Subject: O-A-O Song List Submissions Requested

Written By: searching1980s on 06/08/06 at 8:44 am

I'm putting together a playlist of those 80s songs with vowel-heavy choruses, such as
* Walk Like an Egyptian -- O-a-o, A-o-a-o, Aaa-o-aa-o,
* New Toy -- Lene Lovich -- O-a-o,
* Jungle Love - The Time -- O-e-o-e-o,
* When Problems Arise -- Fishbone -- Aa-aa, a-a-a
* Private Idaho -- B-52s -- oo-o-oo-oo-oo-o, I-i-i-o-o-aaaa-aaa-aaaa
* The Lunatics (Have Taken Over the Asylum) -- Fun Boy Three -- Aaa-a, A-aaaaaaaa
* Wordy Rappinghood -- Tom Tom Club -- A-u-au-i-ni-ki-chi
See that one's not a perfect fit but you ge the idea.  Don't have to be favorite songs.  Many of the 80's most cliched songs fit in this category and also many of the silliest songs.  Please post your submissions for this playlist, whether new wave, dance, silly or sarcastic.  Thanks.

I don't remember how New Toy goes but  Lucky Number by Lene Lovich has lots of a oo a oo noises in it.
