Vanity: 2020s Sucks So Back to the 80s: A Flock of Seagulls - Space Age Love Song

[C19fan]

A Flock of Seagulls is a band reunited on Record for the first time since 1984. All four original members Mike Score, Ali Score, Frank Maudsley and Paul Reynolds play on the single "Space Age Love Song", released prior to the their reunion album 'Ascension'

One of my favorite songs from my youth. I hate these 2020s so far. I need to escape.

[Kazan]

Not bad but not as good as I Ran. (So Far Away).

It's hard for many to believe but MTV was actually pretty amazing channel when it first started.

[Kriggerel]

I Ran (So Far Away) gets my vote as one of the cheesiest music videos ever made. It’s hard to beat the tinfoil room, and the zombie-girl with flashing eyes.

Have you listened to the re-release of the song from 2018?

The band released an album with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra of their hits.

Space Age Love Song takes me back to my youth - the release is amazing.

One of my favorite songs from my youth. I hate these 2020s so far. I need to escape.

Yeah, if I was a superhero, my battlecry would be, "I miss the 80's!" B-) Yeah, I do need to go to the 1980's to escape. The TV shows were great then, one show I liked was "Airwolf," in today's worlds, it is so bad that I think even Archangel and "The Firm" would have to join Hawke and go rogue.

[C19fan]

That is the version I linked to.

I loved Airwolf. Too bad Jay-Michael Vincent had so many personal demons. I always thought it was funny how Airwolf had a unlimited ammo supply.

They kind of get listed as a goof band because of their hair (which is goofy) and being one hit wonders (in America at least) but I have generally enjoyed any of their songs that I happen to hear on the radio.

[DallasGal]

“Wishing” is my personal favorite.

You know Paul Reynolds was only 14-16 during their heyday.

[real saxophonist]

Love the big ol’ smile on Frank’s face.

[real saxophonist]

My mistake. He was still pretty young, though. Like 17-19.

I got my first paying gig at age 15, so yeah, it happens.

[ealgeone]

An under appreciated band for sure.

Steve Winwood joined The Spencer Davis Group at 14. I believe he was 16 when Gimme Some Lovin’ came out.

I Ran (So Far Away) gets my vote as one of the cheesiest music videos ever made. It’s hard to beat the tinfoil room, and the zombie-girl with flashing eyes.

But the hair was great!

[dainbramaged]

Back when MTV actually played music videos.

[jdsteel]

I heard them live on their first US tour. Incredibly bad. Couldn’t play or sing worth a damn, the sound man tried vainly to make it sound better with tons of reverb & delay.

It didn’t help.

[Mr. Blond]

Love that song. For all the jokes at their expense, they did have technical chops, and some pretty intricate guitar work.

I loved Airwolf. Too bad Jay-Michael Vincent had so many personal demons. I always thought it was funny how Airwolf had a unlimited ammo supply.

I know, I always got a big kick out of that and on the A-Team too. Yeah, back then I had two man crushes, one was Jon-Eric Hexum from the 1982-83 series, "Voyagers!" where him and a 12 year old travel in time where they end up in an alternate timeline and they have to go back to correct it. Later I remember Hexum while on his then new series, "Coverup," was playing with a revolver with blanks, held it to his head and the paper wadding when into his head and brain and it was the end from there. Jan-Michael Vincent was the other, I'm bummed at all the issues he had. Ernest Borgine and Jean Bruce Scott were cool too. The way things are now with Biden/Harris World, I'm sure it would be worse than what I said above, Santini Air and the Firm would have to join the A-Team in hiding.

I also liked "Tales of the Gold Monkey," "The Greatest American Hero," "V," and "Whiz Kids."

BTW, I remember Fay Grant was a starlet then who played in Greatest American Hero and V, I had a rush on her too.
