A Conversation for Growing Up in the 1980s
Catchy Pop Lyrics
Ashley Started conversation Jul 5, 2002
The 1980s was the decade of really catchy pop tunes. They are still memorable today and, with a little nudge or intro, the memories will come flooding back. So I apologise in advance, but I guarantee you will know these lyrics and hum at least one of them all day. Cake for the person who names the songs and the singers. 
'Oh Mickey what a pity you don't understand'
'I'm in the Mood, I'm in the Mood, I'm in the Mood for ...'
'It's Christmas Time'
'Goddess on a Mountain Top'
'You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar'
'I made it through the wilderness'

Get arrested and sent for psychiatric analysis, apparently....
"Challenging pre-conceived ideas"
"Strong is the leather that's strapped to my skin"
"Even a slight remark makes nonsense and turns to shark"
Aaah - they don't write songs like that anymore....

You've got me on those Cloviscat. 
"Hi Fidelity Hi!" 
"Fame! I'm gonna live Forever"
"Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, Let Me Rock You Chaka Khan...
I Feel For You, I think I love You"

'Oh Mickey what a pity you don't understand' from Mickey By Toni Basil
'I'm in the Mood, I'm in the Mood, I'm in the Mood for ...' From I'm In The Mood For Dancing By The Nolan Sisters
'It's Christmas Time' From Do They Know It's Christmas By Band Aid
'Goddess on a Mountain Top' From Venus By Bananarama

'I made it through the wilderness' From Like A Virgin By Madonna
'Don't drink, don't smoke...What do you do?' From Goodie Two Shoes By Adam & The Ants (the correct answer back in the 80's was of course - Sniff Glue!)
"Challenging pre-conceived ideas" From New Song By Howard Jones
"Strong is the leather that's strapped to my skin"
"Even a slight remark makes nonsense and turns to shark"
Those 2 I don't recognise, they sound like spandau ballet though?

"Strong is the leather that's strapped to my skin" Sounds like "Musclebound" - Spandau Ballet
"Even a slight remark makes nonsense and turns to shark" - "Party Fears Too" - The Associates (RIP Billy Mackenzie - top bloke!)
