What are the top five dodgiest songs from the eighties?

[Steel Icarus]

I owned the last two songs on this thread. Oh yes. And I had Europe's second album. On red vinyl.

 

[Citizen66]

You should have seen by the look in my eyes, baby, there was somethin' missin'...

 

[Bakunin]

I have a new thread leader, so far unrivalled in its unbearably vomit0inducing schmaltz and Gorgonzola-like cheesiness.

Yes folks, I have decided to inflict upon you the ultimate 80's ballad. I've been sadistic enough to find, to your undoubted horror and disgust, Mr Glenn Medeiros:

 

[lizzieloo]

You win

 

[Citizen66]

[littlebabyjesus]

Made it.

The first 30 seconds are actually quite promising. But oh dear oh dear after that.

Still,


Boom boom boom

let's go back to my room

so we can do it all night

and you can make me feel right


Genius.
I was singing along by the end.

 

[ska invita]

[ska invita]

[Citizen66]

Oh oh, Amadeus.

 

[ska invita]

try this - clouds across the moon by The Rah Band

thats the problem with men - they just dont know how to talk

 

[ska invita]

one of the upsides in the space that opened up in the 80s is that there was a lot more room for gay men to do their thing in pop - the last 20 years pop has been a lot more hetro-fied. in fact most of the charts is just soft (hetro) porn these days

 

[albionism]

This was the Queen Mum's favourite pop song apparently.

 

[albionism]

Anyone for a bit of BOOM BOOM ROOM

 

[miniGMgoit]

There's a pretty good list growing here

 

[Casually Red]

Oh oh, Amadeus.

that was pretty bad . Der Kommisar was much superior in my opinion

 

[Steel Icarus]

Fog on the Tyne wasn't the 80s.

This was.

 

[Steel Icarus]

 

[Tankus]

keeping it real

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

that was pretty bad . Der Kommisar was much superior in my opinion

Urban Tropical on the B side is great.

 

[Captain Hurrah]

Anything by Erasure. (That they did in the 80s that is.)

 

[Maggot]

Stevie Wonder made some great records, and some terrible ones.



Don't Drive Drunk.

 

[Citizen66]

Roland Rat ffs.



The Krankees ffs.



Oh it's 'orrible being in love when you're eight and half.



I bet she never lived that down.

The Snowmen Hokey Cokey.

 

[Maggot]

Roland Rat was great!

 

[Citizen66]

Yeah, I was a fan. The song's still annoying though.

1990 grumble grumble

Talking NKOB Steely, heres one Ive got for pissed up xmas parties



and an excuse to post this album cover:

not forgetting this one

See if you can manage to listen to this one



*talking xmas albums someone in my family pulled out 'Barry Manilow sings Xmas Shit' CD a few years back - on the liner notes it goes: "Based on an original concept by Barry Manilow"! What a cock. BAsed on an original concept by Barry Manilow is now a running joke with us

 

[Cloo]

He looks rather SurprizeButtsecks in that freeze-frame.
