We loved listening to them on the radio, and most were so upbeat that you wanted to tap your toes or get up and dance.

I didn't have tv when I was in high school, but I sure made up for it at college. Watched MTV all the time along with David Letterman and SNL. <br /><br />Being from the very conservative state of Idaho, I was fascinated with the hair and fashion that was taking over the nation in the 80's. Sure I rocked the big hair as well (in my own way). In fact, I was going to upload a picture once, but it said the file was too large - must have been from all of that hair! <br /><br />~MaryMary Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875539859330322822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8221369581989798825.post-13483803659487814312017-11-13T12:39:20.366-05:002017-11-13T12:39:20.366-05:00MARY, MARY, QUITE EXTRAORDINARY! ~
Your high schoo...MARY, MARY, QUITE EXTRAORDINARY! ~<br />Your high school years came on the heels of my own. So, by the time Dexy's hit with 'COME ON, EILEEN', I was already out of high school, working in the entertainment industry a few days per week. The rest of the time I was hanging out with my drinking gang, watching MTV videos and catching good daytime buzzes. Ha!<br /><br />There's a small handful of songs that especially bring those hazy dayz back to mind for me instantaneously, and 'COME ON, EILEEN' is right there with the best of them. I loved that song, watched the video a godzillion times while quaffing Mickey's Big Mouth, and I even bought the album the song came from. <br /><br />OK, now [Link> <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFiv9M577a4" rel="nofollow">HERE</a></b> is a genuine One-Hit Wonder song from my own high school days. One-Hit Wonders don't come much more fun than *THAT* one was. It still puts a smile on my funky face! <b>[:^O}</b><br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://xtremelyun-pcandunrepentant.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ferret-Faced Fascist Friends</a></b>Stephen T.

Your other selections have played over recent years enough that I'm not sure if I actually recall when they released but this was in my college years. I didn't get to listen to much mewsic on the airwaves like I wanted. Great to hear the tunes again.
