Each round, one classic 80s song will go up against another and WE determine the victor! The game continues as long as there is interest! New rounds daily (or so).


ROUND ONE


GHOSTBUSTERS by Ray Parker, Jr


vs.


I WANT A NEW DRUG by Huey Lewis & The News

Both songs are pretty crappy, but I'm going to give this one to Huey Lewis & the News for 2 reasons.

a) It was the original that Ghostbusters (illegally) sampled from

b) The video features Huey lookin' pretty hot in his boxers

Huey, definitely. I don't want to get sued or anything, plus "Sports" was one of my favorite albums when I was a wee lad. I don't remember if "I Want A New Drug" was on it or not, I'm just saying.

[Cosmic Boy] Ghostbusters was a fun movie when I was young but I like men in their boxers so I Want a New Drug too! [Cosmic Boy]

I've never heard Huey Lewis' 'I Want A New Drug' and never knew the Ghostbusters song sampled it. Therefore I don't believe you! [Wink]

My vote's for Ghostbusters.

I'll go by what I feel is still listenable today and that would have to be 'I Want a New Drug'.

While I like both songs 'Ghostbusters' just hasn't held up as well.

Both songs are drum-heavy good-time larks that I like, so this is hard for me.

But I think I'm going to give the slight edge to teen nudists Bow Wow Wow. A true classic song!

I'm right there with you Lash. Both of these capture the same feeling, to me.

But I'll go with 'I Want Candy'. Besides, didn't one of the teen boppers just remake, and butcher, 'We Got the Beat'?

[Phantom Girl] I'm struggling with most of these anyway but I've never heard of Bow Wow Wow. Therefore, I vote the Go-Gos! [Phantom Girl]

I feel like I've heard *of* Bow Wow Wow but I wouldn't have a clue what they've ever sung.

It wouldn't matter anyway though because I absolutely love the Go-Gos and especailly 'We Got The Beat'!

WE GOT THE BEAT!

I like both songs about equally. But I'll give the nod to the Go-Go's since they wrote their tune and "I Want Candy" was a cover.

"Never heard of Bow Wow Wow...?!!!" You younguns today, I swear! With your 50 Cents and your Outkasts! BAH! [Wink]


No shit... last night someone played GHOSTBUSTERS on the jukebox! You can imagine my surprise. I was even MORE surprised that I really enjoyed hearing it!
