21. Obsession - Animotion, 1985

 

I heard this in Adventureland, and I gotta admit I'm really feeling it. This song paired with the video hits so many 80's cliches that it nearly borders on self-parody. Do you have any stories about dancing to this song at the disco while coked out of your mind, Mark?

 

22. Rock Me Amadeus- Falco, 1985

23. Bastards of Young - The Replacements, 1985

24. Your Love - Outfield, 1985

 

25. Live To Tell - Madonna, 1986

Prolly one of my favorite songs by Madonna. I would have used this for the scene in Man Motion where Brad and Bitty talk about who the father of JJ is, but that scene was set in '85 instead of '86 so I couldn't. Damnit. LOL. I've run into that problem so many times.

26. I Want To Know What Love Is by Foreigner, 1985

 

I am now kicking myself for not using this when I was doing music recs for Man In Motion. This song seemed like it was everywhere in 1985! It was used on Miami Vice, on One Life to Live, on Quantum Leap for a scene set in 1985, etc etc.

It was everywhere in 1985. So much that I still have a hard time listening to it.

Hah. Nice. I feel the same way about 2002 and "Follow Me" by Uncle Kracker. *shudders*

 

I like the song a lot. I should have used it somewhere in Man In Motion, but it never really came up. Back when I was doing the recs for your '09 stories, I was pretty strict about not repeating songs, which means I'd hold off on using songs in case a better moment arrived. Man In Motion did wind up being on the shorter side for your stories...I'm kinda tempted to do a "MiM Remix" thread. I really did enjoy doing the music for this.

 

Now let's continue.

28. Wishing (I Had A Photography of You) by Flock Of Seagulls, 1982

30. Cruel Summer by Bananarama, 1984

 

"Let's Hear It for the Boy" is sooooo Robbie circa Man In Motion.
