How is one nostalgic for a time period one never really lived through? I don’t know. It’s perplexing. I didn’t really participate in the ’80s. I spend most of the decade with my head in a Dungeons & Dragons manual, listening to heavy metal or trying to memorize overly complicated Pee-Wee football plays. Pop music? I don’t think even I had a radio u...
“Eye of The Tiger”, Stranger — Rocky III
What’s a list of ’80s movie themes without this song? This is probably the best song from an ’80s movie but, like those teen romance songs, it’s played out for me. I don’t want to hear it anymore. Also, this seems to be is the personal motivational soundtrack for every Oxy-addicted chick who just went into recovery and is just now starting to work out for the first time. You can’t blame them. It’s probably one of the most catchy songs on the list. You really do want to do push-ups to exhausti...
“Nothing’s Going To Stop Us Now”, Starship — Mannequin
In the 1980s they had movies where people switched bodies, adults became kids and mannequins came to life. For real. And those mannequins were played by 29-year-old Kim Cattralls who the producers decide should look like 40-year-old, box-wine aunts. Do you know what’s more inexplicable than a mannequin coming to life? Why they didn’t get a teenager to play the damn mannequin! I mean, this is make-believe, right? Make us believe, guys! I will say one thing about the girls from the ’80s: there...
“Self Control”, Laura Ann Brannigan — Miami Vice
Let’s be serious here: if I allowed in TV shows, this whole list could have been songs that appeared on Miami Vice. Miami Vice was that good. It is the ’80sthat we are programmed to remember. And “rolling dirty after dark” was a giant theme of that decade. How about this one, which is also from Miami Vice? Same exact theme. It’s night. It’s a city. You’re low-down and greasy, doing scandalous, R-rated stuff. It’s all classic ’80s drug and sex material. Damn, I could do Miami Vicesongs until t...
Most of these songs are positive and upbeat because that is the 80s as we want to remember them. And that’s what “Glory of Love” is: a simple song about why a simple Italian-American boy from Los Angeles would fight for the love and honor of a simple foreign maiden in a simple foreign land. Which brings me to a simple question: why did he sell out ...
Two songs, two glories. Remember, the ’80s is about style and style is about symmetry. OK, so it’s not the 1980s. Sue me in The Hague. It’s still pure ’80s. Listen to those faux hillbilly guitar licks. I would have picked “Dead or Alive” because it’s a better song, but I wasn’t sure if it was performed exclusively for the soundtrack or not. After d...
Neither of these is a very rocking song. In fact, they are both pretty much filled with ennui and longing. But they are still good and they are still very 80s. Which one of us doesn’t remember that day in the early ’80s when we first became a man? Remember, the day we first understood that the pathway to putaka would forever dominate our destiny? T...
Was rap music allowed in movies in the 1980s? At least allowed in movies that weren’t explicit about rap music or breakdancing or some similar street shit? This is the only one I remember and it’s a good one.
“No Easy Way Out” is another Rocky song with a great chorus that demands you start to take your life seriously, quit your job and become a whitewater guide on the Colorado. Like a YouTube commenter says: Prove it and oar up, pussy. That river ain’t gonna tame itself.
In my thirties,Scarface was in tight competition with Collateralfor the soundtrack to almost every Friday night. I could have picked any song from this album. Either Debbie Harry’s “Rush, Rush” or Marie Conchita Alonso’s “Vamos a Bailar” would feel right on a top 15 soundtrack mix from the 1980s. Oh, you didn’t know MCA was also a pop singer?
OK, so I broke my rules again. These songs are so similar that they just count as one entry. But one is really different than the other.
Oops. I cheated again. There are no rules, maaaaaaaaaaaaan! This is kind of a personal pick for me because in my memory this was a time when GNR had basically disappeared for 3 years after 1988’s Lies EP. You remember that one, don’t you? Of course, you do, it’s one of your favorites. It’s the one where Axl drops both of the baddest of the bad word...
