10 Best Blends of 80’s Music and Hair
It was the decade where "Greed was good," Crockett and Tubbs were dapper and Nagel was art. Today, Hipsters now where "Docksiders," keep their color up on a pastel Lacoste (we called them Izods) and sport the iconic Wayfarers. Where did this all begin?
I WANT MY MTV
We laugh at the goofy fashion, the cheesy videos and the awful television.
Does anyone remember “My Two Dads” or was that a really bad hallucination I had?
But, unlike the 70’s and its tendency toward idiocracy (Disco Fever?), the 80’s delivered iconoclastic images that we can be proud of. Great era.
A wonderful bass line. Some velvety synth. And a liltingly great voice. Voila, you’ve got an ’80’s staple.
I still remember the first time I saw this flippin’ cool video. It was at an 8th grade birthday party for a girl name Bridget. She had enormous hair. She was soooo cute.
Funny thing about this video. When I first saw it, I found nothing at all odd about their clothes or hair.
One facet I never questioned about the music videos in the 1980’s: The correlation between the song and what the heck was going on in the video. Bonnie and Clyde? Robin Hood? What the hell is this video about?
I still play this song on my iPod.
Anyone really seen the X-rated version of this video? Yes, I know of the “uncensored” version.
But when I was in the 9th grade, that was like a totally big deal. And we were sure a XXX version existed
My mom, age 66, wears a lot of these same clothes.
What happen to the saxophone in today’s music? What happen to Rob Lowe? Anyone?
Why don’t people walk around in trench coats at night with loads of eye-liner singing about how much they want you anymore? Really?
I dated a girl named… I’ll call her “Heather.” Actually, that’s her name. This was “our” song. I was 17. I drove a Monte Carlo with a t-bar roof. So did she. I am not making this up.
