Hadn't heard THAT song in awhile...

So I was waiting for my order at Burger King and Hall & Oates' Out of Touch came over the PA system. Made me smile. Can't say it was a big favorite but I liked it well enough, and I remember when it came out/seeing the video.

It's one I know I hear less frequently than its comtemporaries - and I listen to 80s stations sometimes, and certainly check out 80s CD compilations. It was a big hit - two weeks at number one, and ranked the #13 song for 1984 (between Owner of a Lonely Heart and Time After Time) per the Billboard Hot 100.

(But that's the nature of things, I guess. I get K-Tel records with hits or semi-hits that may very well have been the hottest thing at the time they were pressed - the 70s, of course - but were completely unfamiliar to me.)

Well, anyway...BIG BAM BOOM!

So, you guys hear any semi-long-lost stuff lately?

m-e-t-h-o-d o-f l-o-v-e, that's the method to modern love .... wink totally !

I'm listening to an '80's music internet radio station as I type:

"I can't understand, what makes a man, hate another man ..."

I'm such a child of the '80s it's not funny -- I watch VH1's "I Love the 80's" almost whenever it's on.

I think '80s pop/new wave is just about the happiest music I can think of -- "Take On Me", "Time After Time", "Life in One Day", "Heart Break Beat" -- it's all good, baby!

Private Eye by Hall and Oates and Physical by Olivia Newton John. I, too, am a child of 80's music.

While I was at the store impulse-buying the pudding, the non-Muzak system played Elton John's Nikita. A little dated (lyrically at least) now. And remember the video? Elton wanted the wall to come down so he could show the hot border guard the joys of democracy, chiefly bowling.

I loved Glass Tiger. The lead singer was a cutie smile I loved "Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone"

Yeah... that was back in the old days, when I would buy a cassette if I thought the band was cute. Goodness knows I would NEVER do that nowadays smile

Well, almost never wink

Y'know who else I just adored? LIMAHL from Kajagoogoo. OH! The unspeakably debaucharous things I wanted to do to his hot bod...!

I also had a giant crush on Corey Hart.

It didn't hurt that he performed in that video barefoot.

I would have started the unspeakable debaucharies with his feet and moved North from there...

This happened two years ago, but it touches on some things I've mentioned in other 80s music threads.

So I was out & about, thriftshopping and wandering around. It was raining & I was a little hungry. I saw a signboard outside a cafe advertising hot chocolate. That appealed; I went in. (The place was called Saints & Scholars and it's a good thing they didn't check credentials as I fail to qualify either way.) So while I was swilling my cocoa & having a bite to eat, Rebbie Jackson's Centipede came over the stereo system. It had been...15 years maybe? since I'd heard it. You could have told me the lyrics & they wouldn't have meant a thing to me. But once I heard the song start up....

(And that's why I'm looking up old charts - to find songs I've forgotten but want to hear again even though I don't know it.)

Oddly, a song that was a hit (more of less, it was on MTV all the time) that I haven't heard on any station regardless of format since I don't know when: "T.V. Dinner" by ZZ Top. Oh, I know it's not the crowning moment of their career or anything but still... that video with the little monster creeping out from under the tin foil was pretty damn cool, all things considered.

In the last couple of weeks I've rediscovered two of my favorite 80's songs that I hadn't heard in ages--"Give Me Tonight" by Shannon and "No More Words" by Berlin. Back in the day, my best friend and I used to ride around in her old Nissan Sentra listening to both of those. I downloaded them both from iTunes and surprised her with them on my car stero the other day. We had fun rocking out to them again!

I wonder what ever happened to Shannon and Terri Nunn (lead singer of Berlin)?

Both Terri and Limahl appeared last year on BANDS REUNITED on VH1. Personally, I thought both had aged very well!

Berlin's LOVE LIFE (which contains "No More Words") is probably the 80s cassette (yes I still have all my cassettes!!) I listen to the most today. Great album! Gotta get it on cd, that tape won't last forever. Don't know why I didn't already, I bought Berlin's PLEASURE VICTIM (also a lot of fun!) on CD years and years ago.

Well, speaking of "blasts from the past"--is anyone going to watch that NBC show "Hit Me Baby One More Time" Thursday night? Apparently it's American Idol-ish, but with former stars trying to win the chance for a comeback. Tiffany, Sophie B. Hawkins, Tommy Tutone, Wang Chung and a bunch of others. Apparently it was a show in the UK first? (Matthew?)
I'm going to try to watch it, but it sounds a little sad!

Me too, Lash!

I *loved* so many of the one-hit-wonders of the 80's, too. Lash, you mentioned Corey Hart. I liked "Sunglasses at Night" but I really preferred "Never Surrender." I used to dress sorta like Corey did in his videos, kinda like a boy Madonna. Gave some people the wrong impression, but being cheeky like that was great fun for me in the 80's. Aw, I was SO young then...
