80's Rocker Chicks

Recommended Posts

Speak up. What were your favorite songs back when you wore a jean jacket and had bangs growing as high as hairspray could support? I'm putting together a CD called Chicks with Bangs; A Tribute to 80's Rocker Chicks.

A few that come to mind just to whet the whistle:

Pour Some Sugar on Me, Def Leppard
Living on a Prayer, Bon Jovi
Here I Go Again on My Own, Whitesnake
Don't Stop Believing, Journey
Panama, Van Halen

And here's a link for a pretty solid list of 80's metal.

OK, I admit it and will change the title: "A Tribute to the Chicks who took off their tops at Van Halen concerts." My line of thought actually isn't the performers, it's the teased-hair overpainted girls I used to be in love with in my adolescence. The one who look at their highschool pictures and say, "Holy Shit, how did I get my hair to stay a foot above my head" and will drop any conversation at a bar to rock-out to Pour Some Sugar on Me while she reflects on the Jersey days. It's just been a bunch of dudes working on this with me, so I need female input.

And on that note I have the throw in the lyrics to Talk Dirty to Me by Poison

You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do

You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you

Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
I'm only hoping that you're home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you

Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me


"C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me"

Cause baby we'll be
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
till I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

Just reading the lyrics to that song has me pumped and the memories coming back. I saw them 5 times...They always put on a good show here in Green Bay. They started a lot of there tours here and even shot video for one....

To only be young and go back to those days again...Wait, maybe not...Oh hell ya, wouldn't change a thing, made me who I am today...

How could you leave off Guns N Roses? "Sweet Child..." is the perfect heavy metal song!

Boy does this bring back memories. . .My sister and I were doing promotions for local bands back in the 80s and we used to BLAST this one from the car on the way to Hollywood. . .we would SCREAM the songs out all the way. . .god those were some fun times. . .

A tribute to rocker chicks but you've listed songs by male rockers? Makes no sense to me....



Frankly, not many people paid attention to Lita Ford's female groupies.;) The rocker chicks were the female metal-heads. It's just too bad I was the rocker dude in the mid 1990's, when grunge was in and I just didn't have enough angst to get a big groupie following.:(

Those groupie scenes in the 1980's? You gotta have:

1) Dr. Feelgood - Motley Crue
2) ANything by RATT or Dokken.
3) Google Tawny Kitaen and use any song or band that shows up (disregard her beating of hubby pitcher Chuck Finlet)
4) Sex Farm - SPinal Tap.;)

I'm so against Guns & Roses...especially "Sweet child of mine":o. This is a recent sentiment as my neighbor below me plays it really loud and keeps hitting the "replay" button. I've been "quarantined" for 2 weeks and dont get much of a choice to listen to that song over and over and over and over..:S

Trying to figure out if he's trying to learn the song for Karaoke night? is he down there dancin in his sockfeet? playin air guitar? I dunno...but that dude needs to diversify!
