A few weeks ago we asked our readers to vote for their least favorite songs from the 1990s, so it was the obvious next move to dial it back 10 years and see what you guys hated in the 1980s. The results are sure to infuriate a lot of people. For the record, I personally disagree with most of these selections. In fact, I love a lot of these songs...
10. Rick Astley - 'Never Gonna Give You Up'...
9. Taco - 'Puttin' On The Ritz'...
8. Toni Basil - 'Mickey'...
7. Bobby McFerrin - 'Don't Worry Be Happy'...
6. Falco - 'Rock Me Amadeus'...
5. Men Without Hats - 'The Safety Dance'...
4. Wham! - 'Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go)'....
3. Chris de Burgh - 'Lady In Red'....
2. Europe - 'The Final Countdown'...
1. Starship - 'We Built This City'...

Early morning singing song
Can't beat that for musical inspiration!
Hehehe...I used to have a friend who was one of those guys who would deliberately mangle words and descriptions...and everyone seemed to pick up on it and ape him...
He called REO Speedwagon “REO Meat Wagon”...
He was always twisting up lyrics, Journey’s “Open Arms” became “...come to you with broken arms...”
He was a funny guy...he looked so much like Ric Ocasek of The Cars, and his name was “MIck” that people called him “Mick Ocasek”...
Those were fun times.
Oh, relief to hear someone else feels that way. I loved his first two somewhat introspective albums, "Asbury Park" and "E Street Shuffle." I went to see him several times in a high school auditorium and in tiny clubs at the Jersey shore hardly bigger than my living room, when he had David Sancious on the grand piano. But from the inception of "Born to Run" and the slamming beat and the six speakers each the size of sports cars stacked up beside the stage, I was done.
And of course, he subsequently started spewing his leftwing drool all over the place.
Still later, he revealed he suffers from depression. Duh! One listen to "Nebraska" made that clear.
>> They stopped making good music after 1979. <<

That’s right. Stones last great album, “It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll” was 1974.
Zeppelin crashed after 1976 (literally, Plant in wreck).

I hadn't read your post before I posted almost the same thing word for word.
Junior High, 7th Grade typing class. The darned teacher put that stupid song on a record player and repeated it for the entire hour of class, the ENTIRE half year! She said it had the right rhythm to type by.
By the end of that half year and that class I not only completely detested that horrid song but I also detested typing.
Bananrama girls are still hot too methinks:
Love that one!
Good point.
Don't know when I've laughed so loud!!
My cat makes that face when I scratch her back where the tail joins the backbone.

I'd crash FR if I posted as many zeros as I'd like, agreeing with you. Damn I hate that song, and that bouncy little f@g front man.
They are awesome in concert.
