ahahaah that does not necessarily sound positive
welcome to 1980, when men looked like walruses and human skin could only survive through the extensive use of leather
Well, it is a Canadian band so there's that. this group reminds me a lot of Asia btw
Sounds like Styx, maybe.Quote:

Wulfgar!!! Perfect song for an all time classic scene in cinema.
I love how random and playful everything in this vid is. Nice contrast between sad lyrics and upbeat vid
Some record company exec must have been the brains behind that video. LolQuote:

Chic were a major influence on 80s pop.

How did we forget about Chic? Thanks for the video. I haven't listened to them in forever. This was from the 70s, but Nile Rodger and that baseline!
They produced so many great songs for others in the 80s eg Madonna, Duran Duran.
I was wondering how I remembered the Carly Simon vid. It must have been from here lol.Quote:

^^Great band. Too bad Mozzer became a tosser.
^^80's music videos were something else
Sandra from Saarbrücken, Germany ... 1985 ... a number 1 hit in 21 countries including Egypt
Today I found out Sandra also did the female vocals for 'Sadeness' by Enigma (source Wiki bio page)
^^Yep. I'm a fan of hers.
they were huge in Europe. And they had an especially dedicated following in France, where they still get asked back on tv shows with their eighties hits
although they're American as I understand it their career never really took off in the US
they had a string of hits down here, like 4 HUGE singles from two albums that sold well. the male and female singer make for a nice vocal combo
I used to do karaoke of their hits when drunk. I can't sing for shit lol
I can't post the video but Tory Lanez just dropped a dope 80s album

Dayumn they really didn't give a flying 747, right? Commercial suicide never sounded better. Now you're gonna surprise me and tell me this was actually a single?Quote:
