Play Name that Tune with me again--- 1980's Edition.
I like playing name the song from the lyrics game, but I'm a dinosaur and am still living in the past. I wanna play Name That Tune with songs I have a possibility of actually naming.
So think back to the time of New Wave, post punk and funkadelica. Give me the artist, the title or more lyrics. Play with me! Here's my list 'o lyrics:

2. Word Up, Cameo. Love this whole album. My car jammin' tape!
4. What I Am, Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians 5. Jesse's Girl, Rick Springfield Now guess mine! 1. Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist Whose every move's among the purest I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine 2. The Mississippi Delta was shining Like a National guitar I am following the river Down the highway Through the cradle of the Civil War. 3. Here's a scene You're in the back seat laying down The windows wrap around To sound of the travel and the engine 4. Those soft fuzzy sweaters Too magical to touch. To see her in that negligee was really just too much. No Googling! |

Bordelond beat me to it on preview... but I don't know his.
 13) "We had some good machines But they don't work no more I loved you once Don't love you anymore" 14) "If you want to find a cop They're all hanging out by the donut shop" 15) "Not to put too fine a point on it But if there's a bee in your bonnet" 16) "We can go where we want to We can leave your friends behind 'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance Then they're no friends of mine"

O.K. correction time.
My number 3 was not Jump. But it is the Pointer Sisters. Now let's see if I can guess any-- cmkeller-- Wham's Careless Whisper. Squish's #14 The Bangle's Walk Like an Egyptian. Fish's #11 The Police Don't Stand So Close to Me. (I almost posted lyrics to this song in that Pit thread about looking at underaged girls.) |

Now I'm gonna try to see which ones didn't get answered.
Biggirl's #6 The situations never change Tomorrow looks unsure Don't leave your destinated trains What are you waiting for? Also #3 Industry don't pay a price that's fair All the common people breathing filthy air Roof caved in on all the simple dreams And to get ahead your heart starts pumping schemes. Fibonacci #9 In the deserts of Sudan and the gardens of Japan From Milan to Yucatan, ev'ry woman, ev'ry man knarf's #10 I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record/ Oh yeah well don't get so distressed/ Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed. Squish's #15 "Not to put too fine a point on it But if there's a bee in your bonnet" I hope I got 'em all. Here's one I almost know: Max Carnage's Quote:

All righty then, cmkeller's
Yes, he discovered/we are truly lovers/magic from the very start For true love can be proven, every time we're movin', even though we danced apart is still up for grabs! |

Biggirl, your # 3 is indeed the Pointer Sisters - but the song is "Neutron Dance", not "Jump".
Here's another from me: 18) Love's the only thing that keeps me here You're the reason that I'm hanging on My heart's staying where my heart belongs Chaim Mattis Keller |

Biggirl's #6 is Swing Out Sister's "Break Out" .... #19 I know baby It's hard to be strong Just take the good with the bad And don't think you're alone Cause I know All your sad goodbyes Cause I've been there before To help you dry your eyes #20 We had broken up for good just an hour before, Uh uh uh - uh uh uh uh UH ... And now I'm staring at the bodies As they're dancing across the floor. Uh uh uh - uh uh uh uh UH ... |

O.K. I think these are all the unanswered ones:
9)In the deserts of Sudan and the gardens of Japan From Milan to Yucatan, ev'ry woman, ev'ry man 13)We had some good machines But they don't work no more I loved you once Don't love you anymore" 18)Love's the only thing that keeps me here You're the reason that I'm hanging on My heart's staying where my heart belongs 19)I know baby It's hard to be strong Just take the good with the bad And don't think you're alone Cause I know All your sad goodbyes Cause I've been there before To help you dry your eyes Two from me that bracket the decade: 28) I try to play my music They say my music's too loud I kept talkin about it I got the big run around When I rolled with the punches I got knocked on the ground By all the bullshit goin' round. 29) Ahwa, a place to stay get your booty on the floor tonight make my day. and one extra, 'cause I like this song. 30) You can see the summit but you can't reach it, It's the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit, Doctor says you're cured, but you still feel the pain, Aspirations in the clouds, but your hopes go down the drain. With all this bullshit going down |
