Oh my dog. Aimee and I had the same wedding song.
Also, if you're gonna go with the Fame soundtrack for 1980, you could always go with "Red Light" and recall the joys of Leroy being discovered while afro-chick fumed.
Oh, God. Oh, God. My hair. My hair! The government gave me bad hair!
Cordelia ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Btw, the Peter Gabriel album from 1980 is his third (and third called Peter Gabriel), the one where his face is melting. It has "Games Without Frontiers", "I Don't Remember" and "Biko".

"Games Without Frontiers"
I can't shut up today.
This is my "funniest" misunderstood lyrics song. Before I realized the chorus was "games without frontiers" in French, I thought they were saying "she's so pop-u-lar" but then a friend explained NO it was "she's so funky. yeah."
I was so amused with both of us when I realized it wasn't even English.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My first choice would have been "I'll Cover You," from Rent, but the other person whose opinion matters does not like that song.
Man, I would love to have that for my wedding song! But it's an awkward tempo for dancing, I think. God, I love that song. It kind of makes me mist up even just thinking about it.

I still remember two classmates of my sister's (which would make it fall of '80/winter of '81, don't remember when volleyball season was) going on about AC/DC's "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap": "'Dirty deeds. Thunder chief.' What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
1980 B-52s: gotta go "Strobe Light", mang.

That was what Patrick said. He also doesn't like the voice of the actor who played Angel on the cast recording I have.
We ended up getting a band anyhow.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
I finally checked for my year I was born.
Sticky Fingers. Blue. Tupelo Honey. I am spoiled for choice.

That's Kate Bush (edit: doing the BVs), and she's saying "jeux sans frontiers" (did I get that right? It's "games without frontiers" in French)
