Favorite 80's Songs?#0

One of my favorites is Heaven Is A Place On Earth by Belinda Carlisle. My friend Jenny and I always blast it in her car and drive around singing it. We think we're pretty funny.

What's your favorite 80's song?

Oddly enough, it changes for me pretty often.

As of right now it's probably "Sunglasses at Night" by Corey Hart.

Usually, it's...

The Glamorous Life - Sheila E.

I gotta get up and dance every time I hear it.

But the other one that "takes me right back there" every time is...

Everybody Wants to Rule the World

"Jaws is the Citizen Kane of movies."

"Maniac" from FLASHDANCE, "Holdin' out for a Hero" from FOOTLOOSE, and "99 Luftballoons". Yeah, I know. The eighties were SUPPOSED to be cheesy! That's what was great about them!!!

I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."

I'm slighty embarrassed to admit this, but it's "Always Something There to Remind Me." Is that even the name?

Yes, shameless --- It's the '80s cheesy remake of the Burt Bacharach song.

I love it too.

From Madonna, "Like A Prayer" and "Into the Groove" (for me, the anthem of the 80s).

"Being Boring" by Pet Shop Boys.

"Bizarre Love Triangle" by New Order.

As do I...I have the original Bacharach version, too, and I have to tell ya, I like the Naked Eyes cover better! Now, the sad thing is (at least here on the west coast), the song has been turned into a jingle for a department store. "Always something there to excite me." Gag.

Erika, that is bad.

Speaking of Madonna, "Crazy For You" is one of my favorite songs of all time.

No to be picky, but as someone who actually bought "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" on casette when it came out, I have to correct you:

"Give It Away" and "Under the Bridge" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers are from 1991. (Late September, 1991, actually.) =)

On the same note, "I Touch Myself" by the DiVinyls also came out in 1991 (January.)

"Like A Prayer" indeed is 80's. It came out in 1989.

Thus endeth the 80's lesson for today...

"I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany...come on guys, it's a given!

"Take On Me" by a-Ha

"The Way You Make Me Feel" by Michael Jackson

And I have a very special place in my heart for "Gangsta Gangsta" by N.W.A. It kills me.

I was not sure whether they were late 80's or early 90's.

I remember talking about the Peppers in the mid 80's with friends when they were touring some college venues, and I did not think that there were 6-7 years between the conversation about "this cool band" and the release of that specific album.

Thanks for letting me know for sure.

Can we just give quick props to volumes I and II of The Wedding Singer? The soundtrack alone is what has me jazzed for the upcoming Broadway show!

Oh, and everything Jacko from the '80s. Everything.
