Cheesy songs of the 80's cd
 

I'm putting together of compilation of the cheesiest and (somewhat) popular songs of the 80's.

My first three suggestions are Mr. Roboto, I Think I'm Turning Japanese, and Baby Got Back.

"Like a Virgin" always made me want to blow chunks.

why limit yourself to the 80s. there have been thousands of cheesy-assed hits since the dawn of recorded music.

what about Culture Club? :hmm:

Here in my car I feel safest of all.....
*shudder*

Our Love's in Jeopardy,

BAAby!

OOOOOOOO!

wasn't Baby Got Back in the early 90s?

Taco - Puttin' On the Ritz

Take on Me - Aha

oooohhh yeaahhh...

oh.. Rico Suave (I'm not sure of the artist, it should be easy to find).

Rico Suave was also the name of the guy who did that song.

If ya want cheesy, ya gotta have Maneater by Hall and Oates on there.

Rico Suave was by Gerardo, and it wasn't in the 80s. It was close, though: 1991

"Rico Suave was by Gerardo, and it wasn't in the 80s. It was close, though: 1991"

I actually went to high school with that guy. I didn't know him though. He was a senior and I was a sophomore. Seemed like kind of a prick. He was also in the movie "Can't Buy Me Love".

Dear Lord why do I know so much about Gerardo? I'm going to crawl under a rock now.

Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners
Walk Like An Egyptian - Bangles
Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

Safety Dance - Men Without Hats

Without a doubt.

that's probably the worst song ever made in the history of man :)

good choice :)

Yeesh...I love all those songs (except Rico Suave..*shudders*) "`Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, well they're no friends of mine..."

Some more suggestions (and I like all these, too...heh...)

"Don't Forget me when i'm gone" - Glass Tiger

I nominate:

Thanks man, I knew I'd get that wrong.

Jesse's Girl - Rick Springfield
With Open Arms - Journey

Eye In The Sky - Alan Parsons Project
Africa - Toto (What the heck was that all about?)

more to come when I think of them...

Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran

I can't believe this song wasn't the first mentioned

As a child of the 80's I have many fond memories of some of the songs that are being mentioned.

I can't believe some of them are on your list. But, I guess I see them from a different perspective.

From someone who went to high school during that era, let me add some you may not have thought of:

Love Plus One - Haircut 100
Red Red Wine - UB40 (a Neil Diamond remake)
Kokomo - The Beach Boys
Pretty much everything Ozzy did after Blizzard of Oz (R.I.P. Randy Rhodes)
Kiss Me Deadly - Lita Ford
Close My Eyes Forever - Lita and Ozzy
Everything Poison did
The start of the "Boy Bands" New Kids, Color Me Badd, Menudo, New Edition, Boyz II Men, etc...


The worst of thre 80's was probably Timbuk 3's "The Future's So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades)", Escape Club's "Wild Wild West" and Corey Hart's "Sunglasses at Night"
