Hi Vee. New here? Welcome.

I do have a list of songs I want from the 80's. There are about 890 songs on it. I'm trying to find every Hot 100 song of te 80's from the US charts. Considering I already have over 4,000 of them 890 isn't that much. I wouldnt mind having all the British hits either. I'm sick that way.

I second DJ's welcome, Vee.

I have a list of songs missing from my collection:

"Don't Talk To Me About Love" by Altered Images
"Don't Put Another Dime In the Jukebox" by The Flirts
"Fade to Gray" by Visage
"Great Southern Land" by Icehouse
"Mind Over Matter" by E.G. Daley
"Invisible" by Alison Moyet
"Respectable" by Mel & Kim
and the list goes on and on and on...

Just to help you along with your search. Here are some of the unknown artists.
Pop muzik-M
Pass the dutchie-Musical Youth
Can't help falling in love (if it's the Elvis remake) was Corey Hart in the 80's and UB40 in the early 90's
Echo beach-Martha and the Muffins
Not sure on the other one but I hope this helps

Martha and the Muffins -thanks djdaffy <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
I need to get their cd. i'd prob like the rest of it, too.
oh, I know the UB40 song you're referring to. It's not that one, though. I just remembered who sings the other one. "Pushing the tin" I think. i'll have to check where Bogie referred to it.lol. thanks though.
musical youth. they're great.
Oh, have to add on one more I've always wanted:
"What have I done to deserve this?" Pet shop boys and (my memory is just mush now<img src="smile.gif" border="0">haha

They called themselves Lick the Tin Vilji.

I have no idea who was in the band or what else they have recorded. Their version of I Can't Help Falling in Love is on the soundtrack for Some Kind of Wonderful and also on the soundtrack for The Snapper.

If anyone knows who they are or where they went I would appreciate an update. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

me too! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

"Pushing tin" was a Cusack movie or something, right?

(i'll get it right one of these days)

thanks, Bogie

Indeed John Cusack was in Pushing Tin....god he is lovely

"Living In A Box" is by... Living In A Box!!!!
I always thought it was conceited to mention your own band's name in a song!!!

lol. you're kidding?!
that would be just like me ..not to know the name of the band when it's song title..

and yeah..totally conceited!

I thought of some more missing:
private eyes - hall and oats.
iko iko - by ..someone, no idea who.
say say say - micheal jackson and paul mcartney

Wasn't that Amazulu? I'd forgotten about that one. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Amazulu may have done that but the version made popular here in the States was by the Belle Stars from the movie "Rain man"

Cyndi Lauper did one, too. I still like the Belle Stars version best myself!

It was originally done in the 60's by the Dixie Cups, the same ladies who did "Chaple of love"

MDC,
The Device song you're missing is "Hanging on a Heart Attack".

I have nearly all of the songs mentioned in this forum. I had forgot about most of them. Thanks for reminding me! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

-Flix

it was done by more than one group?
whoa.
thanks peoples.
I think belle stars is the one I'm thinking of..Rain man version..

I loved all of those!!

I was just thinking of a band that I got hooked on when I went away to Kent. They were called Book of Love. I think someone stole the tape I had, b/c now I cannot find it. Does anyone remember this band, and if so, help! I want to find a copy of this again! My fave song on it was this girl talking about how she didn't need a man, b/c she could take care of herself. (Underlying meaning there.)

[QUOTE]They were called Book of Love[QUOTE]

Hi DancingDoll.

I do remember Book Of Love their most popular Cd is simply titled " Book OF Love from 85/86.
With some of their most popular songs including:
You Make Me Feel So Good
I Touch Roses
Boy
& Modigliani

This CD is pretty common and you should be able to pick it up at any or most music stores.
Hoped this helped.

Later..

I loved Book of Love, too, Gretchen! My fave song from them was the aforementioned "I Touched Roses" but they had another song that was kewl, but I can't remember the name of it!!!

That's the one!!!!

I think "Boy" is the song that I am thinking of. I played that tape constantly...my roommate was ready to chuck it out the window...too bad we were on the first floor!!

I am heading out to the record store tomorrow!!! Yay for me!!!

That would be "Pretty Boys And Pretty Girls" MDC. I like all the aforementioned songs. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I need a Thompson Twins greatest hits and a Pet Shop Boys greatest hits. I recently bought a Howard Jones CD so I could satisfy my urges to weep along with "No one is to blame."

Oddly, I would also like...

"I wanna be a cowboy" - (band?)
"Walk the Dinosaur" - Was (Not Was)
"Somewhere Out There" - preferably the movie version with the mice singing, from An American Tail

And all of Weird Al's polka mixes. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I wanna be a cowboy was by Boys don't Cry. It's available on one of the Living in Oblivion seies.

Thank you! Now I'll have to check that series out, after all the rave reviews.

I have the Thompson Twins and Pet Shop Boys greatest hits on CD, and they are da bomb! I really need to add Ho Jo's greatest hits to my collection, too. He had some awesome songs back in the day!!!
