October 10, 201114 yr Another song that came to mind...okay, I can't get it out of my mind.Voices - Cheap Trick
October 10, 201114 yr 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
October 11, 201114 yr Author (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'.
October 12, 201114 yr 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.
October 12, 201114 yr Author 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.
October 12, 201114 yr Author Headstrong - 10,000 ManiacsI think I bought this album the day it came out, way back in 1989.
October 13, 201114 yr 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.)
October 13, 201114 yr Author 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.

October 15, 201114 yr Author 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)'.
October 23, 201114 yr Another great Christian song. Love this song and is a song I'd love to turn it up!
October 23, 201114 yr Author 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".
October 23, 201114 yr Drive - The CarsRemembering a song is one thing, but when a video stays with you even after 25 years, that's something else.
October 23, 201114 yr Author 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 ).
October 25, 201114 yr Author 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 .
October 27, 201114 yr Author 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.
October 27, 201114 yr 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.
