What are the top five dodgiest songs from the eighties?

[elbows]

Nena 99 red baloons video delivers cheesy 80s feel on more fronts than I had anticipated.

 

[Citizen66]

Nice bit of racial stereotyping here.

 

[Citizen66]

And there must be loads of ropey tunes that came along with the ropey films.

 

[Prince Rhyus]

^hard to dislike Gazza for this though - i think he came 1st in all time favourite england player poll the other day - theres a gazza inside us all. I Am Gazzticus!

As for this one...

 

[elbows]

I never really got what this was all about:

A might fine starting point!

Watching that video there are moments where I think they are taking the piss.

When the 70's ended people might have wondered how any decade could top that for people looking silly, well they hadnt banked on the 80s.

Bruce trying just a little bit too hard to play the part here

 

[albionism]

 

[Hocus Eye.]

I could only put up with a few seconds of that last song, but can anyone tell me if the androgynous singer is a boy or a girl?

Debbie GIbson?

She became famous at the age of 16. The following year, she was pronounced the youngest artist to write, produce, and perform a #1 single on the Billboard hot 100, with her song "Foolish Beat," and she remains the youngest female to write, record, and perform a #1 single to date.[1]

clearly a humble and insecure soul - thats what makes him such a great artiste

I cant take that song seriously because cassetteboy butchered it on The Parker tapes. Friendly boys, dog tags dog tags, thanks a lot.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Debbie Gibson of Mega shark fame.
At least she wrote all her own songs.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Totally forgot about that song.

I bought the single. It's odd because I don't really like it as a song at the time, I think I just thought it was funny.

Im sad that the steady stream of cheese seems to have ceased. More, more, at least for a few days. Surely we cant have exhausted all that decade has to offer? Im off to find at least one more.

Pepsi and Shirlie

 

[killer b]

i remembered this one freaking me out somewhat....

 

[stethoscope]

Yeah, that Karel Fialka tune used to bug me a bit when it came out.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Pepsi and Shirlie

I remember Thatcher reviewing this on Saturday Superstore. I seem to remember she quite liked it, but said it didn't sound like they were heartbroken.

Reminds me of holidays at Pontins as a kid, pissing it down with rain the whole time there and the night-time entertainment

 

[Citizen66]
