Big hair and shoulder pads..................no cheating.

The radio station I play in the office at work revisits alot of the 80's songs like the ones on the video. In the 80's I was a stay at home mom and had my youngest child in 87. Very "un-hip". :wah:

I got one!!! I knew the Pink Floyd track!

TWO!!! The Pet Shop Boys I recognized as well!

THREEEE! I'd seen Mad Max though I really have no excuse to offer m'lud and I'd like a dozen other offences taken into consideration.

God what a totally gay decade.

Sorry, the eighties were past my time and there were four tracks I did not recognise - Bobby Brown, George Micheal, Wham and Eighth Wonder.

Damn me if I wasn't singing along to all of the others though

Eighth Wonder's lead singer was the lovely 'Patsy Kensit' who went on to become a fairly good actress. Her best was actually a duet she did with Dvid Bowie called Absolute Beginners' the title track of the film. She started her career as a child in the 'Birds Eye' pea advert. She married 'Jim kerr' of the 80's band 'Simple Minds' who i saw live in Milton Keynes and named my cat Jimmy after.

Jim Kerr's best single was 'Don't you forget about me'. After he divorced Patsy Kensit he later went on to marry 'Chrissie Hynde' of 'The Pretenders' who's greatest hit was 'Brass in Pocket'. Chrissie hynde then went on to record a cover version of Sonny and Cher's 'I got you Babe' with UB40 who's greatest hit was a cover version of 'Niel Diamond's 'Red Red Wine'.

Anything else?
