Welcome back to the Totally Awesome 80’s!
A time of big hair and mullets. A time of Jazzercise and leggings. We had some unforgettable tunes, and that is what we’re focusing on today!
So, grab your AquaNet, put on your leg warmers, and let’s dance!

ReplyDeleteI'm going to hit play to enjoy your song set while I make a few rounds in Blogosphere. Have a good weekend, my friend. Feel free to join up on 'your song choice picks' week on the 4M dance floor Monday. ;)

Ah, Rick Astley - if ever one song defined an entire career, that was it!

I remember that first song and had wished they kept it slow. What powerhouse voice Donna Summer had. I found for 1981, "Never Too Much" by Luther Vandross. the next for for 1982, I found the Scorpions, "No One Like You." I do like the ones you chose but the beginning and ending of REO Speedwagon was campy. Actor he t'aint.:) I do love the Lennon song and love Neutron Dance but holy shoulder pads Batman! Hahahahaaa. The Rick Astley song is one my ex hates so it makes me laugh whenever I hear it. Is Paul a One hit wonder?? She got more famous for being a judge but just wondering?
ReplyDeleteAnother good playlist. A couple are new to me.
