July 22, 200421 yr It's in that new commercial also for(I forget which cellular CO) too Yeah, it's in that Cingular commercial.
July 22, 200421 yr We are the Champions by Queen... I love that song Love Shack by the B-52s (i think that's their name) St. Elmo's Fire by ? There's a lot more I could list. I don't listen to these songs all the time, but I still do sometimes b/c I burned a CD with all 80s songs a couple of months ago.
July 22, 200421 yr cant forget oingo boingo's opus of a single... "little girls" that video is just plain INSANE "i love little girls, they make me feel so good i love little girls, they make me feel so, bad when they walk all over me they make me feel like im the only guy in town they dont want to scold me they dont ask me questions they just want to hold me isnt this a dream come truue iiii loove little girls they make me feel so GOOD iiii loove little girls they make me feel so BAD" that video is freaky s***znittly bang bang booooo HA something like that :dips***
July 22, 200421 yr Oh...I was dying in your arms tonight...it must have been something you said... Early 90's-Vanilla Ice copying Queen, formerly copying David Bowie. Not to mention Princes masterbation lyrics which slapped on Parental Warnings...damn you Tipper, you ain't trippin boo
July 22, 200421 yr Always Something There to Remind Me and Jenny Jenny were both good calls. I'll add: Ah! Leah! - Donnie Iris the Beat Goes On/Awitchin' To Glide - The Kings My Sharon-a - the Knack (even though it was released in 1979, it's an 80s song at heart) Along with Jenny Jenny, these are pretty much the New Wave anthems that I still get a kick out of. Honerable mentions: No One is to Blame - Howard Jones In a Big Country - Big Country Land Down Under - Men At Work (a buddy and I used to do a kicking acoustic version of this back when I played out more) And my embarassing 80s guilty pleasures... Prince and most anything off of the first couple Huey Lewis and the News albums Hey, admitting I have a problem is half the battle, right?
July 22, 200421 yr cant forget oingo boingo's opus of a single... "little girls" that video is just plain INSANE... Danny Elfman sure has come a long way from the Oingo and/or Boingo days, huh? I'm sure Danny got a kick when Blender put them at #16 on their 50 worst bands of all time list.
July 22, 200421 yr 867-5309 is way up there... what about some of those Billy Idol Songs? Rebel Yell, You Spin me Right Round I dunno if this is 80's, but Duran Duran? Hungry Like the Wolf, Her Name is Rio, View to Kill, Ordinary World... Devo, too...
July 22, 200421 yr Danny Elfman sure has come a long way from the Oingo and/or Boingo days, huh? I'm sure Danny got a kick when Blender put them at #16 on their 50 worst bands of all time list. that band was just plain greatness for their insanity... they should be #16 on the top #50 in blender... assclowns
July 22, 200421 yr CLASSICS - "I Eat Cannibals" - Total Coleo "Head Over Heels" - Go-Go's "Head Over Heels" - Tears for Fears "Mexican Radio" - Wall of Voodoo "Peek-A-Boo!" - Devo "The Look of Love" - ABC "Close to the Edit" - Art of Noise THE WORST - Anything by Wang Chung Anything by Madonna Anything by Prince or Princely by-products (Sheila E, et al) Anything by Twisted Sister, especially "Leader of the Pack", starring Bobcat Golthwaite Anything by the Beastie Boys Any of that other talking s*** AND THE GREATEST SONG EVER. I MEAN EVER, IN ANY DECADE, IN ANY CENTURY, AND IT CAME FROM THE 80's - "The Whole of the Moon" - the Waterboys AND THE ULTIMATE FANTASY FROM THE 80's - THE ULTIMATE WOMAN... (Drumroll)
July 22, 200421 yr "Always" - Atlantic Star "Heaven" - Warrant (one-hit wonder) "Self Control" - Laura Branigan "Tainted Love" - Soft Cell
July 22, 200421 yr what about some of those Billy Idol Songs? Rebel Yell, You Spin me Right Round If you're gonna mention Billy Idol songs, can't forget "Eyes Without a Face." I still get a kick out of listening to it!
July 22, 200421 yr Early 90's-Vanilla Ice copying Queen, formerly copying David Bowie. No. Queen sang that song with David Bowie.

July 22, 200421 yr "Take On Me" by the Ah-ha I just watched Detroit Rock City last night. Great movie... lots of great 70s and 80s songs. The best cowbell song of all time, of course, Blue Oyster Cult's Don't Fear The Reaper, although it was released in '76...
July 22, 200421 yr The best cowbell song of all time, of course, Blue Oyster Cult's Don't Fear The Reaper, although it was released in '76... Yes! Awesome. Don't get off topic now. All our times have come Here but now they're gone Seasons don't fear the reaper Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain We can be like they are Come on baby... Don't fear the Reaper Baby take my hand... Don't fear the Reaper We'll be able to fly... Don't fear the Reaper Baby I'm your man... Valentine is done Here but now they're gone Romeo and Juliet Are together in eternity... Romeo and Juliet 40,000 men and women everyday... Like Romeo and Juliet 40,000 men and women everyday... Redefine happiness Another 40,000 coming everyday...We can be like they are Come on baby... Don't fear the Reaper Baby take my hand... Don't fear the Reaper We'll be able to fly... Don't fear the Reaper Baby I'm your man... Love of two is one Here but now they're gone Came the last night of sadness And it was clear she couldn't go on Then the door was open and the wind appeared The candles blew then disappeared The curtains flew then he appeared Saying don't be afraid Come on baby... And we had no fear And we ran to him... Then they started to fly They looked backward and said goodbye We had become like they are We had taken his hand We had become like they are Come on baby...don't fear the reaper
July 22, 200421 yr Van Halen - 5150. That whole album just kicks ass. Scorpions...Again Kicks ass. Actually, the mid 80's were my high school years, so there is sooo much of it I like because that is what we were bombarded with. I don't particularly care for alot of that whiny european, soft rock crap that was out though. Gimme 80's metal and I am fine.

Damn, I forgot about the Scorpions... If you want 80's metal... Metallica. Ride the Lightning is still one of my favorite albums of all time, even though I didn't buy it until about 10 years later when I was more "of age." Of course Master of Puppets kicks ass, too...

July 22, 200421 yr With the cheesey 80s stuff, was I the only one into rap/hip hop back then? I was a big Fresh Prince fan. Also liked the Fat Boys, Run DMC and those kind of groups.

I liked Fresh Prince. I don't know if I'd call myself a "big fan", even if I was one. I liked the old LL Cool J stuff, too.
