80's music thread

[Leslie]

on that note,

If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites

When you make love, do you look in the mirror?
Who do you think of?
Does he look like me?
Do you tell lies?
And say that it's forever?
Do you think twice, or just touch and see
Ooh babe
Ooh yeah
When you're alone, do you let go?
Are you wild and willin or is it just for show?
Ooh C'mon

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!

Chorus
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need


When I'm with you, are you somewhere else?
Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself?
When you wake up, will you walk out?
It can't be love if you throw it about
Ooh babe

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
Oh

Chorus
(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need

Oh yeah!

I don't wanna touch you too much baby
'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy
I know you think that love is the way you make it
So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it
No!


(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)

(Love bites, love bleeds)
It's bringin' me to my knees
(Love lives, love dies)
It's no surprise
(Love begs, love pleads)
It's what I need

If you've got love in your sights
Watch out, love bites
Yes it does
Bloody Hell

 

[Professur]

OHMIGAWD!!!! You did not just try to compare Def Lepard with Nazareth. Heathen scum.

 

[Leslie]

[Professur]

Oh, well that's all right then.

Christ I hated ... What did we even call that shit all the girls were creaming their panties over??? New Wave. That was it. New Wave. Gahd, just thinking about it makes my bile rise.

 

[samcurry]

Whiskey gin and brandy
With a glass I'm pretty handy
I'm tryin' to walk a straight line
On sour mash and cheap wine
So join me for a drink boys

Have a drink on me
Yeah have a drink on me

I'm dizzy drunk and fightin
On tequila white lightnin
My glass is getting shorter
On whiskey ice and water
So c'mon have a good time
And get blinded outta your mind

Back in black, I hit the sack,
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back!
Yes, I'm let loose from the noose,
That's kept me hangin' about!
I keep a-lookin' at the sky 'cause it's gettin' me high,
Forget the hearse 'cause I'll never die!
I got nine lives, cat's eyes,
Each and every one of them is wonderin' why!

'Cause I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Back!
Well, I'm back in black!
Yes, I'm back in black!
Ow!

Back in the back, I drive a Cadillac,
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power-pack!
Yes, I'm in a bang with a gang,
They gotta catch me if they want me to hang!
'Cause I'm back on the track and I'm beatin' the flak,
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap!
For look at me now, I'm just a-makin' my pay,
Don't try to push your luck, just get outta my way!

'Cause I'm back! Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Yeah, I'm back!
Well, I'm back! Back!
Well, I'm back in black!
Yes, I'm back in black!

[Professur]

More or less tolerable, Sam. At least I don't feel like projectile vomitting across the turntable.

 

[samcurry]

hehe you get that feeling with GNR and Metallica?

 

[Leslie]

I didn't do the whole top 40 thing much...I flipflopped between metal radio stations and the alternative ones, and heard the top 40 ones at school and at some friend's houses.

I can still do all of the backup to "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" because of a grade 8 lipsynch thingie

 

[samcurry]

what about/

She was a ballerina on a subway train
Stiletto heels and a candy cane
Looked like a number on a station wall
Hot on the tail of a social call

I wet my lips I thought I had it made
Like valentino with a hand grenade
I made my move with my libido on
She circled once and then she dropped the bomb

She got the big guns
Pointed at my heart
Bang bang shooting like a firing squad
Big guns
Blew me away
And I went down in flames

I met a sidewalk preacher on a roller skate
He said he had the key to heavens gate
I said: Ill wait for the movie cause I been there before
And learned: like is a battle and love is war

She got the big guns
Pointed at my heart
Bang bang shooting like a firing squad
Big guns
Took me by surprise
She got my lovin reachin for the sky

She got the big guns
Pointed at my heart
Bang bang shooting like a firing squad
Big guns
Blew me away
And I went down in flames

Im doing time as a back seat romeo
Play solitaire with my hands in the air
Another night and no bullets to spare

She got the big guns
Pointed at my heart
Bang bang shooting like a firing squad
Big guns
Took me by surprise
She got my lovin reachin for the sky

She got the big guns
Pointed at my heart
Bang bang shooting like a firing squad
Big guns
Blew me away
And I went down in flames

Big guns (big guns)
Big guns, blew me away
And I went down in flames

Big guns, big guns
She really, really got the big guns
She shot me down in flames


or

Since i was born they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town

Never played by the rules i never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere

I look and see it's not only me
So many others have stood where i stand
We are the young so raise your hands

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

Boss screamin' in my ear about who i'm supposed to be
Getcha a 3-piece wall street smile and son you'll look just like me

I said "hey man, there's something that you oughta know.
I tell ya park avenue leads to skid row."

I look and see it's not only me
We're standin' tall ain't never a doubt
We are the young, so shout it out

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
We are the youth gone wild


or

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
He had no money, oooh no good at home.
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now its

18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and its
18 and life to go
(repeat above)

Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline.
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.
They say he loved adventure, rickys the wild one.
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.
Bang bang shoot em up, the party never ends.
You cant think of dying when the bottles your best friend
And now its

Chorus

Accidents will happen they all heard ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away.

 

[Leslie]

Now the king told the boogie men
You have to let that raga drop
The oil down the desert way
Has been shakin' to the top
The sheik he drove his Cadillac
He went a-cruisin' down the ville
The muezzin was a' standing
On the radiator grille

CHORUS:
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah
The shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah
Rock the Casbah

By order of the prophet
We ban that boogie sound
Degenerate the faithful
With that crazy Casbah sound
But the Bedouin they brought out
The electric camel drum
The local guitar picker
Got his guitar picking thumb
As soon as the shareef
Had cleared the square
They began to wail

CHORUS

Now over at the temple
Oh! They really pack 'em in
The in crowd say it's cool
To dig this chanting thing
But as the wind changed direction
The temple band took five
The crowd caught a whiff
Of that crazy Casbah jive

CHORUS

The king called up his jet fighters
He said you better earn your pay
Drop your bombs between the minarets
Down the Casbah way

As soon as the shareef was
Chauffeured outta there
The jet pilots tuned to
The cockpit radio blare

As soon as the shareef was
Outta their hair
The jet pilots wailed

CHORUS

He thinks it's not kosher
Fundamentally he can't take it
You know he really hates it

 

[Leslie]

Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I’ll be here ’til the end of time
So you got to let know
Should I stay or should I go?

Always tease tease tease
Siempre – coqueteando y engañando
You’re happy when I’m on my knees
Me arrodillo y estas feliz
One day is fine, next is black
Un dia es bien el otro negro
So if you want me off your back
Alrededor de tu espalda
Well come on and let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I stay or should I go?
¿Me debo ir o quedarme?

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An’ if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know

This indecision’s bugging me
Esta indecision me molesta
If you don’t want me, set me free
Si no me quieres, librame
Exactly who’m I’m supposed to be
Dime que tengo que ser
Don’t you know which clothes even fit me?
¿sabes que ropas me quedan?
Come on and let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I cool it or should I blow?
¿me debo ir o quedarme?

Should I stay or should I go now?
yo me frio o lo sufro
If I go there will be trouble
Si me voy - va a haber peligro
And if I stay it will be double
Si me quedo es doble
So you gotta let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I stay or should I go?
yo me frio o lo sufro

Umm, sam... Enter Sandman was 1991.

How about this:

End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction
Taste me, you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

Taste me, you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Master... master...

Master, master, where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, master, promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughing at my cries

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I knew somebody like you.

No, I don't want to fall in love. (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love. (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you. With you. (This world is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and,

I want to fall in love. (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love. (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you no,

No, I want to fall in love. (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love. (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you. (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you. (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I... (This world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

Nobody loves no one.

There's a backseat lover,
that's always undercover
and I talked till my daddy say,
said "ya ain't seen nothin till your down on a muffin,
and theres sure to be a change in way"
now theres a cheerleader, that's a real big pleaser
as far as I could reminice
and the best thing lovin' was you sister and your cousin
and it started with a little kiss, like this

She start swingin' with the boys in school
and her feet are flyin' up in the air
singin hey diddle diddle with the titty in the middle,
and you swingin like you just dont care
so I took a big chance at the highschool dance
with a lady who was ready to play
it wasn't me she was foolin'
cause she new what she was doin
when she told me how to walk this way, she told me to

walk this way, talk this way
she told me to
walk this way, talk this way
just give me a kiss...like this

school girl sleezy with a classy kinda sassy
little skirt hangin way up her knee
there were three young ladies in a school gym locker
and I find there were lookin at D
I was a highschool loser never made it with a lady
till the boys told me somethin' i miss
then my next door neighbor
had a daughter, had a favour
and I gave the girl a little kiss, like this

she start swingin' with the boys in the school,
with your feet flyin up in the air
singin hey diddle diddle
with the titty in the middle
I was swingin like I didnt care
so I took a big chance at the highschool dance
with the miss who was ready to play
wasn't me she was foolin,
cause she knew what she was doin
when she told me how to walk this way, she told me to

walk this way, talk this way
she told me to
walk this way, talk this way
just give me a kiss...like this

And now, Leslie, I have to bludgeon you to death. Don't go too far, Sam. I want to have a talk with you too.


I can't say I really had a favorite '80s song. I was busy during the '80s .... listening to the '70s.

love hurts, love scars,
love wounds, and marks,
any heart, not tough,
or strong, enough
to take a lot of pain,
take a lot of pain
love is like a cloud
holds a lot of rain
love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts

I'm young, I know,
but even so
I know a thing, or two
I learned, from you
I really learned a lot,
really learned a lot
love is like a flame
it burns you when it's hot
Love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts

some fools think of happiness
blissfulness, togetherness
some fools fool themselves I guess
they're not foolin' me

I know it isn't true,
I know it isn't true
love is just a lie,
made to make YOU BLUE
love hurts, ooh,ooh love hurts
ooh,ooh love hurts

[Guitar solo]

I know it isn't true,
I know it isn't true
love is just a lie,
made to make YOU BLUE
love hurts, ooh ooh love hurts
ooh ooh love hurts
ooh ooh...




Yeah baby.

So prof, how much of Nazereth have you heard? I've got all their albums...excuse me ...CD's. Razamanz? Close Enough for Rock-N-Roll? Both of those are kick ass CD's. Every song is hella good. Hair of the Dog can't even compare. Ever heard "Go Down Fighting"? from one of their early albums? I even seen-um in concert in Nashville with Thin Lizzy

 

[Leslie]

I just bought a cyndi lauper CD. She rocks.

I saw her last year - on stage she's REALLY amazing, backstage she's shockingly SHORT!!!, but really really nice, not snotty at all.
