Hey all you children of the 80's...I want to know the lyrics of your favorite songs from back then...yeah i know you deny listening too it now...but we all know how much you really liked it ...so share..

Here is my start:

Jessie is a friend
Yeah, I know he’s been a good friend of mine
But lately something’s changed that ain’t hard to define
Jessie’s got himself a girl and I wanna make her mine

And she’s watchin’ him with those eyes
And she’s lovin’ him with that body, I just know it
And he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that

I play along with the charade
That doesn’t seem to be a reason to change
You know I feel so dirty when they start talkin’ cute
I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot

‘Cause she’s watchin’ him with those eyes
And she’s lovin’ him with that body, I just know it
And he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that

Like Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman
Where can I find a woman like that

And I’m lookin’ in the mirror all the time
Wonderin’ what she don’t see in me
And I’ve been funny, I’ve been cool with the lines
Ain’t that the way love supposed to be

Tell me
Where can I find a woman like that

You know I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I want Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that

Like Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
I want, I want Jessie’s girl

*swoon*.... good thing my 80's big hair will prevent brain damage when I hit the floor;):p

Here is one

Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and liten to'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like the that old time rock'n'roll
Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock'n'roll
Still like that old time rock'n'roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock'n'roll
Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock'n'roll
Call me a relic
Call me what you will
Say I'm old -fashion
Say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock'n'roll
Still like that old time rock'n'roll
That kind of music just soothes my soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock'n'roll
:D

Oh Mikky You So fine
You so fine you blow my mind
Hey Mikky (clapclap-clap)
Hey Mikky (clapclap-clap)

Oh Mikky You So fine
You so fine you blow my mind
Hey Mikky (clapclap-clap)
Hey Mikky (clapclap-clap)

I won't go any farther....that should be enough to have you all singing for the next 3 days or so.

Bah, I remeber the 80s, I am glad they ended 12 years ago. although sometimes I would like to turn back the clock maybe 10 years to like 1992, just so I could see what would happen if i made diffrent choices here and there.

nuthin good came from the 80's, myself included.

I could only post to this like 45135876131 times.

Step inside, walk this way, you and me babe, hey hey! - Def Leppard

Rag doll livin in a movie, hot tramp, daddy's little cutie, you're so fine, never see you leavin' by my back door - Aerosmith

SSSSSSS-AAAAAAA-FFFFFFF-EEEEEEE-TTTTTTTT-YYYYYYYY Safe-Safe-Safe-Safe- Dance-Dance-Dance-Dance - Men Without Hats

Josie's on vacation far away, call her up and talk it over, told me anything I want to say, you know I love my girls a little bit older, I just want to use you love tonight, I don't want to lose your love tonight. -- Outfield

More to come!

CK

iiiiyyiiiiiyyiiiii
crazy but thats how it goes
millions of people living as foes
maybe it's not too late
to learn how to love
and forget how to hate
mental wounds not healing
life's a bit a shame
i'm going off the rails on a crazy train

there i finally found that at least one good thing came out of the 80's

DEFINITION OF NOTHING GOOD



Wake Me Up Before You Go Go
By: Wham!
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug

You put the boom-boom into my heart
You send my soul sky high when your lovin' starts
Jitterbug into my brain
Goes a bang-bang-bang 'til my feet do the same
But something's bugging you
Something ain't right
My best friend told me what you did last night
Left me sleepin' in my bed
I was dreaming, but I should have been with you instead.

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah)

You take the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same

'Cause you're my lady, I'm your fool
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on, baby, let's not fight
We'll go dancing, everything will be all right

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight
I wanna hit that high (yeah, yeah, baby)

(Jitterbug)
(Jitterbug)

Cuddle up, baby, move in tight
We'll go dancing tomorrow night
It's cold out there, but it's warm in bed
They can dance, we'll stay home instead

(Jitterbug)

Wake me up before you go-go
Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Wake me up before you go-go
I don't want to miss it when you hit that high
Wake me up before you go-go
'Cause I'm not plannin' on going solo
Wake me up before you go-go
Take me dancing tonight

Wake me up before you go-go, don't you dare to leave me hanging on like a yo-yo
Take me dancing

(MAKES ME ILL)

Augh! Now the Outfield and Wham! are in my head!

"With one breath, with one flow, you will know Synchronicity." --the Police

"In the name of love" --U2

Ya all been listening to the wrong music from the 80's....

There was ALOT of kick ass music coming out of Los Angeles in the 80's....Van Halen, Guns N Roses, Motley Crue, now those guys played music. All the pop syntheshit gave music from the 80's a bad rap man.
Other ass kicking 80's bands include Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne (who needs to hang it up now), Dio, and Night Ranger.

In the 80's that I remember, It was all about energy....and those bands had it!

OK now early 80's my first trip to Laconia B.O.C. 81 i believe ...NO ONE can say anything bad bout B.O.C.



Blue Oyster Cult
Don't Fear The Reaper
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind the sun or the rain (we can be like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby I'm your man
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
40,000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
Another 40,000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby I'm your man
La-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la-la

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared (saying don't be afraid)
Come on baby (and she had no fear)
And she ran to him (then they started to fly)
They looked backward and said goodbye (she had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (she had become like they are)
Come on baby (don't fear the reaper)

Chicago:

If You Leave Me Now


(Don't go, please don't go...)
If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go
And if you leave me now, you'll take away the very heart of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby please don't go
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?

We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today

A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away?

We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way?
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret things we said today

If you leave me now, you'll take away the biggest part of me
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo, no, baby, please don't go

Song Comfortably Numb

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?


There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.


Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
There'll be no more --Aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. Good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on it's time to go.


There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're sayin'.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.


(Definately a great song of the 80's...my mom's fav)

ok ok you had me at first but SHAME ON YOU!!!!!! bad boy bad boy!!! Oz is just fine on stage his preformances have a lot of energy and heart and his voice is as good as ever !!!


ahem ok I feel better now :D

I have too many 80's faves to list ... almost half my movie collection are 80's movies and I LOVE the music and yes I still wear big hair :p :D :)

I have to agree with you vampeyes,OZZY in my book still kicks ass!Just the love he has for his wife and family makes him #1 in my book.I'd move in with The Ozbournes anytime lol.
As far as 80's rockers needing to hang it up...David Lee Roth is at the top of the list.I saw him on a late nite tv show recently and let me tell ya it was sad....i was embarassed for him.And back in the day he kicked major ass,and was damn hot for a blonde dude lol :)

TIE YOUR MOTHER DOWN.........QUEEN :) KICKED ASS

Get your party gown
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right
Got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight my little
Schoolbabe

Your momma says you don't
And your Daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time


Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down
Lock your Daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosing around
Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down
Give me all your love tonight


You're such a dirty louse
Go get outta my house
That's all I ever get from your
Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word
from those guys
But you know I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Grousin' an' snipin'


Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down
Take your little brother swimmin'
With a brick (that's all right)
Tie your Mother down,
Tie your Mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine


Your momma and your Daddy gonna
Plague me til I die
Why can't they understand I'm just a
Peace lovin' guy
Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down. . .etc etc. . .

Ah yes the 80's when music took on a visual side with the birth of MTV - back when MTV actually played music almost all the time ....

Bruce's "I'm on Fire" and several others of his which were almost painfully sensual/sexual.

Don Henley's Boys of Summer

Tina Turner's What's Love got to do with it?

like Coach Knight .... I could list so many more .... but I'll leave some for the rest of you. :)

oh, you guys! Thanks for the memories! And I still wear big hair, although the flat-haired girls sometimes "tease" me about it. And I still listen to the heavy metal rock. I'm so glad to see that I'm not the only one!

Reesa,

Your hair is not that big, girl! LOL

*Blondie* <let's look on the net for hairpieces>...now that is big hair !!! LOL

I should fluff mine up one day :)

good timing on the post, Skip :) we were cleaning out the crawlspace the other day and I found my Synchronicity by the Police, Get Nervous by Pat Benetar and Flashdance records.

Here I go again on my own
Walking down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone.
But I've made up my mind
I ain't wastin' no more time.
Here I go again.............

That song is single handly responsible for not one but two very sexy encounters in/on a bf's car.....I fucking thought I was Tawny Kittane(sp?)

WOW...i can't beleive i forgot about Whitesnake:) My fav by them was Slow n Easy....a great fuck song lol.

Wall Of Voodoo - Mexican Radio
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
And the touch of a world that is older
Turn the switch and check the number
Leave it on when in bed I slumber
I hear the rhythms of the music
I buy the product and never use it
I hear the talking of the dj
Can't understand just what does he say?

I'm on a mexican radio
I'm on a mexican radio

I dial it in and tune the station
They talk about the u.s. inflation
I understand just a little
No comprende--it's a riddle

I'm on a mexican radio
I'm on a mexican radio

I wish I was in Tiajuana
Eating barbequed iguana
I'd take requests on the telephone
I'm on a wavelength far from home
I feel a hot wind on my shoulder
I dial it in from south of the border
I hear the talking of the dj
Can't understand just what does he say?

Radio radio...

Now sad me can't remember if this was for sure in the 80's LOL. Maybe I shouldn't have dabbled in stuff.
-Summer :D

How about the 60s?In 1980;I was 36.My first trip to Laconia;was for the yearly motorcycle party;not music.Anything by the "Rolling
Stones"is good!People make fun of them;but they still make
millions of dollars each year! Irish

Mid 80's I was only 6, but I was the coolest darn 6 year old in school (I have an older sister!). It's so difficult to think of just one good 80's song - I love all of them, but some which are really nostalgic for me include:

'I wanna know what love is' - Foreigner

'Alone' - Heart

'The Voice' - John Farnham

'Zoom' - Fat Larry's Band (my Mum's favourite!)

'Time after Time' - Cyndi Lauper


Oh God, somebody stop me, I could go on and on and on. . .
