Time (Clock of the Heart)

I had a profound crush on Mikey Craig, bassist for Culture Club, back in the day. I heard this on one of the easy listening stations yesterday. Said to myself what perfect song for Flashback Friday.

I wonder whatever happened to other members of CC? Boy George was in and out of rehab for the longest time, but after the band broke up, you never heard anything else about Roy, Mikey, or Jon.

Hmm. Was that the thing in the 80s? Like Wham's Andrew Ridgeley or Curt Smith from Tears for Fears, they just dropped off the face of the Earth. Perhaps life just returned to normalcy. One can only hope....

Eurythmics - I Need A Man (Remastered)

Annie, Annie, Annie.... Who doesn't? LOL.

Sybil Don't Make Me Over

Art Of Noise: Beat Box

Wow. I'd completely forgotten about Art of Noise. Found this while surfing across the Blogosphere.

OK, so I probably say this with every Friday Flashback tune I post, but this song really does take me back! I was in Junior High School in '83 when this came out. So young, so naive. LOL. Well I'm not so young anymore, but still a tad naive.

The riff in this is catching and I like the vibe. I might just need to add this to my iPod.

Lisa Fischer - How Can I Ease The Pain - Music Video (1991)

This song was the shit.

Erasure A Little Respect (Official Video)

 A Little Respect. Isn't that what any of us ever want? A Friday Night Flashback to one my favorite songs from the 80s/90s! Erasure's  Just A Little Respect.

Man this song takes me back to some good college memories. This is at the top of my list of songs to jam out to while driving long distance, speakers cranked, car dancing included. I'm sure I look a hot mess, but I just don't give a fcuk! LOL

Madonna - True Blue

Not one of Madonna's most favored songs, True Blue takes me back to high school and reminds me of several crushes. Why does 1986 seem like a life time ago, eh?

Blessid Union O' Souls

I Believe.

This song takes me back. I might it might be kinda cheesy but today's Millennial standards, but as I've often said I really have no use for the 21st century. We've become too depersonalized. No. This song evokes something to the core of humanity. Yes, it's a simple. "Love is the answer. Love will find a way." Don't they say love conquers all? Love is difficult to find, hard to often to keep, but so worth the venture.

Yes. Love is the answer. Just keep trying....

The Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm

Colour of the wind - Vanessa williams

Vanessa could sing the alphabet and it would be the most stunning rendition ever. I love her!

Shania Twain - From This Moment On

I know this song is old. Yeah. And soooooooo "something." Aw, who cares? It's probably the only song I like by Shania, but I think the video has a power and majesty all its own. A whole heap of pomp and circumstance wrapped up into a four minute music crescendo.Music videos may be passe for the current generation, but every now and again you need a reminder of the good ole days. Heh.

My Grown Up Christmas List

Lady GaGa - Poker Face

I'm not a huge fan of Lady Gaga. What can I say? She weirds me out and I'm in my 40's , but this song appeals to me. A good song to jam out to when I'm car dancing on long trips. LOL.

Spice Girls - Spice Up Your Life

Matchbox Twenty - Push (Video)

Yeah, it's been a minute, but more on that later. I heard this on Sirius today and wanted to share. I love this song!

La Bouche - Sweet Dreams

Hmm...

(96) Amber- This is your night/NEW 2008 Version OUT 02/12/08

A throwback but I still love this song. And it's a three day weekend too? Yes!!!

Lisa Stansfield - This Is The Right Time

...to Believe in LOOOOOOVE! So true. Claim it.

National Dingaling Day

National Dingaling Day? Um....OK. Yeah. I'ma leave this alone! Heheh. It's a real Holiday though. Google or Wiki it. Anyhoo. In commemoration of the day, what better than Chuck Berry's classic.

Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You

Ok, so this is kinda a holiday tradition for me. My holiday season doesn't start until I start listening about Mariah seducing Santa ovah and ovah. I feel festive now....sorta! I finally, begrudgingly put up my decor today. Hm. I still feel Grinchy, maybe I just need some more "spirits" to cheer me up. I'm trying to work up for the Holidays but I'm not feeling it....
