No, that was Mr. Mister.

Asia sang that immortal paen to disco hearts and dragon's wings, "Heat of the Moment."

Yes, I owned their first two albums. What?

As opposed to Gebbie Dibson's "Lost In Your Eyes" which is a crappy song from the 1980's.

I think my husband would officially like to have a beer with you. He loves that song, too.

Lesser known, "Here's Where the Story Ends," the Sundays. Am I the only one who remembers that song?

He has the greatest 80's movies too! I loved "Better Off Dead" as well.

I can't believe the guy on Gray's Anatomy is the kid on "Can't Buy Me Love".

Big 80 fad song "Red Red Wine" UB40




And my fav Beastie Boys song "girls"

randallscott35 01-01-2007 09:07 PM

If only it squeaked in under 1990, but when "Poison" by Bel Biv Devoe goes on at a club people go freaking crazy.

pop song 89 or end of the world as we know it...:)

Okay, did anyone else mention Prince? Not only awesome songs in the '80s, but inspired Tipper Gore's idiotic vendetta to censor lyrics. Though that did give us the immortal image of Dee Snyder and John Denver seated next to each other at the hearings.
