I'm watching VH1's re-run of their One Hit Wonders series. Oh my goodness I love the music of the 80's! You can tell from my playlist that the 70's are my all time favorite but wow...what fun the 80's were.
It's Raining Men...
Funkytown...
Goody Two Shoes...
I Want Candy...
Cruel Summer...
The Lady in Red...
Funky Cold Medina...
Chaka Khan...
Blondie...
I'm couch dancing and singing at the top of my lungs along with the TV. Hope you're getting your 80's groove on, shaking your "big ol butt" and Putting on the Ritz!
Now everyone.... SAFETY DANCE! Let me know if you have a favorite 80's song; I'd love to know what makes you do the "white man's overbite".
Best wishes and high hopes to you!
Jennie and all of my pretty pop music puppy princesses
Sidewalk Talk by Jellybean. I don't know why I always loved that song but I did. DH found it on the internet where I could listen to it and it didn't hold the appeal it once did. Love all your list of songs. Especially Safety Dance. I remember DH at a high school dance, being the only one to dance to the song 'I Dance Alone'. ha I still remember. He made us all laugh. Still does.

Sorry sweetie!! I rock out to the 60's songs. LOL I was totally in love with Paul McCartney!! Had his picture plastered all over my bedroom along with a select few others. Thanks for sharing your memory. I loved the visual images of people on their couches screaming their lungs out in song. ROFL

Jenny,
ReplyDeleteThere are so many 80's songs I love. Buffalo Girls by Nena Cherry can get me going, amongst so many others. I've been watching the VH1 special also. I really get a kick out the comedians that comment on the songs!

I just love those VH1 specials! Especially that show they had where they reunited old bands. That was great! I am a girl of the 80's and have so many tunes from the day. I remember skating to all of the Michael Jackson songs, "wanna be startin' somethin...". And of course, any Adam Ant song is on my list. Oh my, I just loved those white stripes on his gorgeous face. And you can't forget "Tainted Love". xoxo
ReplyDeleteFirst of all your playlist is great. I forgot about Been Around the World by Lisa Stansfield and had to play it. I want to go on record and say that there will never be another decade with such awesome music as the 80's had :) There are so many songs from then that I love that I can't pick a fave. I will say the one that will get me up and moving and all happy is 'walking on sunshine' by katrina and the waves. Love that one. Def Leppard was probaby my fave group and U2 which is still awesome. Okay, i think i will stop there. I am going to have to listen to my 80's cds later. Have a great weekend.
