80s songs you remember but hardly anyone else does?

Can you imagine this track being released now the Mumsnet lot heads would explode

I was clearing through a box of papers last night (honest) when I found one where I'd cribbed down tracks from my Time Life Music 80s CDs, so here's a few more:

Only Crying - Keith Marshall
Living on Video - Trans X
Big in Japan - Alphaville
Solid - Ashford & Simpson
Obsession - Animotion
Live is Life - Opus
What's the Colour of Money? - Hollywood Beyond
Captain of Her Heart - Double
Bridge to Your Heart - Wax
Requiem - London Boys

Opus - Live is Life, I had that on a free cassette tape from saving up tokens on Weetabix boxes. Amazingly I found a photo of it, this is the 2 songs on the other side

"Not for resale" Priceless, presumably...

Ah, the happy days when Weetabix had good advertising...

Love Opus life is life reminds me of germany and getting shit faced at beer festival where my gran lives was never that drunk i wore lederhosen though


Haha Reminded me of this Opus and Falco doing Rock me Amadeus

Now THIS was a Top Trax.


Slightly off topic but couldn't be bothered creating a thread "Records obtainable in the 80s via breakfast cereal promotions (UK)".

How about Star Trekking by The Firm or Joe le Taxi by Vanessa Paradis

ah Joe la taxi remmeber her on the roxy which was the itv tried as the rival to TOTP that fell on its ear after 2 seasons if i rememeber

always remembered this because she was hot 15 and had her nips poking out of her top and that to the 14 year old me was hot




Who rememebers Sabrina Boys Boys Boys

Talking of Europop from around that time
Spagna - Call me blimey 30 years old this year

Tanita Tikaram - Twist in my Sobriety (1988)
