Weekend at home usually means I do some tidying up, getting ready to ship my clothes off to the laundry shop later that week, checking my food stores to see what needs to be bought from the supermarket, and just basically cleaning up the mess from last week.
I had my player on, and I felt like some good ol' 80's this particular weekend. I took it one step further and actually blogged about some of the songs that stuck to my head as I was folding up dirty laundry.
Check out the mix-tape in my head:
1.
Jude Cole - "Baby It's Tonight".
Hey, did you know this guy manages Lifehouse right from the very start? Yup, "Hanging By A Moment" and "You and Me" Lifehouse. Fancy that.2.
38 Special - "Back Where You Belong". Some great southern rock n'roll!
3.
Journey - "I'll Be Alright Without You". I think American Idol judge Randy Jackson already joined Journey by the time this single came out.
4.
Christine McVie - "Got A Hold On Me".
Love her as a solo artist as well as one of the creative forces behind Fleetwood Mac.5.
Lou Gramm - "Just Between You and Me".
He's the dude who did lead vocals for Foreigner. This one's a lovely song- go check it out.6.
The Police - "Don't Stand So Close To Me '86".
I just seem to like this version better than the 1980's version.7.
Neneh Cherry - "Buffalo Stance".
We lookin' good today... lookin' good in every way!
8.
Cameo - "Word Up!".
It’s the code word- no matter where you say it, you’ll know that you’ll be heard!9.
Andy Taylor - "Take It Easy".
Remind me to blog about his other solo project, "When The Rain Comes Down".10.
Pebbles - "Mercedes Boy".
Do you wanna ride?11.
Icehouse - "Electric Blue".
Co-written by John Oates of Hall and Oates, did you know that? And it's all over you- electric blue!12.
Boy Meets Girl - "Bring Down The Moon".
For me, better than "Waiting For A Star To Fall". Always was a big fan of Sharon Rubicam.13.
The Romantics - "One In A Million".
Baby, you're the one! One in a million- second to none!14.
The J. Geils Band- "Love Stinks".
Yeah, yeah!
15.
Jody Watley - "Most Of All".
You turned your back on me, when I needed you most of all.
Check out my entries on each one by clicking on the links, or by visiting my other blog,
"My Thoughts In Stereo", on Blogspot. It's got lyrics, videos from YouTube, chords and tabs (sometimes), and trivia on those songs (at least stuff I could remember, anyway).
Cheers everyone!
