		Some if it is great, some of it is awful. The good thing about not living in the eighties anymore is that twenty years has filtered out everything but the real classics.

		You know what else was boss in the 80's? A-team, and Family Ties.

It's not just me that loves The Beat now, Special Beat Service is my fave Beat album. I love 80's music, The Specials, Selector, Bad Manners, Sex Pistols (70's too there), Nik Kershaw, Howard Jones, The Cure, Duran Duran, Men at Work, Ultravox, Yello... As Myname said, the social climate here in the UK wasn't particularly pleasant thanks to that witch Thatcher, but at least the music was cool. Music these days makes me want to vomit in the most part, just switch on MTV2 at any time and see the constant stream of Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, Blink 182 and all their sad clones, then go outside and see all the 12 year old kids with skateboards and Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, Blink 182 and all their sad clones' T-Shirts. The bandwagon sheep culture of today makes me sad And I'll not even get started on chart pop...

Then I realized that there are droves of mindless MTV retards above what I feel is the cut-off age for pop's core audience (20 or thereabouts). So, I'll say this instead: in absense of creativity, there is sexuality.

		I like a lot! I grew up with this Duran Duran, Transvisionvamp, Bily Idol, Ultravox, Cure, Oingo Boingo, Men at Work, B-52's... and some others I don't remember.

		I still laugh at the Men Without Hats - "Safety Dance" music video. Trying to set it in medievil times is one thing. Having some small continuity errors is another but having an electricity pylon in the middle of the shot is unforgiving funny I also like watching norman cook aka fatboy slim performing as a member of the housemartins, classic music videos to download:- MWH - Safety dance The Housemartins - Happy Hour

		segasonic	Sep 13, 2002
		'Oh what a good place to be Don't believe it Cos they speak a different language And it never really happened to me' Hey, I've got the 7" of Safety Dance! Great song, but what on earth is it about???

		Gallstaff	Sep 13, 2002
		i always assumed it was about safe sex MM listening to sunglasses at night right now. Good song on a rainy day for some reason.

		Nadius	Sep 13, 2002
		haha, that's a good song to go out on a friday night, pull up next to someone who would want to race, play, put on glasses and stare them down. That Corey Hart, hehe. It's hysterical... I've just reminded myself of "Better Off Dead", haha

		Nadius	Sep 13, 2002
		I am utterly bored.

		Gallstaff	Sep 13, 2002
		Dude that IS a sock... but why?

		Nadius	Sep 13, 2002

According to some crappy program, they saw a medievil painting of people dancing with their hands in an S shape and made up the rest. If you watch the video they all dance with their hands in an S shape, 'specially near the end
