Favourite 80s pop song

[SueEllen]

The "Birdies Song" was penned by Dylan and Lennon: hence it's all about the lyrics. Close you eyes when the video plays and listen to the lyrics closely. Then you will understand. Your life will never be the same.

There are no words to the version you linked to. It's just Leggs and co dancing.

Anyway I've found the worse song of the 1980's

And the worse singers of the 1980's

Well as 2015 is feeling very much like the 1980's. What with Russia's intervention in Ukraine by Putin and Tupolev TU-95 Russian bombers making monthly sorties towards UK airspace, only to be intercepted and turned back by the RAF.
Have we reached Defcon2 yet ???

I think it's about time we played Nena's 99 Red Balloons.

Nena - 99 Red Balloons

On a more serious note my favourite 80's song sung in a Scottish accent

Favourite Abba song

The start of big things:

Anything by The Pixies but this will do.

Not pop? How about this. (Sorry Bunk):

This is the first time I have admitted it as an adult. I have a soft spot for INXS:

Too much good stuff from the 80's

And not even got into the beginnings of House and Dance. Might resume tomorrow

Wow - I feel old. Can't believe Bleach was released in 89.

There are lyrics - you are just not listening closely enough. Free yourself (and remove your focus from the near-naked dancing women.)

You didn't like the original that I posted earlier in the thread? Philistine!

[Hugh Jardon]

Oh Vienna!

The music is weaving
Haunting notes, pizzicato strings
The rhythm is calling
Alone in the night as the daylight brings
A cool empty silence
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky
It fades to the distance
The image has gone Only you and I
It means nothing to me

1981 - Ultravox

Stayed at number 2 for many weeks, due to an Ozzy with 'Shut uppa your face'.

John Wayne is Big Leggy - Haysi Fantayzee

How could you not love a song about John Wayne having anal sex with an Indian squaw that got played on children's TV and Top of the Pops?
