80s songs

[mrv3000]

I saw someone mention the first song on the mst3k community earlier, and I wound up getting nostalgic on youtube. :D

One Night in Bangkok - Murray Head

Venus - Bananarama

Dance Magic Dance - David Bowie

Walk of Life - Dire Straits

Wild Wild West - The Escape Club

Karma Chameleon - Culture Club

Once in a Lifetime and Burning Down the House - Talking Heads

99 Luftballons - Nena

We Didn't Start the Fire - Billy Joel

It's The End Of The World As We Know It - R.E.M.

Everybody Wants To Rule the World - Tears For Fears (Doctor Who version)

ETA: Okay, I think I'm going to try to dig up a copy of Labyrinth to watch tonight. :D

ETA2: Can't find it. I'm watching Moonstruck instead. (I've got the DVD, but Hulu reminded me I've got the DVD. If you've never seen this movie, I'd recommend it - and you can watch the whole thing on Hulu.)

I still do the dance from the video every time I hear "Venus." Trufax.

HA!

Well, I still knew most the words to these...

[irishlullaby.livejournal.com]

Mwahahaha! O:-)

Tears For Fears (Doctor Who version) Did I miss something? *scratches head* grabbing... oh it's a video. *blushes*

LOL, if you like 80's nostalgia music you should watch Ashes to Ashes. Its full of it.

and big hair and bright make up. lol

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

HEH! Yeah. :D

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I keep meaning to do that! That and Life on Mars.

(Oh man, I had the big bangs and a perm for a while. YIKES.)

[jo-siris.livejournal.com]

Yes but its not so much fun when your hair is like that naturally. lolol

you should, both series are awesome, but A2A is better I think.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

What really sucks is that they aren't releasing the DVDs over here. Not yet, anyway. Instead we get an American remake. Bleh.

[jo-siris.livejournal.com]

You mean remake, remake, they already did a pilot and it tanked, it was actually so bad it was laughable. TBH re-doing will take the humour, cos its brit humour.

If you cant get hold of them let me know, I have them all on my external.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Oh, did it air already? Last I remember was seeing some ad on TV about a month ago, but I don't remember when it was supposed to air. I was already planning on not watching it.

And thanks! I'll sniff around to see what I can see.

[jo-siris.livejournal.com]

They made the pilot, showed it, it tanked, they recast it, moved it and filmed it again, and I think thats the one thats about to come on.

No one will ever play Gene like Phil does.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I'll never get why they just don't air it here. Give it a shot! I think people would like it!

[jo-siris.livejournal.com]

Yeah That bit baffles me too. Tho I think BBC America showed it.

Thing is, Harvey Keitel is not going to pull off the 'look at me im sexy' Gene that Phil does.

Then I dread what they woulld do if they made Ashes, cos....I cant see anyone finding him hot to ship for.

[nic]

I still don't understand why I find Gene sexy, but I do.

[jo-siris.livejournal.com]

Because he is a real man.

Not a poor excuse hiding behind pc correctness bullshit.


That and he is Yummy lol

Hmmm. I think I have the majority of these songs on CD somewhere. Certainly One NIght in Bangkok, for which I loved the orchestral introduction and the musical it came from, Venus (yes, I'm a closet Bananarama fan), Walk of Life, We Didn't Start the Fire, and Everybody wants to rule the World. I think I also have Wild, Wild, West on a compilation album. I'm such an 80s music fan.

But then I went to high school in the 80s, so what should I expect?

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I don't have any cds of 80s stuff - never thought about it, really. But I just might have to get something now.

[chiroho.livejournal.com]

According to my wife, my musical tastes never moved past the 80s. I don't think that's entirely true, but I do have a particular fondness for Australian music from that period.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I wonder why? :D

[chiroho.livejournal.com]

The strange thing is that I couldn't seem to get into the "Ashes to Ashes" series - or "Life on Mars" for that matter. Don't know why as I like Keeley Hawes as an actress (well in Spooks anyway), but I guess I just never found the time to sit down and watch it. Always meant to, as I'd like both the music and the Audi Quattro, but somehow ... It's strange as I enjoyed TV shows like "Minder" and "The Professionals" from the 70s and 80s, but this one just didn't seem to click. Perhaps I need to give it another look.

Oooh!!! *clicks and favourites*

*realises she's on her husbands YT ID*

*goes to his delete*

*smirks evily and makes tea instead*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

MWAH!

[acciochocolate.livejournal.com]

I love all those songs, esp. the first one. I'm a fan of Murray's and a great fan of Chess , the musical. :)

Laby is one of my all-time fav films.

[acciochocolate.livejournal.com]

Btw, I help run a Yahoogroup for Chess the musical, if you're interested, or if you're not already a member of the list. :)

So fun all this old stuff is out there!
