1980s Songs I Like

The Warrior-Patty Smyth and Scandal #7 Hot 100

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47y5bo8wtqM

Good audio on this. Video is kind of creepy. Big Divider between Album and Rap audiences. Big in Northern Michigan, Big in Canada.

Is THAT where they got the idea for the 486-SX?

Great tune CK, I do love the 80’s, Had a chance to spin the records and DJ At WLBS 102.7 on both the Disco and New Wave Formats, It truly was great. Did a lot of clubbing in those days.

Check out 80s Canadian band "Doug and the Slugs".
They used to come on CKUE when it was Lite FM.
Amazing band.

And:

My favorite from The Payolas is "Never Said I Loved You" featuring Carol Pope.


LOL, we have hijacked the thread and turned it into Canadian songs from the 80s

Safety Dance-Men Without Hats #3 Hot 100 #1 Cash Box

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjPau5QYtYs

I really like the video, as goofy as it is, especially the little dog cameo right before the 1:00 mark. The dancing blonde is very enthusiastic.

But I also always liked the longer edit also, especially the "keyboard octaves" and the hand clapping near the end.

I remember riding along River Road, South of Petoskey, with my radio with a signal strength meter, trying to see the WJML 1110 towers. It was 1982, and "Safety Dance" was the last song before signoff, and just as the signoff ended, the carrier was cut and I missed it. Didn't make it to 2175 Click Rd. until a few years later. It happened more than once in my tower searches.

I must have over 200 CD’s of Canadian Music half of them are multiple artists compilations. There’s one that’s a 6 CD set that covers all 70’s material Great stuff.

When I was managing that yogurt store I've mentioned, I would always throw in a lot of Candian songs that played heavily on CKUE on the CDs I made for the speakers.

Here's another one that has a strong like/dislike dichotomy.

I Can't Wait-Nu Shooz #3 Hot 100

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ1tBVtYOBc

I like the dog in this video also. Ever notice how a dog gives instant credibility to a video, TV show, or movie? The dog is waiting to get fed by its master, and counting the seconds throughout the video.

Valerie looks like she is a Bioengineering Major. Why else would she be looking at microscope slides, and taking a dripolator apart with wrenches and looking at CAD CAM drawings of the parts?

And of course, the old fish in the dripolator gag.

It’s an OK tune, I’ll give it an 89, It’s got a good beat, but your can’t dance to it 😆
