80's Hits

Here are some clips of 80's hits. Enjoy!

Menudo Mania

Menudo one of the phenoms that people dont even put in a conversations with 80's music.
For those who did not know Ricky Martin used to be a part of this group.

Pac Man was such a big video game in the 80's that a song was made for it. Here you go.

Irene Cara Is an underrated 80's Icon

I think a lot of 80 fanatics miss the boat on this because there are alot of artists that are one hit wonders but Irene Cara was not. She has some big songs and was the theme song Queen. She sung the theme song to "Fame", "Flashdance", and "DC Cab". She also had sex appeal. If you don't remember who she is. Here's a clip of her.

Kurtis Blow-If I Ruled the World

Kurtis Blow actually was one of the first rappers to acclaim commercial success in the 80's. Nas made a remake of this song in the late 90's.

Magic vs. Jordan: Who's Better?

Since the NBA playoffs are still going on why not move onto the next round. Magic won the last round against Larry Bird. Now have a premiere. Match up. Jordan vs. Magic. Who's better?

Magic vs. Bird

Since the playoffs are in full effect I thought it would be great to show one of the classic matchups during the 80's Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird. They made the NBA in the 80's.

Men At Work

Australian artists did make a staple in the 80's pop culture. One group that made aits bench mark is "Men At Work". The Song "Down Under" was signature to their global success.

ZZ Top

You gotta love the beards ad how how they flipped their vibe to pop culture!



Keep the 80's Alive!

Dusting Off the 45's-Huey Lewis and the News-Hip to Be Square

This is a Huey Lewis and the News song that tends to be kept under the radar. It's a great song. Next time you do karaoke, take a stab at performing this song.

Dusting Off the 45's-Paul Carrack- Don't Shed A Tear for Me.

I was actually looking for a Bangles video on You Tube for another blog and came across this song. This is definitley a sleeper. It's one of those songs you hear but never know who the hell sung it. Well now you know.

Paul Carrack-Don't Shed A Tear

Hazy Shade of Winter

We could use some warm weather on a day like today. This was a great movie soundtrack song.



There is something special about all female bands!

Dusting off the 45's-Major Tom

Today song is very random. If you are an 80's pop buff then you may know this one. This just poppoed in mind when I decided to do this segment today. It reminds me of when I was a kid and ued to watch of the Space Shuttle launches that they televised.

Peter Schilling-Major Tom

Catchy Commercial's

In the eighties there were alot of catchy commercials. Most of them were based off of jingles.You dont find too many jingles in commercials like that anymore. The most recent one I can think is the new Subway Commercial about the $5 footlong subs (Pause! lol)

Here are a few catchy commercials.

Oreo


Big Mac


Double Mint Gum


What were you favorite catchy commercials?

Dusting Off The 45's Segment- Wall of Voodoo

I decided to start a segment called "Dusting Off the 45's". I am going to dig in the crates for some off the radar 80's clips. Well here is the first one.

Wall of Voodoo-Mexican Radio


I always liked this video. It was also a catchy song to me. I bought the album when I was younger just for this song.

80's Nostalgia- Angel in a Centerfold

When I was younger I thought that this was the first video made. This is a classic 80's video. I love how the drummer is drumming with milk on his drums. Some of the mistsimple things in a video make a video great.



This song brings back good memories of the 80's to me. What nostalgic things bring back memories to you?

The Police or Genesis... Who Do You Think is a Better Band?

I feel this is an interesting question. I think on the surface a lot of people will probably say the Police because of there media popularity. Genesis has a great body of work. Even though they are very popular I feel that they are always under the radar. Both bands have made great music.

Who do you think is the better band?


Genesis-Invisible Touch


Police-King of Pain

Conjunction Junction

School House Rock was a great educational animation series used to come on between cartoons on saturday mornings. I used to love these clips. Conjunction Junction was one of the more popular ones.




Let me know what you favorite School House Rock Clip was.
