I heard this song last night at the restaurant where we were having dinner and I was taken back to a great era in music. This song is smooth, soulful and very 1980’s British Pop (which I love).
The movie “The Wedding Singer” features this song as the last music you hear with Steve Buchemi singing.
Title song from the film That Thing You Do!, as performed by The Wonders.
This is one of my favorite Tom Hanks movies. Set in the era of early rock and roll this movie is stylish and fun.
The 1980’s hair band Europe seems to be back in fashion. Their song “The Final Coundown” is featured in a series of commercials for the Geico Insurance company. Everything old is new again it seems. I remember this song from the fist time it was released back in 1986. This song takes me back to some good times in life.
Official video of Blondie performing Rapture from the album Autoamerican. I have been a Blondie fan for years. This song takes elements of punk, rap and pop and fuses it together nicely.
The Bangles from way back in 1985. It just seems appropriate for the day. This song has aged very well and is a modern classic.
This song is a powerful anthem of empowerment for anyone. It was also in the sound track to the movie “The Legend of Billie Jean” which was one of the cooler flicks of the 1980’s and starred Helen Slater and Christian Slater.
