parthenogenesis."

Day 23: A song from the 80s

I have been dreading this one. Way too many options. Metallica. Iron Maiden. New Order. Van Halen. U2, especially early U2. Cyndi Lauper. Big Daddy Kane. Beasties. George Clinton. PE. Prince. (Prince alone caused me to break down.) Grand Master Flash. Black Flag. Idle Threat. Adam and the Ants. Adam Ant. Bruce Springsteen. Motörhead. Psychedelic Furs. English Beat. Elvis Costello. The Replacements. Yaz. Blondie. GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

I almost went with Total Eclipse of the Heart, but I flipped a coin, and the original version of "Elegia" won.
I'm going to go take an aspirin and a hot shower now.

From the 80's

I am shocked and appalled that Billy Idol has yet to be chosen. Not that I can't find anything from Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dead Kennedys, or anything that inspired the next decade, but at some point this gets stuck in your head

Billy Idol "Rebel Yell" 1983

 

[Wand3rlust]

I'm not happy about this. but I just rocked out to this at the top of my voice in my car.

Oh my god. So hard to choose one. So many possibilities.

So happy you broke. I love this song. Whatever if it’s basic. It’s basically good af.

Oh my god. So hard to choose one. So many possibilities.

Falco and his possibly cocaine fueled video utterly ruined this version for me. But it’s a great song.

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

Siouxsie >>>> sushi

Siouxsie is the best. But I didn’t choose her because I knew others would.

 

[Wonderer67]

Saw them and Das Damen at the Court Tavern in New Brunswick.

At the end of Mudhoneys set (they played in and outta grace) there was not one ceiling tile left in the drop ceiling. Total fucking chaos.

never forget that night…
