dterrick 0 #26 March 7, 2004 QuoteI hated that song. With a passion. I'd turn the radio off when it came on. Tainted Love, by Soft Cell. Now there's an anthem for the ages. pull and flare, lisa ...that and Rock Lobster...(dowwwnnnn,dowwwwnnn, dowwwnnn). who could forget the limbo-like gyrations 'we' went into ... It's scary how much Hair Metal and fluff pop I have on vinyl that's now old enough to vote in Canada - and I bought most of it new! This bleak and frigid winter saw me revive my shiny silver Sony turntable and the album sides rip nicely to MP3 - ticks and pops and all. Speaking of the 80's, remember how long it used to take to make a really good Mix tape and how posessive we were about them? Dave PS: my 'hate' was pretty much anything Michael Jackson did ... and as today, anything that was overplayed for more than about 2 months. I'd swear that payola is alive and well in the radio industry... so it's college and alternative stations for me Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friend (Lennon/McCartney) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sdgregory 0 #28 March 7, 2004 You have like totally forced my hand! Gettin with it now, sista! Sometimes I feel I've Got to - EH_EH Run Away I've Got to -EH_EH Get Away From the Pain that you Drive into the heart of me The love we share Seems to go nowhere And I've lost my light For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night Anybody remember Pac Man Fever? I loved that song. I got a pocket full of quarters, and I'm headed to the arcade. I don't have a lot of money, but I'm bringing ev'rything I made. I've got a callus on my finger, and my shoulder's hurting too. I'm gonna eat them all up, just as soon as they turn blue. Chorus: 'Cause I've got Pac-Man fever; Pac-Man fever. It's driving me crazy. Driving me crazy. I've got Pac-Man fever; Pac-Man fever. I'm going out of my mind. Going out of my mind. I've got Pac-Man fever; Pac-Man fever. I'm going out of my mind. Going out of my mind. I've got all the patterns down, up until the ninth key. I've got Speedy on my tail, and I know it's either him or me. So I'm heading out the back door and in the other side; Gonna eat the cherries up and take them all for a ride. Chorus I'm gonna fake it to the left, and move to the right; 'Cause Pokey's too slow, and Blinky's out of sight. Guitar solo Now I've got them on the run, and I'm looking for the high score; So it's once around the block, And I'll slide back out the side door. I'm really cookin' now, eating everything in sight. All my money's gone, so I'll be back tomorow night. 'Cause I've got Pac-Man fever; Pac-Man fever. It's driving me crazy. Driving me crazy. I've got Pac-Man fever; Pac-Man fever. I'm going out of my mind. Going out of my mind. Repeat and fade Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a good thing there weren't digital cameras back in those days. QuoteSpeaking of the 80's, remember how long it used to take to make a really good Mix tape and how posessive we were about them? YES!!! Although I made more for my friends than I did for myself. Didn't it suck when the album you were taping off of didn't have the song times printed on them? Oh well, at least those of us who did that got good at adding up minutes and seconds... comes in handy now if you don't have a ProTrack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbrown 26 #31 March 7, 2004 The Grateful Dead revival, after Jerry Garcia came out of his near death coma experience. "Oh well, a touch of gray, Kind of suits you anyway" Imagine, a bunch of spaced out hippies came roaring back with a song about getting old to become the alltime box office grossing live band of rock 'n roll history. And they're STILL at it, minus Jerry, of course. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MajorDad 0 #36 March 8, 2004 Some things should stay in the 80's. Someone told me last week that Boy George is still touring. Must be trying to find the 2 people who bought his last record. Major Dad CSPA D-579 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #37 March 8, 2004 QuoteHis ex-wife is still a hottie. That, is an understatement! When I was in my early teens, my friends and I used to go to their estate, go around back, climb the wall just to watch her sunbathe in her bikini. When I got to know him personally, I was about 30. At that time they had already broken up. I told him that story and he laughed his ass off.
