Song from past or present you wouldn't admit you like to anyone else?

[LENBO]

Had this vinyl.

Bay City Rollers

S A T U R D A Y Night

Did I just actually admit this?

 

[quantumleap]

that is a classic man. me and false dmitri rewrote the lyrics to that song.....for Illini. He hates it but it rocks.

I would love to hear your new lyrics.

 

[Budworth22]

Not really sure of the "technical" differences go2.....I mean groups like Devo were considered "new wave" where synth pop, was just what it said, the overuse of synthesisers to enhance the music, basically the kind of song that sounded alot better on the radio, than in concert....LOL


Motels did "only the lonely", and a couple others,

Naked Eyes was famous for their one hit "Promises, promises" which was an awesome song, back then....


Here are some more one hit wonders, can you tell me who sang them?


"Too Shy, shy"
"Video killed the Radio Star"
"Come on Eileen"
"You Spin me round"
"people are people" ** not a one hit wonder
"I know, there's something goin on" ** Jman might know this one
"Somebody's Watchin me"
"Bas-ket-ball"
"Electric Avenue"
"Centipede"
"Suave'"
"She Blinded me with Science"
"Obsession"
"Let the Music Play"
"I touch Myself"
"I ran"

Ok, I'm only 20...
But I do know 2 of these
I touch Myself- Divinyls
I ran- flock of seagulls or seagulls..it's on my ipod

 

[daringly]

"Only in my dreams" - Debbie Gibson
"I think we're alone now" - Tiffany's bubble gum remix

ok, got that off my chest.

 

[Nomad1951]

Born to be Alive, Patrick Hernandez (disco from the 70s)
That Happy Feeling, Ber Kampfert (instrumental from 60s)

[cadillacman]

Fast car by Tracy Chapman

Your So Vain by Carley Simon

 

[Kiss1]

Anything Bee Gees ... but heck it was good stuff

:realtongu

 

[Journeyman]

Bee Gees were a victim of their own success....when you listen to that SNF soundtrack now, good stuff if in the right frame of mind.

 

[blueedwards]

mandy by barry manilow

 

[Kornholio]

I would love to hear your new lyrics.

I will bump this thread with the lyrics (best I can remember them) when I have some time.

 

[TheAce]

One of the things some of my friends don't know is I'm a 80s pop/new wave fan not all of it but some of it. They can deal with the Hall and Oates and stuff but when I put on "Steppin' Out" or "Africa" I get some strange looks. Funny that some people don't know, some of the music they listen to today is sampled from these genres.

i saw hall and oates...they opened for ELO....stole the show playing white man blues....damn good show

 

[TheAce]

"Take it on the Run"...by Reo Speedwagon

that's areally good live band.....ridin the storm out...kick ass.

 

[wilheim]
