Posted: 11/1/05 at 2:43pmIt's not "Lesser Known", but I'd like to add Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds, also know as "The Breakfast Club Song." Last Friday a guy walked by me singing it and now I can't get it out of my head. "Don't you forget about me..."

Posted: 11/1/05 at 2:45pmL4C- I don't know, but I used to wear big sweatshirts and stirrup pants with my socls scrunched down around my ankles. SOmetimes I even wore two pairs of socks in different colors at the same time all scrunched up. With a sideways ponytail, of course!

Posted: 11/1/05 at 3:01pmIf anyone else remembers "My Obsession" by Anemotion, let me know. It had a hilarious filmclip made for about $2.00 that had them dancing round a swimming pool, and a line about "what do you want me to be to make you sleep with me" . Also "Queen of Hearts" by Juice Newton has been unjustly overlooked.

Those are both great ones, beer.
L4C- I always wanted a sweatshirts like that but I could never get mine to look that cool. I still wouldn't mind having one.

Posted: 11/1/05 at 3:15pmAm I the only one that doesn't see how any of these qualify as lesser known? Perhaps I was just too entrenched in the 80s music scene...

Posted: 11/1/05 at 3:17pmAlso "Dracula's Tango" by Toto Coelo, "Man Eater" by Hall and Oats, and anything from the Stock,Aitken & Waterman portfolio, especially "I'd rather jack" by the Reynolds Girls, about a now quite obscure dance move. "Heavy metal, rock and roll, music from the pack, I'd rather jack...than Fleetwood Mac" Superb song writing.

What a decade...
I know mine haven't been lesser known, but they're the ones I can remember. For now.
And, I'm thinking I need to put some of them on my iPod!

Beerchild- i totally remember the Animotion song/video.
Speaking of videos, though not "lesser known," the video for YES' Owner of a Lonely Heart scared me to DEATH as a kid.
