subject: 80s Songs You Will Dance Crazy To [print this page] There's something about 80s songs that still makes people crave for them today. Perhaps it's just nostalgia or perhaps it's because today's music doesn't quite match up. Whatever it is, there's little doubt that we need our daily dose of 80s music.
Perhaps, in the morning, you want someone to wake you up before you go-go, so that you can dance like a maniac to the classic Wham song. You may even have a T-shirt with the words Choose Life written on it. Who can ever forget that song, let alone, the iconic video that represents all those crazy yet happy times in the 80s?
If you're a girl and had lived in the 80s, all you wanted to do was have fun. All girls just wanna have fun, right? Cyndi Lauper was able to capitalize on the success of that song to have a successful career and became an 80s icon in the process. When the DJ puts this song on, the girls are guaranteed to have heaps of fun.
On the other hand, the guys in the nightclub must be careful of those maneaters that lurk around. Yes, there are maneaters everywhere and Hall and Oates were right to sing about it in this classic 80s song. The fact that the song made it to number 1 in numerous countries justified their decision. What an appropriate song to put in a nightclub!
There are few who would disagree that life today is busier than in the 80s. Many would agree that we are in need of a holiday more than ever before. Madonna made us crave one in the 80s and the song still does the same thing today, albeit to a greater extent. It wouldn't be a surprise to find people preferring a holiday back to the 80s rather than to another place on Earth.
Genuine music legends are extremely rare these days, but a lot of 80s songs were made by these legends. By simply telling us repeatedly that Billie Jean was not his lover, he cemented his spot as musical legend in the 80s. Michael Jackson eventually convinced us of that through a singing voice and dancing ability that so far remains unmatched. Its a crying shame that he is no longer with us today.
The best thing about 80s songs is that we have a medium through which we can feel the vibes, happiness and passion of such a much loved and missed musical era.
