I worked at a place that had CDs that corporate sent to the stores once a quarter. So we got to listen to the same 15 songs mixed with commercials for the company on repeat, for three months at a time.
You and every other person who's heard the song since 1982. And it's not bad, you're just a pervert like the rest of us and you are with your people.
There's a pizza shop that plugs into a radio station, mostly songs from the 1980's. Lots of Madonna, of course, the quintessential star of that era. Also Laura Branigan. There's that one high, loud note in Gloria where her voice cracks and she shouts it instead of singing it.
Couldn't tell you about Wet Wet Wet or Level 42, but Marillion is actually a fascinating story. They were uncool amongst 80s rockers, became even less cool (somehow) when 90s grunge hit, lost their lead singer and record deal. What to do?
Over my head. I know two Bryan Adams songs The Summer of 69 (a Lit story if ever there was one) and the Robin Hood one.
And Adams is nothing, does he have a service area on the Parkway named after him?
The one Djmac quoted was from the Johnny Depp Don Juan movie, I think. Then he also did the song for a Three Musketeers movie, together with Sting and Rod Stewart.
OMD were live on Jools Holland's Later in the UK recently. Still pretty good after all these years. New album out I think.
Nah, OMD are still touring and releasing albums, the last I checked.
Then Freddie and Bowie did "Under Pressure". For every example there exists... wait... that's fundamental particles in physics isn't it? Damn.
Great song. And one of the happier ones on that album.
Qué?
Yeah, that interpretation was one of the first dirty jokes I ever learned! I thought everyone interpreted it that way? Certainly after people have danced to it late at night at wedding receptions...
