ME too, and so far for the past 3 hrs since I heard it was 30, I have had the worst song playing in my cranium.
Video killed the radio star... Yes, you are now with me in my personal hell trying to get that song out of your mind. Next up, Burning down the House with Devo and those stupid red hats. In honor of MTV, what video do you remember the most...Thriller does not count! Billy Joel Uptown Girl is one of them on the top of my list. Can anyone without googling know if Real World was their 1st show? Do you all remember Puck?

Pima-
I have always like Billy Joel....Although he should have married Elle Macpherson  I was reminding my wife this morning about how I can recall driving to UVa to visit her and when I walked into her room, her roommate and her were dancing like crazy to Wham! The song was "wake me up before you go go" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIgZ7...feature=relmfu I also recall when we were at Parris Island coming home from the Drill Feild when her roommate was visiting us and they were dancing to Cyndi Lauper's "Girls just want to have fun"..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIb6A...feature=relmfu Not exactly the song that a Marine Drill Instructor wants to be associated with....  In my Dear Wife's defense, she also liked Bon Jovi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrZHP...=TLoQvUIrqJrQc

Thanks TPG,
Now I have Frankie Goes to Hollywood playing in my mind. Relax don't do it! God the 80 songs were horrible. Add one more to the list of horrible 80 songs. Electric Avenue....remember we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue, and then we'll take it higher. Any of you guys out there still have your white capezios or OP corduroy shorts while we are walking down memory lane to Electric Avenue? I have to admit my favorite MJ song was PYT. Still love it. PS TPG, didn't Elle marry David Copperfield? OOOHHH, new song to stick in your mind from those days 99 Red Balloons! As I stated earlier 80's music, clothes and hairstyles were on a whole a decade we should want to forget. But without the 80's Courtney Cox would never have been known. Showing my age. I believe it was Dancing in the Dark. For youngsters, She was in Bruce Springsteen's video dancing on the stage to that song. All time best Album to this day...Born in the USA 2nd: Bat out of Hell by Meatloaf 3rd:The Stranger by Billy Joel 4th: Left Overture by Kansas (Carry on My wayward son; There'll be peace when you are done; Lay your weary head to rest;Don't you cry no more..) Start the air guitar now! ~~~~~I had to put another song in your mind to get over 99 Luftballoons! 5th: Eye In the Sky by Alan Parsons Project...that is because Bullet made me listen to it incessantly from CA to Idaho!

Most of the best albums and songs were way before MTV. They didn't have videos.
The Doors, Chicago, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, 5TH Dimension (just to mention baloons), Tower of Power and oh Yeah The Beatles. Most of those also had lyrics. Pima has some good ones, Tpg's wife not so good. Last edited by AF6872; 1st August 2011 at 08:19 PM.

DD worked at her job, outdoor concert venue. DS2 asked Bullet what concert, and he replied: Def Leppard.
DS said who? Bullet thinking he didn't hear him said Def Leppard. DS replied never mind, I don't know who they are anyway! Stake into Bullet's heart, he realized he is old! AF, Chicago is one of the groups that shows your age...Peter Ceterra is the Phil Collins to Genesis. Which one are we talking about. My all time Oldies song, besides a Hollies one. Never Been To Spain (3 Dog Night)... to continue with a song in your mind...Well, I have never been to Spain, But I kinda like the music....I have never been to heaven, but I have been to Oklahoma.Well they tell me I was born there But I really don't remember; In Oklahoma, not Arizona; What does it matter; What does it matter!

Time out TPG, I am not that much younger.
I am changing the worst song ever for the 80's to Walk Like an Egyptian ! Screwed you all again with bad songs in your cranium!
