Pete Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 You have to love the video! I do not know what I mind more entertaining- the random leg shot or the overzealousness of the backup singer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOTONE Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I was born in 1980, so I am going to say Ice Ice Baby. Never has one man gotten so much attention off of 1 song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 You have to love the video! I do not know what I mind more entertaining- the random leg shot or the overzealousness of the backup singer 80s videos are great. They have a certain rustic charm. Not a lot of money put in to them and most looked like they were rushed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geggytah Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Flagpole Sitta and C'Mon Eileen were pretty good. check out harvey danger's album that came out about 2ish years ago...actually the entire album is quite enjoyable (and i had only heard flagpole sitta prior to hearing the album so i am not a "true fan," i simply like it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 80s videos are great. They have a certain rustic charm. Not a lot of money put in to them and most looked like they were rushed out.

Steely Dan Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 My favorite one hit... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ET8zhjeYMs...feature=related Great song, Norman Greenbaum is a dentist now. Head East's "Never Been Any Reason" from the album "Flat as a Pancake". Any decent bar cover band has got to have this in their song lists Great song! You forgot their other hit! One of my personal favorites... "Brother Louie" by Stories I used to take guitar lessons from the lead guitar player (Steve Love) before this song came out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl5mcWf5Qws That is a good song. Thunderclap Newman, Something In The Air great song The Brooklyn Bridge: The Worst Thing That Could Happen Tom Petty does a cover of "Something in the air.". You know you loved it.... No, I don't know that. Might have been a bit quick with that checkmate (although Driver's Seat is awesome) . . . I prefer this one. Power Pop's Greatest Moment My Sharona! How about this one?

Pete Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 Blue Swede or David Essex I agree with this Youtube comment- this song was wayyyyyy ahead of it's time! Just listen to the recording, the textures, the effects, delays and distortion...Really, low Bass Way ahead of its time. Hard to believe that was 1973. That song bumps!

Just listen to the recording, the textures, the effects, delays and distortion...Really, low Bass Way ahead of its time. Hard to believe that was 1973. That song bumps! I don't know if David Essex could count as a one hit wonder, he was a major British act for quite some while. In the UK he had nine top ten singles and several albums and he was successful elsewhere as well. The US market traditionally has been difficult for British bands to make heavy inroads into. One hit wonders are those that have but a single hit anywhere, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Great song, Norman Greenbaum is a dentist now. Boy, that's something I wish I'd never heard...on some level, I'll never hear that song the same way again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
