It’s been a while since I’ve bought any new CD’s. So I went to Wal-mart this morning to buy a few, I’m looking around for something new and interesting to buy, but Wal-mart doesn’t really have a great selection, so I started to leave, when a CD catches my eye. By the time I left the store I had purchased, Monsters of Rock, Monsters of Rock 2, Monster Madness, Monster Ballads, Monster Ballads 2 and the best of the bunch is something called It Came From The 80’s with Pop Muzik, Tainted Love and a lot of other old and weird stuff on it.
“My name is Ted, and someday I’ll be dead yo,yo,yo” from I Wanna be a Cowboy.
Hey, if liking 80’s stuff = dorkdom, then I’m a dork, too and proud of it! I have about 7 CD’s worth of all those songs -from ABC to the Specials to Yaz and just about everything in-between.
I was in Jr. high and high school during the early and mid-80’s and remember hearing all this stuff for the first time!
Cricket walks off, humming Take on Me and doing the Tarzan Boy yodel…
And what about the new Visa commercial (I think it’s a Visa commercial) that features orangutans and has the Specials’ Monkey Man playing in the backround? Yah-yah-yah, Yah-yah-yah…
Hey, not all 80’s musik was dorkdom (although I’ve done the sing-along with most of the dork tunes…)
I like quite a few of the 80’s hits like Fine Young Canniballs’ “She drives me crazy”, Men Down Under, Stary Cats, Adam Ant. Oh well, it is all dorky, but I still like it. Rock in general, no matter what era, is great with me.
Hey, I was only 3 when Jimson Jim and mcms_cricket graduated highschool, and the majority of the music I listen to is 80’s. Devo, B-52’s, Duran Duran, The Cure…and so forth.
Believe you mean What’s On Your Mind (Pure Energy) by InSoc. I’m one of their biggest fans If you can find the Club Mix of that song, get it; it’s twice as good!
I just knew someone was going to correct me on the song tittle. I remember hating the video when I was younger, but now I find it really cool. Unfortunately, I’ve always been horrible with song tittles. Hell, I’m suprised I even got the band’s name right.
'89 grad here.
I nearly had tears in my eyes the first time I heard a school I remember from my school years on the Oldies station. The radio station that I listened to in high school has their “Flashback Lunch” where they play all the great '80’s stuff that I loved in school.
When did we grow old?
