what song is that from

Good job Rottenlemur. Just one more ramblin´dude. All we need are some tasty waves and a cool buzz.

I still don't gknow what #4 is but it's the last thing I heard from my ex as the door was slammin' on me ass.

Rottenlemur correct

CRASH was performed by THE PRIMITIVES, a British indie pop band formed in Coventry, England in 1985 by singer KIERON (later replaced by TRACY TRACY), guitarist PAUL COURT, bassist STEVE DULLAGHAN and drummer PETE TWEEDIE. Prior to releasing their debut album, TWEEDIE was dismissed and replaced by TIG WILLIAMS who played on that first set called LOVELY from where CRASH was lifted from. The song made the Modern Rock Tracks Chart peaking at #3 on September 10, 1988. Upon recording their second album PURE, DULLAGHAN was replaced by PAUL SAMPSON. The group disbanded after their album, 1991's GALORE. CRASH was re-released in 1995 as CRASH-THE '95 MIX and peaked at #33 on the Modern Rock Tracks on March 11, 1995. Yes, you are right, it is 80's and 90's as well.

Next....

Ok guess I'll have another shot just to keep the thread going

lets move to the 80's
what a glorious time, disco balls, legwarmers and spandex.

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

but the music was good.

1 - I didnt know if I wanted to laugh or cry, the night that disco died, the lazer lights werekicking off my dancing shoes.

2 - You're rolling over in clover so refined, But you can't fix this broken heart of mine

3 - Dont need a whore, I dont need no booze, Dont need a virgin priest, But I need someone I can cry to, I need someone to protect

4 - When I'm playing my old guitar, I know what I'm living for 'Cos that's all I wanna do, Keep right on rocking you

5 - Somewhere out in the back of your mind, Comes your real life and the life that you know

6 - I wanna glide down over mulholland, I wanna write her name in the sky, Gonna free fall out into nothin, Gonna leave this world for a while

7 - Well, you can give me all your love and anything else you got too, But don't pay it any mind, If it seems like I'm acting cool

8 - Jump back, whats that sound, Here she comes, full blast and top down. Hot shoe, burnin down the avenue, model citizen, zero discipline

9 - Say my name, sun shines through the rain, A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain

10 - The distant shadows of forgotten champions, Those who live in me still and will rise when we challenge and kill

Let's see.... Won't touch number 5, or ramblin'man will have a bone to pick with me.....

4. Status quo - I love rock and roll
6. Tom Petty - Free fallin'

No way Mr. Wacky White-Meat, go ahead and make your claim. No bones about it, she doesn't really bother me very much. Except when she's singing.

Even though my dislike for much of the 80s is well known, I'm still gonna get me some shuga while the gettin's good. And I HAVE to do #10.


3. Rolling Stones - Waiting on a Friend

8. Van Halen - Panama. Uhhh, not to be confused with "Panama Red", by New Riders of the Purple Sage.

Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight
I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off...

9. Bangles - that sappy Eternal Flame song. Hey, have I mentioned that I met Susanna Hoffs? Oh, I've mentioned it twice already?

10. Black Sabbath - Born Again. At that point, RJDio had left the band, and Mr. Ian Gillan was doing the vocals for BS. You know, Ian Gillan the ex-lead singer of Deep Purple ... Ian Gillan who was the original Jesus Christ on the first studio album for the musical Jesus Christ Superstar in 1970 (and who was offerred the lead in the famous 1973 movie but got shot down when he wanted his whole Deep Purple band to get paid for time missed, and the role thankfully went to the American Ted Neeley who had done the role on Broadway and in L.A.) ... Ian Gillan who had tried a few solo bands and flopped. Then with Black Sabbath, he recorded that one album Born Again in 1983 -- you know, the one with the devil baby thing on the cover -- and which had such "emotionally and spiritually uplifting" songs like Disturbing the Priest, Zero the Hero, and that all-time classic: Digital Bitch. Then again, that instrumental song (second song, name escapes me) was kinda interesting in a "gee let's go desecrate a church" kinda way. JK, it wasn't that bad, kinda moody and spacey, actually.

So yeah in my extremely deranged brain, when I hear any part of that Black Sabbath album, it makes me think of Ian Gillan which makes me think of Jesus. That's pretty fucked up.

Always liked the pom Murray Head, who did Judas on that JCS album and then had a few hits as a soloist in the UK. His biggest hit was of course "One Night In Bangkok" in 1984 (from the show Chess). And of course his brother Anthony was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Judas in the movie version of JCS was played by Carl Anderson (RIP), who replaced Ben Vereen on Broadway and then played the role in the movie, despite thousands of death threats for being black and in that movie. You know, Carl Anderson who had a big hit in 1986 with "Friends and Lovers", a duet with Gloria Loring. See, all that 1980s stuff.

Wow, this is really a way out there tangent, even for me, but I'm going to finish it by saying that in the movie version of JCS, the role of Peter was played by the VERY FAMOUS pRon star and director/producer Paul Thomas. Good looks, a big dick, and my boy could sing well too. Wow. I mean, there are so very few of us in the world, after all.

#2 is right on the tip of my brain, argh. One hit wonder in the US. Sheidt. Mmmmph. Grrrrrr.

MassivelyDigressin'Man

LMAO

Hey Chick Chick, nice sig by the way. I'm sure SD will appreciate it as well since Robert Zimmerman is one of his favs.

I'm going to have to start drinking very early today Darkstar, after reading that you'll be leaving us for good in a while. I hope it takes you a long time to do those last ~135 posts.

Also, my presidential candidate, Bill Richard.son, is giving up his run here in the US. He was far and away the most qualified of all the Democrats, if not all the candidates. But he couldn't compete financially with the other Dems. Fuckin' politics, where the richest end up winning and we end up having to pick the least evil.

Okay its 10:45am here and I'm off to find some booze. Its gonna be a long day. I see Jack waiting for me. He's already calling to me, enticing me. Must resist, its just too early for a guy my age. A guy my age not named Slade.

Bummin'Man

Wanna tell you a story,
About the house-man blues
I come home one Friday,
Had to tell the landlady I'd-a lost my job
She said that don't confront me,
Long as I get my money next Friday
Now next Friday come I didn't get the rent,
And out the door I went

So I goes to the landlady,
I said, "You let me slide?"
I'll have the rent for you in a month.
Next I don't know
So said let me slide it on you know people,
I notice when I come home in the evening
She ain't got nothing nice to say to me,
But for five year she was so nice
Loh' she was lovy-dovy,
I come home one particular evening
The landlady said, "You got the rent money yet?",
I said, "No, can't find no job"
Therefore I ain't got no money to pay the rent
She said "I don't believe you're tryin' to find no job"
Said "I seen you today you was standin' on a corner,
Leaning up against a post"
I said "But I'm tired, I've been walkin' all day"
She said "That don't confront me,
Long as I get my money next Friday"
Now next Friday come I didn't have the rent,
And out the door I went

So I go down the streets,
Down to my good friend's house
I said "Look man I'm outdoors you know,
Can I stay with you maybe a couple days?"
He said "Let me go and ask my wife"
He come out of the house,
I could see it in his face
I know that was no
He said "I don't know man, ah she kinda funny, you know"
I said "I know, everybody funny, now you funny too"
So I go back home
I tell the landlady I got a job, I'm gonna pay the rent
She said "Yeah?" I said "Oh yeah"
And then she was so nice,
Loh' she was lovy-dovy
So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go,
I slip on out the back door and down the streets I go
She a-howlin' about the front rent, she'll be lucky to get any back rent,
She ain't gonna get none of it
So I stop in the local bar you know people,
I go to the bar, I ring my coat, I call the bartender
Said "Look man, come down here", he got down there
So what you want?

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
Well I ain't seen my baby since I don't know when,
I've been drinking bourbon, whiskey, scotch and gin
Gonna get high man I'm gonna get loose,
Need me a triple shot of that juice
Gonna get drunk don't you have no fear
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

But I'm sitting now at the bar,
I'm getting drunk, I'm feelin' mellow
I'm drinkin' bourbon, I'm drinkin' scotch, I'm drinkin' beer
Looked down the bar, here come the bartender
I said "Look man, come down here"
So what you want?

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No I ain't seen my baby since the night before last,
Gotta get a drink man I'm gonna get gassed
Gonna get high man I ain't had enough,
Need me a triple shot of that stuff
Gonna get drunk won't you listen right here,
I want one bourbon, one shot and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

Now by this time I'm plenty high,
You know when your mouth a-getting dry you're plenty high
Looked down the bar I say to my bartender
I said "Look man, come down here", he got down there
So what you want this time?
I said "Look man, a-what time is it?"
He said "The clock on the wall say three o'clock
Last call for alcohol, so what you need?"

One bourbon, one scotch, one beer
No I ain't seen my baby since a nigh' and a week,
Gotta get drunk man till I can't even speak
Gonna get high man listen to me,
One drink ain't enough Jack you better make it three
I wanna get drunk I'm gonna make it real clear,
I want one bourbon, one scotch and one beer
One bourbon, one scotch, one beer

I'll have another go:

1. Monitors - Singing in the 80's
2. Rocky Burnette - Tired of toein' the line
5. Stevie Nicks - Rooms on fire

well done guys, the only one missing was that awsome blond Wendy James.

"I Want Your Love" is a song from UK pop/rock band Transvision Vamp. It is regarded as one of their signature songs and was the song to really bring them into the spotlight. I Want Your Love reached the top 10 in Australia and the Top 5 in the UK in 1988. It was taken from the band's debut album Pop Art

Transvision Vamp was a popular UK alternative rock group. Formed in 1986 by Nick Christian Sayer and Wendy James[1], the band enjoyed a brief period of success in the late 1980s, fusing elements of punk, art rock and the "big band" sound of Phil Spector. James, the lead singer and focal-point of the group, attracted media attention with her sexually-charged and rebellious image.

Together with Dave Parsons and Anthony Doughty (AKA Tex Axile) made up the band's four permanent members. Additional members Pol Burton, James Piper and Martin Hallett were musicians engaged to play during live concerts: Burton, then later Hallett (AKA Mallet), on drums, and Piper on guitar.[2]

The band was signed by MCA and released a cover single of the Holly and the Italians song "Tell That Girl To Shut Up" in April 1988, but it only reached number 45 in the UK singles chart. A month later the follow-up single "I Want Your Love", with its pop/punk crossover appeal, entered the Top 10, and peaked at number 5 in the United Kingdom. Minor success was achieved with 2 further singles, titled Revolution Baby & Sister Moon, which reached 30 & 41 respectively in the UK singles chart in 1988. The band went on to release the hit album Pop Art in October. It stayed on the album chart for 32 weeks, peaking at number 4.

1989 was the band's most successful year, with the number 3 hit single "Baby I Don't Care" and hit album Velveteen, which went straight into the UK album chart at No.1 and stayed on the chart for 26 weeks

In 1990 MCA refused to release Transvision Vamp's third album Little Magnets Versus The Bubble Of Babble in the UK, reportedly disliking the mellower direction of the music.[citation needed] Wendy James has stated "...it came out in America and did better than the other two albums in America. But then we decided to split up, during which time the English record label had said they weren't convinced about this record, we're going to hold off on it and see how well it does in other countries first. By the time they were ready to release it, we'd already decided to split up, and so it never came out."

James went on to a solo career and in 2004 formed the band Racine.

back to the quiz
I remember being in my teenage years, but that was 2000 years ago, but I do remember the release of the single "singing in the 80's" and how true the lyrics were for so many reasons.

You gotta help us get back on the track again mack
You gotta help us get back over the wa-all
I can see Sergeant Pepper standin' high on a hill
With George, John, Ringo and Pau-aul, a-and Paul

aaaah what a wonderful time the 80's were for so many reasons, good honest chuck Norris movies like Lone Wolf McQuade, the rise of John Claude Van Dame in the movie Bloodsport (1988), Bon Jovi released "slippery when wet" the time of greats like Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Dio, Scorpions, just to name a few. Kristy McNicol was still in the closet about being a Lesbian so we could still fantasise about her. the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989. Australia FINALLY won the Americas Cup in 1983. The wonderful Big Hair of the sexy women and the oohh so cute leg warmers.

Man what a time to be alive.

there were of cause some other totally amazing events but this is a music thread.

Hey RM, pass the damn bottle

I agree!!! So many fond memories.... The first time my fingers smelled like pussy , my first beer, the first time I was stoned, atari, nintendo ( I have several old nintendo 8-bit games on my computer plus emulator), comodore 64.... The list goes on and on.... The dutch and belgian members here might also recall one of my favourite tv shows from that decade, The pin-up club (30 minutes of naked girls).

The 90's were even better! I gotta screw on a regular bases (I'm only 30 years old, 31 in a couple of months).

Here's another set from the "funky_fowl"

1.

Last night I had the strangest dream
I sailed away to China, in a little rowboat to find ya


2.
She said
She'd take me anywhere
She'd take me anywhere
As long as she stays with me


3.
Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, do you speak-a my language?
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich


4.
Marvin, he was a friend of mine
And he could sing a song
His heart in every line


5.
When all is said and done
I'll always be your son
But all is not forgiven


6.
Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.


7.
I heat up, I cant cool down
You got me spinnin
round and round


8.
Sun is shinin' in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin' ev'rybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day hey,hey


9.
She's the kind of girl you dream of
Dream of keeping hold of
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it


10.
In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise

Hides the face
Lies the snake
The sun
