Worst 80's Song Ever!!

[trekds947]

Why isn't Tiffany's monstrosity of "I Think We're Alone Now" on the list? Anyone who's still in diapers should not be allowed to record music. Aside from the fact that she wasn't even born when Tommy James and The Shondells ORIGINAL version came out, she's got no idea what she's singing! God forbid her version shows up as a Certs jingle.

VCO:
Voltage Controlled Oscillator. An oscillating circuit controlled by an alternating analog voltage. This creates the sound in the synthesizer using basic waveform shapes like sine, sawtooth, square, triangle and PWM. Tuning can be unstable, synths can overheat and are often very heavy.

Playing and programming synth sounds has been a hobby since I was 12.
Most NW bands used synths that had vco's.

Both of those songs were written by Jim Steinman, also of Meatloaf fame. Just in case you want to know the source of your misery.

I'm voting for "Mickey". I sing the song as "Oh Mikki you're so dumb, you blew my thumb. Hey Mikki".

Charlene's "Never Been to Me" should've been on the list. It would've gotten my vote.

With nods to "She's Like The Wind", "Party All The Time" and "I Can Dream About You" let me add:

Tarzan Boy- Baltimora

Never Surrender- Corey Hart[/b]
(even worse than Sunglasses At Night)[b]

Ebony And Ivory- Stevie Wonder & Paul McCartney

The Girl Is Mine- Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson[/b]
"the doggone girl is mine"...[b]

State Of Shock- Michael Jackson & Mick Jagger

Dancing In The Street- Mick Jagger & David Bowie[/b]
(bonus points for an embarrassingly bad accompanying video)[b]

Dancing On The Ceiling- Lionel Ritchie[/b]
"ooh what a feeling, when we're dancing on the ceiling"...[b]

Suddenly- Billy Ocean

Crush On You- The Jets

Anything by Samantha Fox, Jemaine Jackson or Bruce Willis (Bruno)[/b]


Now that I'm all pissed off, here's a note to Kola:

Try using your friggin RETURN bar once in a while to space out your paragraphs- you're giving us all a headache trying to read your posts!

Well, it's not because a certain song is overplayed in a specific area, may be because a DJ likes it, that it is a bad song!

Edie Brickell "What I Am" is a very cute and refreshing song, it was played on local NW radios and I even bought a spare CD. [:)]

You should try Bonnie's version of Making Love Out Of Nothing At All on for size. - HEY! YOU GOT PEANUT BUTTER ON MY CHOCOLATE![:o)]

Why did no one mention Glass Tiger's Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone? Talk about a heat seeking turd on fire.

The poll - pretty nasty stuff. I voted Escape Club but I have to say, for myself, that it was a tie between that & Bobby McFerrin. How many people here remember when DRE added both of those songs to their playlist?[xx(][V] OH THE HUMSANITY!

Opus-Life Is Life
