What are the top five dodgiest songs from the eighties?

[lizzieloo]

Anything by Sonia, which I can't bring myself to post so have this for an idea

The Power of Love. by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. So badly wrong on so many different levels.

[video]http://youtube.com/watch?v=zARg_K4jRhA&feature=related[/video]

Nothing dodgy about that IMO. Awesome song.

I loved this one when I was about 8: But I did have the excuse of being 8

Used to love the dub/instrumental of this (so much better without the video and lyrics!)

 

[Citizen66]

Its just a joke. It was a concept album that was taking the piss out of the self help tapes that were popular at the time.

Right. I had no idea about that. I might acquire it.

 

[boohoo]

Or these, for that matter:

ohhh.... they are quite horrible - that put me off my tea.

 

[boohoo]

Every school disco, wedding had to play this...

Just so wrong in many ways.

or not rather - a giant bunny ( not Donnie Darko's mate or Harvey) mixes a collection of old tracks to irritate.

It's not funny - trust me... and the song is bloody awful.

Own up, who bought this drivel???

[Apathy]

wtf

man parrish too

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

wtf

man parrish too

I remember hearing a clip of that and then going out to buy it. I took one look at the cover and went "ah".
Early teen prejudice.

It all turned out for the best because I later found out that it wasn't the song thought it was. It was horrible disco not some industrial thing I got it mixed up with.

 

[Steel Icarus]

They did some of the most beautiful pop songs in history. And then they did this.

Stars on 45 had already done that shit, and better too.

Just so wrong in many ways.

Leave it out. That's genius ffs!

And they have previous.

The Frog Chorus?

 

[Edie]

Bonnie Tyler Total Eclipse of the Heart. I remember my Mum singing it and crying. "once upon a time there was light in my life, but now there's only love in the dark". Fuck sake

 

[Bakunin]

The Frog Chorus?

*Clears throat*

*Gargles water*

'Bom, bom-bom (na-na-na), bom, bom-bom (na-na-na)...'

I could do the entire tune if that would make you happy.

 

[miss minnie]

Stars on 45 Medley and all the other mono-beat medley mixes that came after...

 

[stethoscope]

Just. No.

 

[boohoo]

Just so wrong in many ways.

Leave it out. That's genius ffs!

It reminds me of going to a pub in Bootle where it was someone's office christmas party and the office workers were doing a conga to this... it was a little frightening.

 

[boohoo]

horrible children... "grandma we luv ya cos you buy us sweets when mum won't"

More soap stars singing

Well, if you hated that, I'm not at all sure if you can withstand the awesome muscal stylings of 'Miami Vice' legend Mr. Don Johnson Esq:

 

[Steel Icarus]

Have we not had this abomination yet?

 

[boohoo]

As a 9 year old I couldn't understand how this was in the pop charts.
