Nothing says 80's like this,

I listened to some of that song and this video was linked with it....very strange.

[robo21]

I liked that song as well till I saw that video.

I have this to contribute -- when I saw it on TV a few weeks back I was appalled at just how bad the video really was.  The "dance break" half way through is incomparable!

But I've always liked the song...

And they say that white men can't dance.. that video was awful! I think she's stoned or something lol




this is a goodie...  I do this on singstar

Both "Gloria" and "Total Eclipse of the heart" are 80's "Classics"! Not good, in the long view, and certainly, any and all "live" TV appearances from the 80's were lip synched, but good songs, none the less... at least by 80's standards. 


Living Colour was an amazing band and Vernon Reid, was among the best guitarists playing in the 80's. That solo is STILL amazing! This is one of the FEW songs I'll actually DO at a karaoke night (ssshhh.. thats a secret)!

agreed!! the 80's was a cheesefest of awesomeness

Speaking of 80's hits... from his NEW album "Carry on", here's Chris Cornell (Formerly of Soundgarden & Audioslave) covering Micheal Jacksons 1983 hit Billie Jean...

Sweet Jeebus I loves me some cover songs...

[J Digory]

Yeah, Cornell has a great voice (when he even has his voice) and is a very interesting composer. I read that some dude on american idol copied Cornell's arrangement of Billy Jean and they gave him credit for originality. heh Not that I care what happens on american idol.

Ah...bald and bearded bassist. He's like me! ;P

This should be posted in the guilty pleasures thread, but since a few years ago, I watch American Idol religiously.  I'm a huge music fan, and the indie music scene gets most of my support, but I enjoy watching the performances, especially when they get large symphonic bands to back up.
But agreed, I was disappointed that he originally took credit for the arrangement of Billy Jean.

....well, off to hammer up some dry wall, drink beer, and watch football.

[GASlick]

AH, the 80's.  Big hair, Shoulder pads, women wearing ties (which I hated) and cheesy music and sitcoms.

AAAHHHH the memories.
