If asked when that song came out I would immediately say "1985" because only something smack ass in the middle of the 80s can sound THAT 80s.
By 88 things started to sound like the 90s. And in 82 things still kinda sounded like the 70s.
But christ on a cracker that sounds like the 80s so I'm gonna just assume that came out in June of 1985.
EDIT: Nailed it...almost. February of 1985.
How'd they manage to find 7 cut-rate Lionel Richie's for that video? You could tell me that entire song/video is an SNL skit that didn't quite land and I'd believe you. [Reply]
So get this - I sent the Debarge video to a group text with some softball/drinking buddies and asked them if they could come up with anything more 80s than this.
One of the guys on there calls me cracking up. On football Sundays at the bar he always goes, prior to kickoff, they troll touchtunes to play the most obnoxiously 80s song they can find. They take their shot, settle up and the 'winner' gets a couple beers out of the deal.
They have one rule: No DeBarge
Because there is no beating DeBarge in a 'what's the most 80s thing imaginable' showdown.
But I think my first recollection Pink Panther theme I'd like to sneak around and be sneaky, we had it on record with chipmunks ALVIN Simon Theodore.
But also this song I heard over and over when i was little and it's nostalgic for me to listen too after my Grandparents took me and my brother in and away from. Anyways this is the Rhinestone Cowboy it was really catchy to me
Also we had an 8 track of Judas Priest but i didn't remember any of the songs but I liked them and my first introduction to Rock and Roll. [Reply]
the first song I liked was Elvira. my dad blasted Oak ridge Boys music a lot. the first musician I liked was Roy Orbison, all his songs were great. I was 5 or 6 at the time.
the first song I loved was NIB by Sabbath. I heard that when I was 12 IIRC [Reply]
I know one of the first songs I really liked was Uptown Girl by William Joel. When I was 4 or 5 I would play it over and over and ride on my little horsey on springs like I was The Lone Ranger. Also really liked Thriller and Billie Jean. These were cassettes my parents had.
Dark Side of the Moon. What a blessing it was for that to be the first album I ever heard while high. Cranked up really loud in my friend's car. I owe him for that one. [Reply]
I think it was probably get over it from the eagles reunion show Hell Freezes Over when i was 5 or 6. My dad watched that vhs so much and I loved it. Haven't heard it in 20 years and could still recite it word for word. [Reply]
