lost_sheep3 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 Surrender - Cheap TrickThe song makes not a lick of sense, but I love it anyway.(I found a good link to this song after posting this...Surrender - Cheap Trick Quote
HossC Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Posted October 11, 2011 (12" Mix)I've been on a bit of an '80s kick musically speaking for the last 48 hours. This one's from 1985 - check out the pastel colors (it was around the time Miami Vice started), and the cutting edge visual effects. This is what 12" remixes were all about - judging by the length I'd say this is the 'Inside Leg Mix'. Quote
MaryAnne Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Legs - ZZTopA popular subject back in the 80s. ROFL Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 And here's an ode to missing parts. One word song title and one word band name, kind of a double bingo on this one. Quote
HossC Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 Not part of my usual record collection, but while we're doing the '80s. I only remembered it because it was used twice in the background of the episode of 'The Fall Guy' ('Win One for the Gipper???' from season 2) that I watched yesterday. Quote
Capt_Redneck Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Another one from the legends..enjoy Quote
HossC Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 Headstrong - 10,000 ManiacsI think I bought this album the day it came out, way back in 1989. Quote
lost_sheep3 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Just to prove I really am a little bit country, a little bit rock n' roll.Shameless - Garth Brooks (unfortunately I couldn't find a good link to the song on youtube.) Quote
HossC Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Posted October 13, 2011 lost_sheep posted 'Life in a Northern Town' over on the Musical Chairs thread yesterday. That reminded me of the following dance track from 1997 that samples of that song by Dream Academy.Sunchyme - Dario GShameless - Garth Brooks (unfortunately I couldn't find a good link to the song on youtube.)I found a video for this song on another website.

HossC Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Posted October 15, 2011 I've posted the full video, but the song (as it appeared on the album) doesn't start until about 50 seconds in. The guest vocalist, and disembodied head in the video, is Shaun Ryder from the Happy Mondays. I've read in a couple of places that the song was going to called 'It's There', but Shaun's strong Manchester accent made it sound like 'It's Dare' so they changed the name. To keep in with the Japanese theme, the single was titled '挑戦 (Dare)'. Quote
Capt_Redneck Posted October 16, 2011 Report Posted October 16, 2011 I was at this show back in 85 at the Ritz NYC...Man they ROCKED... Quote

Garrett Duke Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 Another great Christian song. Love this song and is a song I'd love to turn it up! Quote
HossC Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Posted October 23, 2011 From the influential 1986 album Black Celebration. I have to be in the right mood to listen to Depeche Mode, but when I am, they're great. As one comment on YouTube put it: "seduction and mystery". Quote
MaryAnne Posted October 23, 2011 Report Posted October 23, 2011 Drive - The CarsRemembering a song is one thing, but when a video stays with you even after 25 years, that's something else. Quote
HossC Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Posted October 23, 2011 I was in a '70s mood after posting in the Musical Chairs thread, so here's a song from 1970: Anyone outside the UK will probably be mystified by the YouTube comment "And a hint of the good old Pearl and Dean cinema ads music in the middle there!". During the '70s and '80s the 'Pearl and Dean' music would precede the adverts before every movie shown at the cinema. Consequently, a trip to the cinema didn't seem complete without hearing it - you can listen here (go on - it's only 18 seconds long ). Quote
MaryAnne Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 More 70s for ya! Going back to 1976 for ABBA...Fernando - ABBA Quote
HossC Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Posted October 25, 2011 Seeing as MaryAnne seems to like songs from the '30s ...Triplets - From the movie Band WagonThis is actually the 1953 recording because the video (featuring Fred Astaire, Nanette Fabray and Jack Buchanan) is more fun. The 1937 version by The Tune Twisters featuring Arthur Schwartz (the composer) on piano is . Very few famous people seem to share my birthday, but Arthur Schwartz is one . Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted October 26, 2011 Report Posted October 26, 2011 I'm gonna bring us back up to the 70's, with this pop-rocker: Quote
HossC Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Posted October 27, 2011 Roam - The B-52'sCindy and Kate share the vocals on this fun track. Sing along, clap along, enjoy .For anyone who's missing Fred Schneider's vocals, here's Family Guy's Tom Tucker doing his impression of Fred. Quote
Brian Coltrane Posted October 27, 2011 Report Posted October 27, 2011 And somewhere around the same era ( I think ) we had: I always think of MeadowMufn when I hear this song. Tho' admittedly, she's the one with the brains. Quote
