Falco - Rock me Amadeus

Somehow this turned in to the "name every song from the '80s" thread.

 

WOW! Thanks for the memories!

 

And that is a good thing.

Not bad.

The original Crimson and Clover song though is HORRIBLE

 

Absolutely.
The original post was just putting in a song for the sake of enjoyment, and all the following posts have been in the spirit and style of that. Can't really say its been bad cuz it was just gonna be that way, the referencing of any 80's song anyone's ever liked.
I prefer though the theme of Vague or Under the Rader Tunes You Might Have Heard Before or Should Have Heard Before. Or have it be a certain genre like - Synthpop of the 80's similar to Falco Rock Me Amadeus.

For that I'll have to commend you for the choices you put in, just the kind of stuff I was expecting from this! Along with percicles's selections, just great. Those songs added the to full flavor, the whole flair of the 80's. The backbone and backdrop, instead of the well known full mainstream stuff.

It was nothing but obvious 80's in here for a while but now people are starting to pull some real stuff straight from out their asses! Fish Heads, Limahl and references to the Last Dragon is A-okay.

(Sorry, I take the 80's way too seriously! Now my contribution until later

Absolutely awesome. First rap song I ever memorized.

I still blow away my black friends when I bust this out. As for the crackers? They never heard of this shiiiii.....(shut up!)

I just use my Super Breath.

 

Here’s a few more, just for the fun of it. Here are a few more Canadian songs from the 80s that y’all may know, or you may know the people involved anyway.


Some early kd lang from her cow punk days.

Canadians sure like to have fun with their bands names. This was the Payola$'s biggest hit, but the record company thought their name wasn’t going over well in the US, so they changed it to Rock and Hyde. The Rock part of the name was for Bob Rock who later went on to become a big name producer who has done a bunch of Metallica albums as well as working with The Cult, Bon Jovi, Motley Crue and many, other bands.

I doubt that you’ll know anyone in this band, but this album was produced by a Canadian producer named Daniel Lanois at just about the time he started working with U2, Peter Gabriel and Brian Eno. Lanois also produced the Parachute Club album with the song Rise Up that I posted earlier.

I stand corrected. Women and liberal Canadians suck.

Look: The only way you can rectify your grizzled life is by pulling a Basketball Diaries on everyone in Memphis. That pyramid needs to come down.

I've got your back, bro. I loathe poopy brown uniforms.

Should I take this as an admission of defeat ... with respect to 80s music and women?

 

i like this one a whole lot
