flutterscotch Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Inspired by a bout of 80's silliness in the chat just now, I thought it would be fun to start a huge thread of the best and the worst of the 80's, music, cartoon and tv show theme songs! Not a real radio station, but fun anyway!I'm gonna kick it off with a Little Men at Work Followed by some Getalong Gang Link to comment

flutterscotch Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Today's Edition? Big hair, synths and ....puppets: Music from classic 80's fantasy movies.Limhal - Neverending Story oddly, I heard this song on the radio well before I actually saw the movie. It was actually WHY I wanted to see the movie.Bowie, and possible his next-to-Ziggy awesomeest.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxoE2az9mJM No official music video, and only one puppet, but the opening titles from Krull certainly qualify, especially when combined with Lysette Anthony's big ass red wig.

brianblackberry Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Well the Eighties is certainly known for those cheesy Eighties hair metal bands and one of the cheesiest is definately Grim Reaper. See you in Hell: Rock you to Hell: Feel a theme here? Link to comment

Ginger Mint Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 hi hiThis may be a stretch, but it has twilight in the title anyway. Does someone need to make a 99 pink balloons song? Maybe...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9whehyybLqU I don't pay much attention to dates, so I had to look up the dates on these. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsSlNFTjxss Link to comment

flutterscotch Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 80's My little pony commercials evolutionCheck out the animation style! The very first release! With the animation from the cartoons, for the twinkle eyed ponies. The new "My Little Pony Mommy" theme which made me stop wanting ponies as a child. For the Big Brothers. Link to comment

flutterscotch Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Oh no, SGpony2600, you did not just break out the Starship! Today's theme? 80s singles that used "bagpipes" (these were mostly simulated with an ebow, sometimes synths.). ^I will admit this one is super pushing it. Link to comment
flutterscotch Posted July 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 I figured I've done enough music posts in the past few days, so I should add a TV post too.This was Nickelodeon in 1985. I left out a lot of things like Pinwheel and *shudder* today's special. Coming soon? Early 80's MTV station idents! Link to comment

flutterscotch Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 NWOBHMOr the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. The post-Zeppelin/Sabbath influx of harder rock. These are the classics.Starting with my favorite, and a band you would not ordinarily class with the likes of Iron Maiden. Their first album, On Through the Night, though, is a different animal than 1987's Hysteria.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyXqmeTqPwo And of course Iron Maiden:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEwy4KjDPCc LEMMY! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K7CNzFhnCE Link to comment

SGpony2600 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Time for some new wave, fillies and gentlecolts!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGHiTALecuQ Link to comment
brianblackberry Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Wow can we have the Eighties without the high quality video awesomeness known as DIO Of course they never made an actual music video for Rainbow in the Dark, but the song is also just as famous as Holy Diver: Link to comment
Ancre Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hey, I've just realized I've started to listen to music with stuff that went out in the 80's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p89AX41MxPQ This is so strange, I feel like a little kid again when I listen to that. Link to comment
flutterscotch Posted July 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 To build off Brian's post (WITHOUT, notice, poking fun at Diomedes), while Dio was rising, Ozzy was crashing and burning. Now, I love me some Black Sabbath (ESPECIALLY stuff Sabotage and before, when Ozzy was kinda hot and not all weird and bloated looking (seriously, look at the cover of Sabotage, tell me he is not the perfect specimen of androgynous 70's hotness), but I have never been able to get past Ozzy's Dork Age.Here's the Prince of Darkness's lowest 80's moments.As a priest against Rock N' Roll in 1986's Trick or Treat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXko2YCuZa8 You can hate on me for making fun of Bark at the Moon, but SERIOUSLY. Watch this video! The song is fine, it's the video. This should have been our first clue as to what Ozzy would become as a reality TV star. I do find it telling that he looks his scariest EVER while singing a power ballad. buy another can of hairspray, Ozzy. Maybe some more eyeliner. Link to comment
