It's only really since joining this site, that I have come to realise that I am very definitely biased towards the music of the 1980's!! Almost all the music videos that I post tend to be from that era! laugh I hadn't realised it before!
I am definitely an 80's girl!! cheering cheering cheering

I know that there are a lot of other people out there that love the music of the 80's as much as I do, so I have created a thread just for us! yay yay yay


So...if you want to join in:

cool Find some good 1980's music
(best sound/vision quality if possible)

cool Post on a title and artist, so everyone can chose if they want to watch the video or not

cool If you're really nerdy like me, you could even put the year the song was released! nerd

cool And if you're even nerdier, you could add a wee sentence or two about the song! nerd


GOING BACK IN TIME TO THE 1980'S!!

dancing cheering banana cool yay dancing dog party party hat balloons dance

Thought I'd get the party started with:

Huey Lewis Lewis and The News "Back in Time"





cool this was the theme music to the 1985 film "Back to the Future"

Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer

Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who's there

Feeling unknown
And you're all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
I'll make you a believer
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal Jesus

Reach out and touch faith

David Bowie 1980



Ashes To Ashes

Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the action man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved and I've needed love"
Sordid details following

The shreiking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick...but the planet is growing

CHORUS Ashes to Ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out on heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again

I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light...but no smoking pistol

I've never done good things
I've never done bad things
I've never done anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh

Want an axe to break the ice
Want to come down right now

CHORUS

REPEAT
My mother said to get things done
You better not mess with Major Tom

Soft Cell

Tainted Love

Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain that you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

(chorus)
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh...tainted love
Tainted love

Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want IT any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you'LL think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way

(chorus...)

Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm going to pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3) peace

DOCTOR AND THE MEDICS

When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's best
When they lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky )
That's where I'm gonna go when I die (when I die )
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best

Prepare yourself, you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky )
Goin' on up to the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die (when you die )
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best

Never been a sinner, I've never sinned
I've got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky
Goin' on up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Goin' on up to the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best
Go to the place that's the best peace peace peace

1987...June....

Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin



It's A Sin
As I look back upon my life
Its always with a sense of shame
Ive always been the one to blame

For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too

Its a... its a... its a... its a sin
Its a sin

My father taught me how to be
So pure of thought.. and word and deed
He didnt quite succeed

For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too

Its a... its a... its a... its a sin

Everything Ive ever done
Everything Ill ever do
Everyplace Ive ever been
Everywhere Im going to

Its a sin

Father forgive me
I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf
Then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me
I didnt believe it
Father you fought me
Cuz I didnt care... and I still dont... understand

Now as I look back upon my life
Its always with a sense of shame
Ive always been the one to blame

For everything I long to do
Fo matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common too

Its a... its a... its a... its a sin
Its a sin

Everything Ive ever done
Everything Ill ever do
Every place Ive ever been
Everywhere Im going to

Its a sin
Its a sin
