You must of not been around when the song came out. IIRC, it was a was a huge R&B hit at the time, and their follow up "Love You Down" was a makeout hit for the high school set.
This song and the band was all over the radio in '85.
Per Wikipedia: The band was known for having the very wettest Jheri curl in the industry.
Now you know that meant they were the s*** back then if you had the wettest Jheri curl! :D
I should know, 'cause I had a a Jheri curl too... :-[

I was listening to the soundtrack of the Jazz Singer yesterday. I think this song is so appropriate since we will be celebrating the U.S.' birthday this week and what is going on at the border. I really love this video that some kids (I'm assuming) put together. A lot of really great old photos in it.

Okay, this might be pushing it a bit, but the song I'm going to share was on a 1979 album, but it was released as a single in early 1980 and had its chart run during the first half of the year. (So if anything, it might be considered a decade cusp song.)
"Too Hot" by Kool & The Gang:

I know! I know! It's from 1979. It peaked at #1 on Billboard, December 22.
It was also a #1 hit here in Canada, but not until the week of January 12, 1980. I'd almost forgotten about that unti just recently as i was going through old chart listings. I'm still so fascinated that I can actually call it an 80s hit, that I've been listening to it non stop the last few hours lol

But, about a month or so before the show, I got into a car accident that messed up my back and couldn't really dance for a while which meant that I wouldn't be prepared for the show-so I had to drop out. :\'( :\'( :\'( I was SOOO hoping to take home the First Place trophy instead of the Second Place trophy I took home the year before.
I can still remember a bit of the choreography.

Okay, here's one that would probably fall into the decade cusp, since it was recorded in 1979 and released as a single the same year, but peaked in the early part of 1980 on most charts. For example, it hit #1 in the band's native New Zealand in March of 1980. What song am I talking about? "I Got You" by Split Enz:

Kenny also played bass for Toronto bands The Next and The Suspects as well as The Deserters.

I know this song very well (even though I was only about 2 when it was popular; however, I heard it for the first time much later); and I also know two other songs by them: "I Confess" (same album) and "Mirror In The Bathroom" (1980, from album I Just Can't Stop It).

Here's my choice for today... "Shake It Up" by The Cars (1982).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXCn688oGF0
I'm choosing it since today is the 25th anniversary of the Northridge Earthquake (a 90's event, I know) and it has the word "Shake" in the title.

From 1984, "Wouldn't It Be Good" by Nik Kershaw, who turns 61 today:
I posted that song a while back, but it bears repeating. When Live Aid happened I was excited to be seeing my faves from the 60s and 70s who were still active. I wasn't particularly interested in most of the newer 80s acts of the time. The exception was Nik Kershaw whom I liked. He came on very early in the day, from the London portion of the show. He delivered a somewhat low key set that was well received. Discussing Live Aid the following week with my co-workers I mentioned him, and the one co-worker who even knew who Nik Kershaw was said he thought he was "too cerebral" and "went over the heads of the audience". I don't know, see for yourself.

I'm sure lots of songs have been posted more than once in the same "Your _0s Song of the Day" threads from time to time. In fact, I've done that on at least one occasion in the 60's song thread.
As for the song itself... I actually did not know it at the time it was popular (I was 4 at the time) but I did learn it much later. As for Live Aid, I was semi-aware that he partook in the London portion of it because I read his bio on Wikopedia earlier, so that I could learn a little more about him for curiosity sake.
And for the record, I'm sure he's not related to a certain Dodgers ace pitcher who was born a few years later.

Drive
Well, "Magic" and "Drive" were back-to-back singles by The Cars, both from their 1984 album Heartbeat City. I know both of them myself. They were both big hits on the U.S. charts (in fact "Magic" topped the U.S. Mainstream Rock tracks chart; not so well outside the U.S.).

I probably would have back then if my household had cable tv, which it didn't. In fact, the only time(s) during the 1980s I ever remember watching cable tv was either at a friend's house in the latter part of the decade (even so, that friend would usually watch Nickelodoeon) or in a restaurant that had the tv set tuned to a cable channel.
I started watching VH1 in the late 1990s when "Pop Up Video" and "Rock & Roll Jeopardy" were active shows. That was still at someone else's home, however (my grandparents and uncles started subscribing to cable tv around then).

This racy little number is from 1987 from Platinum Blonde's 3rd studio album called "Contact" and I rather suspect that the guys blew the whole budget for this video on the extras.
Extras playing streetwalkers, pimps, clients, and stripperella type girls all dancing around the guys. There's even a guy dressed as a woman, cross dresser, and a guy doing an airborne sommersault into an airbag.

The swirly synthesizer on this song is played by an uncredited Prince. He also does the high "stand back" voice at the end of the song.

"Walking On Thin Ice"
1981
This song made it to the lower reaches of the Billboard top 40 in 1981 and was also nominated for a Grammy for best female rock vocal in 1982, though it lost out to Linda Ronstadt. The wild guitar solo is by John Lennon. In more recent years a dance remix of it was #1 in the dance clubs, but this original is still the best version if you ask me.

"Don't Go Back To Rockville"
1984
^ nice R.E.M. pick! Not to steal your thunder, but I have to tell a little story...
My husband and I have relatives in northern New Jersey. We drove to and were staying in a hotel there in 2010 for a special occasion, and attempting to go to the small restaurant place where it was being held. We were having a rough time of it finding our way to the place (we had no GPS at the time) - I think we passed it on the wrong side three times, and kept making wrong turns. We were forced onto the New Jersey Turnpike, and getting off there we ended up in the parking lot for the Meadowlands ;D. Needless to say we were more than a little annoyed. At that point we dubbed the New Jersey state song to be "Can't Get There From Here"...
Here is that song - I dig the goofy video, too.

"Lorraine"
1980
Somehow mystical sounding, as if it takes place late on an orange afternoon. I heard this on the radio in 1980 on a station that was one of the last remaining vestiges of the old freeform, underground hippie style. The album went nowhere. A few years later the lead singer became very successful in her own right.

No more timing each tear that falls from my eyes
I'm not hiding the remedy to cure this old heart of mine
I can dream about you
if I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
you know how to hold me just right
I can dream about you
if I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
you know how to hold me just right
Moving sidewalks I don't see under my feet
climbing out from down here below
where the streets see me lonely for you
I can dream about you
if I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
you know how to hold me just right
I can dream about you
if I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
you know how to hold me just right
I can dream about you
I'm gonna press my lips against you
and hold you to me
I can dream about you
You know you've got me spellbound
what else could it be?
Moving sidewalks I don't see under my feet
driving out from the pain in my heart
cause it's you that I need
I can dream
I can dream
I can dream about you
I don't understand it I can't take my mind off loving you
not even for a minute
All night baby I'm caught up in the magic of seeing you
there's one thing to do
I can dream about you
if I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
you know how to hold me just right
I can dream about you
if I can't hold you tonight
I can dream about you
you know how to hold me just right

I have a little story for this dandy. It was Chicago, summer 1983, and we had a big family get-together in the park scheduled for the afternoon. We finally got our reserved space set up, started feeding folks and everything finally seemed to come together. Until - someone pulled up nearby, not sure if they had a huge boombox or a loud car, but they were blasting their music so loud our family group could no longer converse. I distinctly remember this specific song being blasted. Well, as annoyed as I was ::) I didn't hold it against the song...

Yes, and it's even credited as a "1989 Version" (to distinguish from Rod Stewart's individual recording of it, which he performed in 1975). And yes, it was widely played in '90.
Therefore it can be considered a "decade cusp" song. :)
Not only that, it's a revival recording for both Rod and Ronald. Rod, as mentioned above, first recorded his version in '75, and Ron originally recorded the song in 1965 with his band the Isley Brothers (and sang lead on it).

I liked their early 1987 hit "You Got It All"; that was one of their "soft pop" tunes, as was "Make It Real." "Crush On You" was more along the lines of dance-oriented tunes, as well as "Rocket 2U". In fact, the band was composed of siblings surnamed Wolfgramm, all of whom played at least one instrument...and I think they were all minors when the band was formed. :)

So, “Special Kinda Love” is when they fell off for you or before then? ???
The Jets were Polynesian, but it seemed like everyone (including myself) thought they were Latino in the late 80s and 90s. “Special Kinda Love” sounds like a Latin Freestyle meets LAFace production song.
Did you know The Jets performed the “Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers” theme song in 1989? “Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers” was one of the most definitive cartoons of the late 80s to me. Like The Jets, “Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers” don’t get enough credit in today’s world. “CNDRR” was one of the best cartoons of the 1989 to 1990 TV season along with “The Simpsons”, “Beetlejuice”, “Super Mario Super Show”, and “Captain N The Game Master”. I miss that whole 1989 to 1990 TV season, but I won’t talk about that here.
The Jets were the late 80s to late Xers and XYers my age. “Crush on You” — modernism in the 80s! :D

I was just talking about this one in my ‘Major Late 80s’ thread. What better way to usher in the late 60s revival in ‘89 than to use artists that Xers were familiar with? I think “New Kids on the Block” were the last group in the late 80s and early 90s to use “The Beatles” sub-sounding songs for their albums with the single “Tonight”, but that was after the late 60s revival was in vogue and the early 70s revival was coming in.
I hear this song all of the time when shopping at clothing stores like Kohl’s. It used to be that you heard “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” exclusively on radio in the 2000s and early 2010s, but the only “Tears For Fears” single the DJs want to play now is this one. I miss the late 80s and early 90s. Interesting times.

It is the "Beatlesque" sound that drove to this song. Their other (fore-mentioned) songs are overplayed.

That's right, it's a "decade cusp" song. I am well aware that it was released in UK (the singer's native country) and elsewhere in 1989, but the U.S. got it as a hand-me-down by the start of '90, when it became a hit there. It's one of my personal favourites too. O0

This was one of the hottest club tunes of its time (late 80's clubbing). Whenever the DJ cued it up, the dance floor seemed to get twice as crowded as before, and spontaneously a "conga line" or two would spring up and start snaking around the room. WOO-HOO! I say this from first hand experience (yes, I frequently went clubbing in that era). Good times! 8)

Like The Jets, “Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers” don’t get enough credit in today’s world. “CNDRR” was one of the best cartoons of the 1989 to 1990 TV season along with “The Simpsons”, “Beetlejuice”, “Super Mario Super Show”, and “Captain N The Game Master”. I miss that whole 1989 to 1990 TV season, but I won’t talk about that here.
They apparently performed the "album" version to that theme song, but Jeff Pescetto sang the version used on TV.

No.
You're probably thinking of Peter, Paul, & Mary, who recorded a song of that title for their 1962 debut album (then Bobby Bare recorded his own version a year later and scored a big hit with it).
There is also a song called "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", recorded by The Proclaimers in 1988; they ended up having a big hit with it five years later.

No.
You're probably thinking of Peter, Paul, & Mary, who recorded a song of that title for their 1962 debut album (then Bobby Bare recorded his own version a year later and scored a big hit with it).
There is also a song called "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", recorded by The Proclaimers in 1988; they ended up having a big hit with it five years later.
Thanks I got them mixed up. O0

That's true, it did get released as a single in November of '79...and ultimately peaked at #1 in January of 1980. Therefore, we can let it stand. :)
This was played on the radios January 1980.
So were lots of songs popular years before then, I'm sure.
(Considering today's date, I'd venture there are some two-decade hits that are popular going on right now...)
Yes, definitely. That sorta thing always happens when a calendar decade changes. A song will be released as a single in December of a year ending in nine, start getting radio airplay then, and its chart run will continue into the following month, when the tens digit of the year changes! :D

I just felt if you're not posting a video then what's the point of being in this thread?
Guys, I think you two need to seriously consider that everybody is entitled to their own opinions and thoughts but you guys also need to know when it's appropriate to react.

This is from the second farm Aid in 1986. I watched it on TV at the time. It went on all day and all night with many acts of all genres. probably the best of all the Farm Aids, along with the first one in 1985. If I recall, X came on about 4 in the afternoon.

Just like Thriller in 1983, they could've made this song into a music video, they could've had all the Jacksons enter a haunted hotel, have John Landis direct it and they'd be in this hotel telling a spooky story and I'm trying to understand why they named this song Heartbreak Hotel cause maybe it had something to do with Elvis Presley who died 3 years before this song came out, How'd you create this music video AG?

Well, Howard, your idea for a video sounds plausible. Note that MTV wasn't going when the album was released, as the release happened in late 1980. The song name had nothing to do with Presley's song; in fact, that's why they renamed it "This Place Hotel" to avoid confusion. I remember when the album came out - it was before Thriller but after Off The Wall so Michael was still flying high, so to speak. (Not like after Thriller, though, which catapulted Michael into another stratosphere, if that's even possible.) I always thought the album was underrated, probably because the "hits" culled from it weren't as popular as Off The Wall favorites. But the album is full of great tracks. Other favorites of mine from the album: Time Waits For No One, Give It Up, Walk Right Now, Your Ways. It took me a little time to warm up to Can You Feel It but I like that one too.
Slight correction - Elvis died 3 years before the album, not after.

If he wanted to do a music video in 1980 it would have to be based on the lyrics he sang, I thought when I heard the song at first he sounded and sang like he was entering a haunted house with all those creepy sounds and noises and heavy breathing.
Live and sin
Ten years ago on this day my heart was yearning
I promised I would never, ever be returning
Where my baby broke my heart and left me yearning
As we walked into the room
There were faces staring, glaring, tearing through me
Someone said "Welcome to your doom"
Then they smiled with eyes that looked as if they knew me
This is scaring me
We walked up the stairs still concealing gloom
There were two girls sitting in my room
She walked up to my face
And said "This is the place"
You said "Meet you right here at noon"
This is (Heartbreak hotel)
Welcome to (Heartbreak hotel)
So this is (Heartbreak hotel)
This place is (Heartbreak hotel)
Hope is dead
She thought that I had cheated for another lover
I turn my back to see that I am undercover
Now I can't convince this girl there ain't no other
Someone's evil to hurt my soul
Every smile's a trial thought in beguile to hurt me
This is scaring me
Then the man next door had told
She's been here in tears for fifteen years
This is scaring me
We came to this place where the vicious dwell
And found that wicked women run this strange hotel
There was Sefra and Sue
Every girl that I knew
And my baby said love is through
This is (Heartbreak hotel)
Welcome to (Heartbreak hotel)
So evil (Heartbreak hotel)
This place is (Heartbreak hotel)
Someone's takin' my heart (Heartbreak hotel)
This is heartbreak hotel (Heartbreak hotel)
Ten years ago today (Heartbreak hotel)
This is heartbreak hotel (Heartbreak hotel)
Someone's takin' my heart (Heartbreak hotel)
This is heartbreak hotel (Heartbreak hotel)
Ten years ago today (Heartbreak hotel)
Hurtin' my heart (Heartbreak hotel)
You break my baby's heart (Heartbreak hotel)
This is heartbreak hotel (Heartbreak hotel)
Just what you do to me

Yes, but that is not an eighties song. It was from 1990. Please stop assuming the decade of a song without knowing specifically what year it's from.
The Byrds also briefly reunited in 1990 to record a couple of new songs for their box set (they've since had another box set that is better) and one of them was "From A Distance". It was released BEFORE the Midler version and is the one I heard first. I (predictably) like the Byrds version far better, but I don't think many people know about it. I won't post it hear because it's from 1990. It can be found on Youtube. Check it out.

I saw INXS with Michael Hutchence live in a club sometime in the 80s. I was not a fan in the least but a friend of mine loved them and dragged me along. I don't really remember much about it.

I know, I was joking. I'll never forget his appearance on the second Farm Aid in 1986. He sat down at the piano and basically improved a song on the spot about the plight of the farmers. And it was a good song, too. Even the band was having a hard time following him, so he sang to the guitar player "Kenny won't you play...Kenny won't you play" and even THAT sounded like part of the song. Amazing! Then he proceeded to make some off color remarks about then-president Ronald Ragan at which point the network yanked him off the air mid-sentence and went to a commercial. How different times were then. More recently people seemed to say any old thing they wanted about Trump on the air.

Technically speaking it's not the original. It was commissioned for the "Officer and a Gentleman" film and Buffy never recorded it herself at the time. She did her own version later. So I guess you could call it "the songwriter's version". That's what she calls it too.

It's actually on the decade cusp. Gary recorded it in 1979 (and released it in his native UK that same year). In the US it didn't become a hit until early 1980. So it could be considered both a 70s song and an 80s song. O0

O0 I always liked Money For Nothing. Of course, this is the "cut" version...
I bought the "Brothers In Arms" album when it came out. Interestingly, "Money for Nothing" was my least favorite song on it and I never listened to it. I preferred the rest of the album, which was actually quite folkish sounding. We all first heard Dire Straits back in 1978 with "Sultans of Swing" which had a refreshing sound in the midst of everything going on then. Then we knew Mark Knopfler from playing on Dylan's 1979 "Slow Train Coming" album. But they really hit their commercial stride with the "Brothers In Arms" album in 1985. MTV (understandably) was all over "Money For Nothing" and it's followup Walk of Life". Interestingly, their Live Aid set consisted of only two songs. "Money for Nothing" (with guest Sting reprising his "I want my MTV" line) and a go-for-broke version of "Sultans of Swing" that was about 15 minutes long.

Heck, there are plenty of songs out there that sound much older!
For example, most songs by the Stray Cats, which are from 1980s, sound like songs from the 50's (early days of rock and roll!).

"All The Machines"

Too bad this unique song wasn't a bigger hit upon release back in 1984. If it was accurate then, it's utterly prophetic now.
I remember she sang this on the old "Solid Gold" show draped in paper bags and singing into a stethoscope. Very avant-garde. I wish it would surface on Youtube.

Cause you belong to the city
you belong to the life
living in the river of darkness
against the neon lights
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet
It's in your moves
It's in your blood
You're a man of the streets
I picked this song because I miss being in Toronto. My life wasn't that great when we were living there but I'm like Alexis Rose. I miss my old life.

Glad I could help. :) Yeah, she's from New York and has acted in many films during her adult life. (Including some supporting film roles in the early 1990s.) I had not realised up until recently that she knew Madonna personally. Apparently she had roles in several of the singer's music videos.
She also tested positive for Covid last year; I hope she's okay now.

The first hit from the album was "Bring Me Some Water" which I didn't care for at the time. (It has since grown on me.) "Like I Do" was the second hit from the album that I REALLY liked and bought the album for it. I was not disappointed. I also really like "Don't You Need."

Even though they didn't sing a note on any of the songs on this album, it was a huge scandal that was revealed in 1990, I think that they deserved an Emmy or an Oscar for the shows that they put on.
I mean I don't know how they could be that stupid and not sing their own songs since I saw a video of Fab Morvan singing and he's got a pretty decent voice.

I love searching outside of what was popular in North America for reasons like this ...
This one is called Joy Toy by a Swedish group called Trance Dance and was a Top 20 hit in Sweden in 1988. I found this doing random searches for 80s music and it's so catchy!

They might be auto-generated. Often times, the auto-generated captions are incorrect.
However, the only thing that's the same in both the English and German versions is "Captain Kirk."

If you close your eyes you would've thought it was his Father singing this song. :o
I think that at this point Julian had a lot of animosity towards John because he was the unloved and neglected oldest child that his father didn't want. But recently at his photography gallery in NYC he made peace with his extended family Yoko and Sean so that he could let that animosity of his go.

Here is Tonight Tonight by a rock band called Pretty Rough. I found this at a local record store for $5, and I'd never heard of it before, but it looked interesting, was a 1982 release and had the Canadian Content logo on it so I was all over it. While it's still not something I have ever heard before, I am really loving it. This song was a single and is quite catchy ...

This was one of my favourite songs growing up. British singer Ruby Turner appears on this song, but I don't ever remember her name mentioned when I would hear this on the radio, nor does her name appear on the back cover, but it does on the inside album linear notes. As you can hear, she is 100% duet vocalist so I like to give her credit where it's due!

Okay, this might be pushing it a bit, but the song I'm going to share was on a 1979 album, but it was released as a single in early 1980 and had its chart run during the first half of the year. (So if anything, it might be considered a decade cusp song.)
"Too Hot" by Kool & The Gang:
I chose it because the title describes the weather where I am today.

Always reminds me of one time my first husband and I were visiting his hometown and went out to eat with a bunch of his high school friends. This song came on and one of his friends said that they liked the song but didn't know what it meant. I told them that I thought it was about a relationship that was dying in so many words. My then husband looked at me and KNEW that I wasn't just talking about the song but about our marriage. I was really surprised that he picked up on that because he wasn't the brightest crayon in the box. Of course his friends had no idea.

Here is a 1982 single called Tonight Tonight by a short lived group from Edmonton called Pretty Rough. This one was a blind buy in a pawn shop. I had never heard of this group, but I saw the album on the shelf and it was $5 and I decided to give it a chance and it is such a good album. I now listen to this song quite often...

Nielsen/Pearson - The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore (1981)
This peaked at #56 in the US and is performed by an American duo of Reed Nielsen and Mark Pearson. It was supposed to appear on an LP called Atomic Cafe that never got released, so this song remained a single only release. I first had heard this song on a K-Tel album from 1982 called Night Flight that I found at a Flea Market back in the 90s and pre-YouTube days, this song was super hard to find
I have always been a firm believer of songs that don't make the Top 40, are sometimes better than ones that do, and this one is an excellent example! One of my most favourite songs ever!

Just got my hands on some The Clash albums, here's one to enjoy:
The Clash - Train In Vain (Stand By Me) (1980) :)
Great selection! O0
Even though it’s from a 1979 album, it was a hit in the States in 1980. My scales tilt it in favor of 1980 as well. O0

In the late 80s, there were more boy bands in the UK chart than the US/Canada and some of them should have been stars over here such as this.. From 1988, here is The Harder I Try by Brother Beyond

Mick Jagger and Tina Turner perform "State of Shock" and "It's Only Rock and Roll" at Live Aid, JFK Stadium, Philadelphia on July 13, 1985. Mick pulling Tina's skirt off at 4:23 was the original "wardrobe malfunction". I still don't know if it was a planned thing or if it was Mick being devilish. Tina seems genuinely shocked and in hurry to exit the stage.

Here's one that is often overlooked and doesn't get enough love. Patrick Simmons is a founding member of The Doobie Brothers and the only member of that group to appear on every album they have released. In 1982, he released a solo album called Arcade and reached the US Top 40 with the song So Wrong. This one is catchy!

I’ve never cared for the videos in general. In fact, during that span I only heard the music on radio, stereo, or some sort of audio system. My household did not have cable tv when I was growing up.

Kool & the Gang is a band who were known in the 70s for their funk and soul hits, but in 1979, they embraced a more danceable beat with the addition of new vocalist J.T. Taylor and the 80s became their most commercial successful period. From 1986, this is Victory, which peaked at #10 in the US, #30 in the UK and #36 in Canada. This one must be cranked loud, it's so good!!
