Forgotten 80s Music

[Aeolienne]

Back then there was so much pro-European sentiment that some French-language songs actually featured in the UK pop charts. How long ago that seems...

Jimmy Somerville & June Miles-Kingston, Comment de dire adieu

Vanessa Paradis, Joe le taxi

Desireless, Voyage voyage

According to the DVLA the car featured in this video had a new logbook issued on the 1st of March this year. Given the state of it in this video and the story of it needing extensive welding before being destroyed in a banger race I think someone might be messing around.

Falco

The song I like the most by him is Out of the Dark, although that technically came out in the 90s (and was released posthumously).

Alice & Franco Battiato, I treni di Tozeur (The Trains of Tozeur)

 

[Slim Jim]

A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away)

Okay...maybe it's not so forgotten.

Adventures of Stevie V, Dirty Cash (Money Talks)

 

[Slim Jim]

Sexsie Siouxsie Sioux - Spell Bound

Robert Howard (aka Dr Robert from the Blow Monkeys) & Kym Mazelle, Wait

Shock by The Motels is a great album across the board.

I don't think this terrific song even charted.

Jody Watley - Looking For A New Love

Jody got it going on.

One of the least forgotten number ones of the 1980s, but how many of you have heard the original version?

Some bass sound, this. Wow!

Awful, funny and an ear worm all at the same time.

Whatever happened to this guy...? Michael something..wanted people to leave him alone...just a normal guy who wanted to cuddle his monkey in his oxygen chamber, while he studies the elephant mans bones at his theme park house while getting high on jesus juice. Totally normal guy. Totally forgotten now of course.

Spoiler

INXS & Jimmy Barnes....I like that...I watched a Australian concert they played together, back in 87.
