Friday OT #2 - Before You Go-Go
- Thread starter Angie
- Start date
Something just occurred to me: That cross-generational exchange used to be common, but with the roles reversed. It was the grown-up asking the youngster, "Is that a girl or a boy?"
"Round and Round" is an example of an '80s metal song that, if you remove the visuals, has aged quite well, in my opinion. It has plenty of 80s elements, but doesn't sound quicksanded in its era. (The Crue has a few that fit that description, too ... topic for another time).
mix tape and playing it on my sony walkman while i detassel!
3/4 credit. So what does she win? Anything below the stereo and on this side of the bicentennial glasses. Anything between the ashtrays and the thimble. Anything in this three inches right in this area. That includes the Chiclets, but not the erasers.
That sounds like an old cliche - is it a woman or a man? Probably a question that was asked a decade or so before.
Man, I'd always get pissed when the DJ would talk over the intro to the song when I was trying to record off the radio. My high school cross country coach DJ'd for a radio station when he was in college and he said he did that kind of thing on purpose.
And one of the "one hit wonders"!! Soft Cell!
OK, so how do we feel about this one:
We got synthesizers, tight pants, and a sweaty Boss. No crazy hair, though.
EDIT: Also, Courtney Cox in the video.

This was covered by David Gray early 2000s very well but also popped up on Master of None....apparently did well in the UK but not sure about the US.
Food for thought:
What if Kurtwood Smith rather than Curt Smith had been in Tears for Fears? How would their music and lyrics have been different?
Angie has 3/4 credit.
500 has 1/2 credit.
That equals 5/4th credit. There's math but at least it doesn't check out.
Is this like 1 billion equaling 10,000 million in the UK but only 1,000 million in the US?
Maths are hard...
