It's national aerobic championship theme by ty parr






The amount of great musics and movies from the 80's and 90's is marvelous ,cant get enough of it (even if the 2000's have been good too ,it's not on the same level)

I love me some 80s music, especially the hair metal bands, which shaped my musical tastes in my formative years. But with all that said, THIS is the most 80s song EVER...with synths, drum machines, distorted guitar accents, and shading the future of rap music about to become popular:

Can’t believe this thread is eight pages in and no one has mentioned this one…

It was mentioned. Someone quoted a post I made on a similar tread some time ago on the first page.

 

[Hoodoo]

How did I forget this one?

It was the time I discovered the comfort of skirts and the possibilities of contour and color on my eyes and cheekbones

Clearly it's "We Are the Champions" which is, you know, a '70s song.

Not ashamed to admit that I wore eyeliner in the 80s. GREAT way to meet girls, and never had to do it myself.

Beautiful Girl: "LOVE your hair....can I do your eyes?"
Me: "Uh....okay"
(girl whips out eyeliner pen and tells me "Hold still", as she sketches around my eyeballs, then studies her pen strokes...)
Girl: "There....now you're beautiful!"
Me: "Thank you.....would you like to go out sometime?"

It was my "go to" move. It was my ONLY move! But it actually worked most of the time...

No hair metal?

I wondered back in the day whether I would still like metal when I became older versus being forced to listen to only Montovani. Now that I've reached a "certain age", I can confirm I still like to head bang, thank God.
