Cheesy 80's Music

[Biggsy]

SWMBO has requested that I make a playlist of "Cheesy 80's Music" Since I was way too cool for "chart music" back then its a genre know nothingbabout so I need your help.

What is it for?  To enjoy?  Cos many of the suggestions I wouldn't even inflict on Saddam Hussein and Boris Johnson.

Clouds Across The Moon - The Rah Band

[AndyK]

So far I have not seen anything cheesy in this thread. I've seen a lot of people desperately trying to look cool though.

If you want real cheese then take a good look at the contemporary music charts.

Just check out Tarzan Boy by Baltimora on Youtube and choose from the stuff on the side bar.

And the definitive cheesy 80s track is Boys, Boys, Boys. by Sabrina.

Cheese doesn't have to be Tesco Value Mild Cheddar.

Or people could grow the fuck up and accept that different people have different tastes.

I took a look at this.

It combines 60s and 70s cheez in a whole new 80s cheezy package, and only 2mins 22sec.

Oooooooooooh.

Mine's the Lulu Guinness, is this Birkin yours?

[Feline]

The cheesiest I can come up with are

Nothing's Gunna Change my Love for you- Glen madeiros

The One and Only - Chesney Hawkes

[Eccentrica Gallumbits]

Chesney is 90s cheese, not 80s. 

[pcolbeck]

Sabrina - Boys boys boys

The B52's : Love shack
Deee-Lite : Groove is in the heart ( Actually it's 1990)

Cheesy yes, but they keeps the party going...

[Feline]

Chesney is 90s cheese, not 80s. 

Holy shit I had no idea he was that recent! He's definitely cheesy though 

[Eccentrica Gallumbits]

Early 90s.

I can't believe I forgot this:

I actually might still have that somewhere. 

Don't tell bobb. I think it might be a dumpable offence.

Quite a few nominations have been records that were supposed to be funny (or ironic, or ... something). Cheesy isn't really the right word for those. I'll let the reader decide which ones are which ...

Talking of football cheese, there was a classy world-cup song on telly last week. I think it was Bobby Robson's squad, not sure which competition, but probably 80s or 90s. It was about the most cringe-worthy thing I've seen in a while - Terry Butcher looked suicidal (despite having bagged an exercise bike to avoid joining in the synchronised arm-waving).

[Arch]

I think you might all have just compiled the music list for MFWHTBAB's and my wedding reception...

Obsession - Animotion

Even if only for the "Antony and Cleopatra" video.

We seem to have touched a nerve with AndyK; I think he may actually have a large collection of Hit Factory records 

Some of this stuff is actually good music, but that doesn't preclude it being cheesy.

Well, it did get into the charts so you can't be the only one.

There's nothing wrong with SAW as such, they did some fine pastiches.
