I think maybe I finally figured out how to do this . . . here is this morning's wake-up tune, SHOUT by "Tears for Fears." What a classic!

My . . . I'd forgotten how, er, direct those lyrics were!! I noticed she slurred the words whenever she got to exactly WHAT it was they were doing alone!!! Catchy tune though, and the clothes are DEFINITELY 80'S. Man, I LOVED that decade!
BTW, did you ever hear Weird Al's parody of that song, "I Think I'm a Clone Now"? Hilarious!!
Don Henley~ Boys of Summer~~ of all the videos from the 80's I remember this one the most. not sure why.. :tongueout:

"Walk this Way" by Run DMC and Aerosmith
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmDzKR7Rfx8
I loved this video. I'm a fan of rap and rock, and to see the veritable 'Breaking down the wall" between rock and rap and have them co-exist is great. Specially when bands like the Beastie Boys have dabbled in both, along with countless other bands. Made rap a bit more 'acceptable.' So to speak.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1JLdMYCmp8
They don't make 'em like that anymore that's for sure! My favourite W.A.S.P. video is probably Wild Child, but this is totally in second slot. Everything that defined the band in '84 is on display here, blood, spikes, smoke, saw-blades, the flaming logo, Chris Holmes with a can of Bud - Genius. I've recently got my 57 year old, Tamla Motown loving father into W.A.S.P. and he sings "I Wanna Be Somebody" all the damn time. :teddyr:
I still think this is the coolest video ever!

Cool song. The 1980's were the best decade for music. Period.
