Not sure if this has been done before, but pretty much if you find something you know someone else would like, share it with them or let them know about it.


This one's for Erin, and the topic is '80s songs that have a strong '50s or early-mid '60s influence with a link to a YouTube video for the song, if they exist. I know you're into doo wop and alot of other "Fifties" sounds. Some of these are more popular, while some are rarer or album tracks, but I know you'll probably like all these. I do, and I'm not sure if there's anything we don't have in common. ;)


Don't Try to Stop It - Roman Holliday (I already showed you this one, but thought I would again)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMXYcPnySxg

Sea of Love - The Honeydrippers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLDNjzrjbAY

Possession Obsession - Hall and Oates (it's so catchy and sorta middle tempo, I think it's one of their best songs, It was a hit single, just probably less popular. They're even dressed '50ish in the video).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAmgHGtOeJ0

The Longest Time - Billy Joel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smeyf8nhM5Q

Doing it All For My Baby - Huey Lewis (love the Frankenstein spinoff video too - the music starts around 3:40)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIH8xctqGUw

Uptown Boys - Louise Goffin (it's from the Fast Times soundtrack - very girl groupish)

High School Nights - Dave Edmunds (it's like Survivor/Loverboyish '80s arena rock, but in a way that evokes a rebellious and fun '50s high school experience)

Little Wild One - Marshall Crenshaw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R85DIBGBtFA

California Girls - David Lee Roth (actual music starts at 1:15 - looks like it was taped from MTV back in the actual '80s too!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmbhfI8f_Ek

Voice of America's Sons - John Cafferty (his stuff is all ike a more retro Born in the USA-era Bruce Springsteen)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWJhuHWzrqA

You Can't Hurry Love - Phil Collins
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brWVEHkP0Bs

Rock and Roll is King - ELO (I know you're really into them, so I picked a less common song)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZWXnkfZ-bY

Crumblin' Down - John Mellencamp
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SumeTcAsu7E

Shoop Shoop Song - Cher
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX58TfMj5UI

My Girl - Donnie Iris (sort of a medium tempo love song. Imagine like a more retro Eddie Money or Billy Squier)

Mcfly,you're going to win her heart ;)

My Girl - Donnie Iris (sort of a medium tempo love song. Imagine like a more retro Eddie Money or Billy Squier)


Donnie Iris is/was a Pittsburgh icon, and they loved playing him there for many years.  I'm sure she would definately know who he is.


I went to a Halloween costume/decoration store tonight and saw a costume that Erin would love (I think).

http://www.clicket.com/images/15918.jpg
http://www.clicket.com/images/15917.jpg

^ I'd never heard of him at all until I saw a few of his songs on '80s compilations (I love eighties music and I buy CDs/tapes and things like that at goodwill shops and secondhand stores all the time). I usually find out things about artists by doing research or reading reviews, etc. Although of course I know about some from back in the day during the actual '80s or early-mid '90s...when I watched VH1 or whatnot. But yeah, I think there is some truth about artists remaining kinda more popular in their hometowns (Bruce Springsteen is huge in Jersey from what I know), so I wouldn't be surprised if she's heard of him.

Yeah, I think she'll like that costume too.


Mcfly,you're going to win her heart ;)


Thanks, but we're just friends, lol. :)

I still think Erin would look good with Joan Jett leathers.  8)

This fell down the list before it could even reach a page, lol. ;)

Oh wow...I totally missed this thread, and it's a good one..for sure!! :)  Thanks for all of the song recommendations Jess, I know a bunch of them...but there were some that I haven't heard of.  And yes, I totally know who Donny Iris is. You can't be from the Pittsburgh area w/o knowing/hearing of him! :D ;D


AND, Patty, those costumes are simply adorable! I just need to lose a few more pounds, and then I could totally rock something like that! :)


And Wayne...your obsession with Joan Jett leather is starting to worry me! hahaahah...just kidding! ;) ;D  For that...I must lose more than a few pounds! ;)

^ Thanks lol, I had you in mind when I thought of all that too. :)

BTW, I'd never heard of Iris, but I wonder if he's to you guys like Huey Lewis (well, at least in the early-mid '80s) or Smashmouth were/are for the Bay Area? I've always heard lots of Huey's songs on the radio here, but apparently that's kinda less so with people elsewhere.

For the record, I know I've said this so many times now that it's probably started to lose its effect...but seriously, I don't think you need to lose a single pound (unless you want to). There's no way you could look any better than you do now anyway. As far as celebrities, I've thought you sorta look like the early '90s Amy Grant - just alot younger and cuter. :)

Ya, he's kind of a local celebrity around here...and has performed at local venues and events on occasions.


You are too kind...and you're making me blush! lol!  I still have some weight to lose (I've lost a lot so far) to get back to where I once was. Like I said before...I don't want to be skinny....just comfortable. :)  But thank you for the super nice compliments. http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/06/llkiss.gif

I recommend this to anyone who loves catchy music ...

They are a band from my hometown called Bedouin Soundclash.  In 2005, they topped the Canadian chart with 'When the Night Feels My Song', which hovered in the Top 100 for close to a year, and even found it's way in to the UK Top 40.  In 2006, the song was used in an ad campain for T-Mobile UK adverts, and it re-charted in the UK Top 40

Their latest album recently gave them a Top 10 hit in Canada with the song 'Walls Fall Down'.  To my knowledge, none of these songs have spilled over into the American charts yet, but hopefully one day they will be popular there

BTW, about what you said before, thanks in return. Everything I say is totally natural and I really believe it. You should only change something in yourself if it's something you want, and not for anyone else. But like I said, I don't think there's anything wrong with your appearance, personality or anything else at all. Don't let anyone tell you there is either. :)

It's definitely for me, for sure. I've come too far to turn back now. I just tried on every single pair of jeans in my closet..and they are all too big for me. I'm packing them up and giving them to a friend...and now I have to buy new ones! :D

Your old jeans are now too big !  ??? You must be one of the few exceptions. In my case, it's the other way around ... as that 'middle aged spread' continues to stake it's claim ...  :-[ :\'(

Aah. There goes 'Mr. Mister'. Faster than a speeding snail. More powerful than a paper bag.  Able to leap small molehills in a single bound !  :-[ :P  ;D

I love that show!  It's just hard to find on BBC America anymore, I happened to catch a few episode here and there, but that was all.  :-[

Did you know that Simon Pegg is supposed to play Scotty in the new Star Trek movie (almost ready to start filming in November)?

So should I show you more? ;D



nah, no thanks!

that's great!! thanks! :)

You know what, I've never seen Streets of Fire, but I've heard it's loosely a story about rock and roll and basic teenage life in the future (although it's never specified when it is).

That said, I love "I Can Dream About You" and even have the vaguest, vaguest memories of hearing it on the radio when it came out in 1984 (even if I didn't buy it and get into it again until the mid '90s). It's catchy pop/rock, but definitely has an old school R&B influence on top of it.

Oh Please,I insist. ;D

'Streets of Fire' is the greatest movie of the 80s 8)

There are alot of people out there who don't know that song came from 'Streets of Fire', and generally assume that guy singing is Dan Hartman

Two other awesome ones from it is the opening song 'Nowhere Fast' and the closing song 'Tonight is What it Means to Be Young', both performed by Fire Inc.  The latter was actually a minor hit in the US

Nowhere Fast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTXJfOd3qv4
Tonight is What it Means to Be Young: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9CIETjy2u8


Since both songs were a Jim Steinman production, in came Meat Loaf in 1986, and turned 'Nowhere Fast' into a minor UK hit ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syhbKcQuKiA

But he changed it too much to suit his style of music.  Give me the Fire Inc original anyday

Did Hartman do a cover version of the song from the movie? I didn't know that and always assumed it was his song. Like I said, I've never watched the movie, only heard things about it here and there, so I can't say from personal experience (just generally speaking, I'm knowledgeable about '80s music and '90s television and movies).

What is Streets of Fireabout? I get the impression it's about general teenage/young life in the future that isn't necesarilly about rock and roll per se, but that has a backdrop to the movie.

The movie is about a singer (Diane Lane) who gets kidnapped by the leader of a gang and her ex-boyfriend (Michael Pare) is called in to rescue her. I don't want to say any more because I don't give away too much of the movie. Yeah, it has a futuristic feel to it but it also has a 50ish feel to it, too. I HIGHLY recommend watching the film. It is a good one.

He's a cute kitty.  I think he's a baby Scottish Fold kitten.  I've always wanted one.  Scottish Fold Cats (2 of them) were the mascots of a United States book distributor named Baker and Taylor, which my library used.  So every catalog we'd get would have a picture of the two cats.  Anyways to make a long story short (too late), thanks...it's cute.  ;D

When I said this in one of my posts  "I shall call him George.  I will love him, and pet him and squeeze him...", it was a sort of infamous line from a Bugs Bunny cartoon, where Bugs is snatched up a big Abominable Snowman who utters the line while cuddling Bugs (much to Bugs' chagrin).

Both of my cats are indoor cats...so they don't get the chance to chase birds...however, they like to stand by the window and "chirp" at them sometimes! LOL!!

Cats chirp? I didn't know that.  ;D

I know, isn't that funny? ;D  But seriously, my cats do. They sit by the window and when they see birds on the telephone wires...they make these funny chirping noises....it's too funny! :D

Mine does that too. Sometimes they will open their mouth as if to "chirp" but nothing comes out. Yeah, it is funny. Maybe they are trying to do "bird calls" like hunters will use decoys. lol



Cat

my cat used to click his teeth together as well.  I think he was telling the birds what he'd like to do to them

Yes, I watched it too. Those laser pens look like a great way to tease your cat / make it exercise .. without requiring too much exercise on your own part !  ;D

hahahaa...yes, that's exactly what my cats do. And Cat, mine sometime try and don't make noises either...it is SOOO funny!! ;D ;D

I don't know,were they?

I remember a meow mix commercial where they were in a recording studio, and the cat kept coughing as she was singing "meow meow meow meow".  I laughed my butt off everything I saw it.

Still looking for the woem commercial though.
I just can't find that particular commercial on youtube.

I was sitting here enjoying rock & roll videos on Youtube, & found one that I'd like to recommend to Tanya1976, who we all know is a big fan of the late Marc Bolan/T-Rex and this also goes out to anyone else here that likes to "Get It On" 
                      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTuYFlz_etI
this was performed live in the UK in 1971 & I enjoyed watching this so much that my new ring tone on my cellphone is Bang A Gong (Get It On)  8)

Thanks, but if I were any cooler, I'd be sinking the 'son of Titanic'. I have more fans than I know what to do with.

Suggest you induct ^ into your own 'fan club'.

I just did.

However .... every new member to MY club gets bribed with a free one of these ...

A preview of the new Eagles album

http://www.theriver1059.com/cc-common/news/sections/special/eagles.html

The movie is about a singer (Diane Lane) who gets kidnapped by the leader of a gang and her ex-boyfriend (Michael Pare) is called in to rescue her. I don't want to say any more because I don't give away too much of the movie. Yeah, it has a futuristic feel to it but it also has a 50ish feel to it, too. I HIGHLY recommend watching the film. It is a good one.




Cat




My friend Lisa loved the movie so much, she named her first car after Michael Pare's character, Cody.  :P
