I Love the 80's: SSD edition

[Mandy]

So, today I heard this song (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=IIyv4drrgeo) on the way home from work and it sucked me back into the 80's, when my bathing suit had a skirt, my spandex pants were bunched up to my knees and my favorite beauty product was Aqua Net.

Post an 80's song you forgot existed...I need to jam while I scrap.

[iJenny]

Tee Hee! Great song Mandy! Here's a great 80s song for ya!!

We Built This City (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxGGckAc1rs)

note the stellar use of the synthesizer lol

[pewtertm]

Oh gosh I used to love that song! What about Oh Mickey by Toni Basil??? Remember the video with the cheerleaders?

I'm such an 80s gal LOL. If you've got it, VH1 Classic is having their 80 Hours of 80s Music on right now, hosted by none other than Mark Goodman, one of the original MTV veejays.

For you yung'uns (dang I feel old thinking about this), there WAS a time when MTV actually played music videos 24/7...and so did VH1 when they first came on air.

[Amber1279]

ok, don't have time to search right now ... but I will be back!!

[iJenny]

For you yung'uns (dang I feel old thinking about this), there WAS a time when MTV actually played music videos 24/7...and so did VH1 when they first came on air.

Wait, you mean MTV actually stands for MUSIC Television?!?! Whoda thunk? lol just kidding! I was born in 81 and I LOVE 80s music and I totally remember when the played music videos!! I even remember the first-ever music video I ever saw. It was Losing My Religion by R.E.M. lol
