Worst 80's song to have stuck in your head

[behindthebook]

So my friends got this 80's Karaoke thing. . . Now I've got all these awesomely bad 80's songs stuck in my head. Which ones the worst?

[MikeMcKinney]

Come on Eileen, man when you hear that song it takes forever to get it outta there.

[Chris Ingersoll]

List fails for lack of "Micky" by Toni Basil.

Oh thanks a lot Mike for getting that damn song stuck back in my head! (lol)

Gotta go with Tainted Love.

..."I've got to.. (bump - bump) get away..."

"Hey Mickie! Oh Mickie you're so fine..." AH! Noooooooooooooooo!

Or Joan Jett's "I Love Rock'n'Roll"! Blahhhhh! Never could stand Joan Jett!

Jefferson Starship RULED though!

i chose eileen as well. nothing wrong with the gambler.

Trust me, if Mickey had been a part of this particular 80's Karaoke mix, there would be no need for the poll.

Neat, post 500.

[rawhide]

so you left it out on purpose ?

We Built This City

[Werner Mueck]

I w ent for "We Built This City" as well. I actually like "Come on Eileen" and I grew up on "The Gambler" (though I like Coward of the County, Luicille, and Rueben James better).

[Trent Lawless]

I realize Erasure is regarded as a band for men of certain proclivities.

That said, I ain't ashamed to say I like 'em.

"Uptown Girl" for me. I'm not a Billy Joel fan in the first place, but that song's particularly noxious to me.

[WTIC]

Another one that should be on the list is "Who Can It Be Now" by Men at Work! OMG, what an aweful song.

[Werner Mueck]

I like "Who Can it Be Now" and more than a few other Men at Work songs. I was going to try and come up with some songs from the eighties I hate but I really don't want them floating around in my head right now. I'm only hoping "Who Can it Be Now" is dancing around in WTIC's head..... Dancing just like Men at Work dance around in the "Down Under" video. Just like that

One that gets in my head and I can't get rid of is Men w/o Hat's "Saftey Dance". I also get A-Ha's "Take On Me" stuck in there but I love that song and video. Same goes for Wang Chung.

[WTIC]

Thanks, Werner.

Safety Dance, however, is better as the Weird Al version, the Brady Bunch!

A while back (10 years?) I read someplace that Billy Joel refused to ever sing uptown girl again. I dont remember the reason but it might have had something to do with his ex wife being in the video

. I don't have a problem with any of these songs at all .

Not only is she in the video, I believe the song is about him and her. Well, I'm not crying about its loss from the stage.

Safety Dance is awesome! The album that's from is still one of my favorites from the 80s, and I consider myself something of a connoisseur of 80s music.

Here's another of my favorites from any time period, and all I'll have to say is one word to get it in your head:

"SCIENCE!"

as in weird science ?
