| I wanted to put together a playlist that had | | | | their first dance hits compared to what they |
| a great collection of the hi-energy dance | | | | were before, Joy Divisiion, the dark and |
| tunes from the 80's so I came up with this | | | | gothic/atmospheric sounding band. This tune |
| mix.I figured I'd start with one of my | | | | has the break dancing vibe and sound to it |
| favorite tunes from the late 80's the | | | | and I still remember the video included |
| freestyle/hi-energy dance tune Fascinated by | | | | scenes with break dancers on the streets and |
| Company B. I remember hearing this tune for | | | | in nightclubs.I wanted to include Deep In |
| the first time and just going absolutely nuts | | | | Vogue in this mix by Malcolm McLaren but I |
| over it. It's an awesome tune to dance to and | | | | thought Buffalo Gals (Original Mix) by |
| I still listen to it today. It definitely has | | | | Malcolm McLaren & The World Famous Supreme |
| the energy and sound of the 80's, the late | | | | Team was a better choice. I just love this |
| Eighties to be exact.Do you all know that | | | | tune and it totally reminds me of the early |
| Divine the cult drag actor from such films as | | | | 80's around 82/83. It's got that sound |
| Hairspray and Pink Flamingos recorded music | | | | perfectly.Another classic from 80's is Boom |
| in the early 80's? Well he did and his | | | | Boom Boom by Paul Lekakis. Thisa was a pretty |
| singing is pretty bad but good in a weird | | | | big dance hit in the late 80's and I haven't |
| sort of way. The music was produced by Bobby | | | | heard of anything else by Paul Lekakis so I |
| O or Bobby Orlando (his real name) who also | | | | figured I'd include Boom Boom Boom in this |
| produced the Pet Shop Boys. Divine's track | | | | mix.The final 2 songs were pretty big hits in |
| Alphabet Rap is a fun tune where he blurts | | | | the 80's and I just love them. They have the |
| out "Give Me a A" or "Give Me A B"!Give you | | | | total 80's poppy dance sound that I can't get |
| all my love is one of my favorite Stacey Q | | | | enough of. We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes |
| tracks. Unfortunately it was not such a big | | | | Off by Jermaine Stewart and Catch Me (I'm |
| hit but it's still a great track.I had to | | | | Falling) by Pretty Poison are the best way to |
| include Samantha Fox on this playlist with | | | | wrap this playlist. Enjoy!80's |
| her pretty big hit Touch Me (I Want To Feel | | | | EnergyFacinated by Company B |
| Your Body). I remember hearing about her | | | | |
| appearances in Playboy or Penthouse magazines | | | | Alphabet Rap by Divine |
| in the nude. This is one of the reason why | | | | |
| she became so popular in the late 80's.Next | | | | Give You All My Love by Stacey Q |
| up is Bobby O himself with Mixed Up World. | | | | |
| This tune reminds me of a real early 80's Pet | | | | Touch Me (I Want Your Body) [Blue Mix] by |
| Shop Boys track. Figures, because he produced | | | | Samantha Fox |
| them! Anyway it's one of my favorite solo | | | | |
| tracks of his.Jody Watley's Looking For A New | | | | Mixed Up World by Bobby O |
| Love was a really big hit in the mid 80's and | | | | |
| it's still fun to listen to so I included it | | | | Looking For A New Love (Extended Version) by |
| as part of this mix.Next up is Shannon with | | | | Jodie Watley |
| one of the biggest dance tunes of the 80's | | | | |
| and of all time, Let The Music Play. I think | | | | Let The Music Play by Shannon |
| it was so big it even was a hit on the pop | | | | |
| charts as well. Her other hit Give Me Tonight | | | | I Can't Wait by Nu Shooz |
| is also a great tune and I heard it in the | | | | |
| film Party Monster just the other day. Let | | | | Holding Out For A Hero (Club Mix) by Bonnie |
| The Music Play fits perfectly in this mix.The | | | | Tyler |
| next track is called I Can't Wait by Nu | | | | |
| Shooz. It was a pretty big hit in 1986. I | | | | The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight by Dominatrix |
| believe that's when it came out and I have a | | | | |
| love/hate relationship with this song so I | | | | Confusion by New Order |
| like it but I tend to not admit to liking it | | | | |
| but I figured I'd put it in this mix.Holding | | | | Buffalo Gals (Original Mix) by Malcolm |
| Out For A Hero was Bonnie Tyler's second hit | | | | McLaren & The World Famous Supreme Team |
| after Total Eclipse Of The Heart a song that | | | | |
| I am so sick of I can't not even think about | | | | Boom Boom Boom by Paul Lekakis |
| it and not get sick! I wanted to include her | | | | |
| in here so Holding Out For A Hero was the | | | | We Don't Have To Take Our Clothes Off by |
| best choice.Next up is The Dominatrix Sleeps | | | | Jermaine Stewart |
| Tonight an awesome song that still sounds | | | | |
| fresh today. I remember I first heard this | | | | Catch Me (I'm Falling) by Pretty PoisonSeb |
| song on Live 105 back in the mid 80's and I | | | | Jarakian is the owner of Musync a music |
| thought it sounded totally like something I | | | | research and licensing company based in San |
| hadn't heard before. It still sounds fresh | | | | Francisco California. Seb's client list |
| today and it recently had made it onto an | | | | includes: Google, Microsoft XBOX, Esurance, |
| International Deejay Gigolos compilation of | | | | Clorox, VISA and Adidas. Seb also owns and |
| electr dance hits. I figured it was on that | | | | updates Best Playlists and Beatzblog - Two |
| comp I'd use it here so it fits perfectly in | | | | blogs about electronic music and Apple's |
| this mix.I had to have a track from New Order | | | | iTunes/iPod technologies. |
| in this playlist and I chose Confusion one of | | | | |
