I don't know; I just looked up the top Billboard hits of 1985. Let's have a walk down memory lane, shall we?

Billboards top Hits of 1985

1. Say You, Say Me - Lionel Ritchie Hello? This is not what I'm looking for.
2. We Are The World - USA for Africa Right. The US's "f*ck you, Band Aid, Americans can do a benefit song, too, and we'll do it BETTER. Except it won't be.
3. Careless Whisper - Wham! Back when we were still pretending George Michael was straight.
4. Can't Fight This Feeling - REO Speedwagon This song makes me crawl along the floor. To escape it.
5. Money For Nothing - Dire Straits Okay, this is a great song.
6. Shout - Tears For Fears The "Hey Jealousy" of its year. You COULD NOT ESCAPE IT.
7. Broken Wings - Mr. Mister How many bad metaphors can one song hold?
8. I Want To Know What Love Is - Foreigner Sorry Foreigner; I'm not going to show you. Because this is a terrible song.
9. The Power Of Love - Huey Lewis & the News "Don't need no credit card to ride this train" BECAUSE YOU CAN PAY CASH FOR TRAIN TICKETS. JESUS CHRIST, HUEY.
10. Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears Better than "Shout," anyway.
11. We Built This City - Starship For this song alone, the entire decade of the 1980s needs to apologize. Oh, Grace Slick, why? Why?
12. St. Elmos Fire (Man In Motion) - John Parr I made fun of this song all the time until I found out it's actually about a paraplegic athlete. Then I felt like an a**hole.
13. Everything She Wants - Wham! Okay, maybe this song is even worse than We Built This City
14. Heaven - Bryan Adams "When I'm lying here in your arms, I'm finding it hard to believe we're in Heaven" WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? He's dead and he's trapped in eternity with this person?
15. A View To A Kill - Duran Duran If there was ever a band that just strung words together and called them lyrics, it was Duran Duran. And yes, I had their poster on my wall. Shut up.

I was only 6 years old in 1985 and I knew that "Money for Nothing" was an all time great song.

I'm also pretty sure I knew George Micheal didn't like girls.
I was a pretty sharp lil dude... riding around in my parents IRoc ( t-tops out) with the rat tail flowing.

It's possible, though unconfirmed, that I may have been known to sing along to "Even the Nights Are Better" at some unspecified time and place, though rumor has it that it was a public place.

Speaking of which, there is a hilarious literal video version of "Making Love out of Nothing at All" I'll post it in Esoteric.

My brother (R.I.P.) played Air Supply non-stop in our room growing up. NON FREAKING STOP.:wf
