I'd say "The Final Countdown" by Europe.

The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats

An honorary mention goes to "Mr. Roboto" and "Owner of a Lonely Heart" (although I enjoy both of them  :D

"Puttin' On The Ritz" Taco
"Boom, Boom, Boom, Let's Go To My Room" Paul Lekakis
"Never Gonna Give You Up" Rick Astley

I think that the song that Duran Duran did for that James Bond movie was pretty cheesy. A View to a Kill?

Sussudio by Phil Collins.
Sussudio? What in the hell is a Sussudio?

Don't Worry Be Happy - Bobby McFerrin (fun to listen to sometimes, though)

I Wanna Be a Cowboy.




Cat

I've Never Been To Me by Charlene

'No Jacket Required' is a great album, but Sussudio is getting old.

I can't do that, but I can do the next best thing.  Post some lyrics  ;D


when I'm on the mike
everyone listens
when I go offstage
you'll all be missin'
me
'cause I'm so g
your rhymes don't touch mine
cause you don't have flava
my lyrical ambrosia is a life-saver
when I play my favorite sport
no one stands a chance
the game's eleven to one when I take my shootin' stance
when TAB busts his riffs
your mind goes adriff
to an ill land
where all wackness is banished
when I hit the airwaves all that Nelly crap will vanish
cause
when I'm on the mike
everyone listens
when I go offstage
you'll all be missin'
me
'cause I'm so g

"alright, alright, TAB, play that funky beat!"

I have the skills of Slug
and the production of Sop
your rhymes are about as fresh
as Britney Spears pop

and

when I'm on the mike
everyone listens
when I go offstage
you'll all be missin'
me
'cause I'm so g



peace!


don't cut down those trees
don't cut down those trees
don't mess with the rainforest or the rainforest will mess with you
now do you want to be HOT HOT HOT
now do you want to be HOT HOT HOT
So let Alaska FREEZE
and let the moose be FREE
DONT MESS WITH THE RAIN-FOR-ESSSSST!

Anything from Journey... I've listened to their songs in their entirity & never got into 'em  :P

I agree! This and "What about me" are joined at the hip!

  Can't think of just one. I'm surprised nobody mentioned David Lee Roth after he went solo.
 

  Hmmmmm, looks like Howard's been to the hair club.LOL

Or David Lee Roth..... when he went solo?  ::)  ;D

I always like that song.  :-[




Cat


Me too! Walk Like An Eygptian by the Bangles (though I love the song!)

Tanya

pop goes the world
dont come around here no more

i forget who sings them but both are really bad, and so are the videos, in my opinion of course.

hi whitewolf..Men Without Hats and Tom Petty  :)

most of REO Speedwagon,  but mainly "I'm gonna keep on Lovin You"

Foreigner - I've been Waiting

hi whitewolf..Men Without Hats and Tom Petty  :)


Don't Come Around Here No More...... now that's a creepy video!!!!  ;D

There was a whole pile of cheezy songs in the 80s that I couldn't stand,but I only had a few come to mind at the moment...
Kids In America - Kim Wilde
99 Luftballons - Nena
Wake Me Up Before You Go Go - Wham
Pass the Dutchie - Musical Youth  ::)

My own personal vision of cheesy hell is "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You" by Glenn Medeiros. Truly flippin' awful.

Don't Come Around Here No More...... now that's a creepy video!!!!  ;D



that video freaks me out, I don't even like the song because I think of the video

Anything by the B-52's

:D Whip it ~ DEVO ~THAT SONG IS SO STUPID IT'S GOOD!!!

"Rock You Like A Hurricane" by The Scorpions

  Can't think of just one. I'm surprised nobody mentioned David Lee Roth after he went solo.
 

  Hmmmmm, looks like Howard's been to the hair club.LOL



Well,actually I'm thinning so thanks for the compliment. :)


Howard

that video freaks me out, I don't even like the song because I think of the video


Ain't that the truth!! :P  I feel the exact same way.



I love most 80's cheese and a great many I don't even consider to be truly cheese, like some of the already listed.

My pick:

Debbie Gibson - Electric Youth  -- I didn't like that particular tune and thought her other hits were quite alright. I did like the scent of the fragrance she marketed also called Electric Youth.

Anything by the B-52's


Dude, that's blasphemy.

"We Are The World," by USA for Africa.

Pop Goes The World - Men Without Hats

My pick:

Debbie Gibson - Electric Youth  -- I didn't like that particular tune and thought her other hits were quite alright. I did like the scent of the fragrance she marketed also called Electric Youth.


Second.  :-X (Even greats like U2, 1997 "Discotechque", and Prince, 1989's "Bat Dance", had thir share of bas cheese)

:D Whip it ~ DEVO ~THAT SONG IS SO STUPID IT'S GOOD!!!


i'm enjoying it the second time around after it was featured in the movie Raising Helen  :)

Tough call between

M - Unite Your Nation
Gleaming Spires - Are You Ready For the Sex Girls.

Both have me gagging and clawing at my blood soaked ears after under 10 seconds.

"Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You"  Yeah..... now there's a cheesy song!  ::)  ;D

I have a few here and I can't decide which one is the worst.

Come Dancing - The Kinks
Maniac - from Flashdance
She's Like The Wind - Patrick Swayze
Bang - Gorky Park
And finally.........................anything from Loverboy

Hmmmm...cheesiest songs......I would have to say maybe "Take me on" by A-ha, i believe...it's a cool song, it just doesn't make much sense....then there's "Working for the Weekend" by Loverboy, that song is something else......did "Bohemian Rhapsody" come out in the 80s? I like the song, i just never understood it.... ::) ;D

"Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You"  Yeah..... now there's a cheesy song!  ::)  ;D



very cheesy. :P

"Bohemian Rhapsody" came out in 1975.  :)

"Take on Me" by a-ha IS cheesy, but it also has the best synths EVER in my opinion.  The senselessness of the lyrics comes from the translation (a-ha are Norwegian), it's really about asking a shy girl to take a chance with you. The video makes the song 1.5 times better.

"Agadoo" by Black Lace -and that video clip, OMG! The bleached mullets, the sleeveless computer-knit pullovers, no mistaking what decade we're in!
Anything by the Village People must also be added to the list, IMO.
Cheers,
Dee  :-*

"Manic" is pretty chessy.... and so is Flashdance!  ::)  ;D

Radio Gaga by Queen while I like the song it's just weird LOL

Radio Gaga by Queen while I like the song it's just weird LOL


I like that song as well, I think that it's a weird song too!  ::)  ;D

JamieMcBain, your list reminded me to download that George Michael song, I actually like that one.

That "Maniac" song, and also "Take it to the limit".

Totally agree with you about the Video. Pretty revolutionary.

My cheesiest song , even though I loved it in the eighties is "Sunglasses at Night" - Corey Hart.

"He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask)"  by Alice Cooper

"He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask)"  by Alice Cooper


;D But I like that song. I have it on my comp.

Another 'cheesy' 80s soundtrack song I like very much, "Batdance" by Prince.  ;D

Batdance, other than Party Man, the only good song on the Batman soundtrack!  ::)

The mother of all cheesy songs from the 80's would be....

"Mr. Roboto" by Styx  ::)  ;D

Batdance, other than Party Man, the only good song on the Batman soundtrack!  ::)


I liked them all, "Trust" and "Scandalous" as well.

Well to me there are no cheesie songs from the 80's.

Tell me "Hangin' Tough" by NKOTB is NOT cheesy  :D

Believe it or not I have their CD somewhere.  I was a big fan when I was in 10th grade and got the CD for my birthday. :-[

Dancing on the ceiling-by Lionel Richie  (its catchy though)  ;D
