Cool Essex girl - I have seen her do this acapella and totally impromptu in a local wine bar - Amazing...

1984

Nice addition Eddy, that must have been great :thumbsup :)

1982

i'm starting to suspect you have some german ties

1984

No links that I know of, but when I first moved to Wales people used to ask if I was German

I'm guessing some of those bands above are German? I just know the tunes from my childhood

Nice find, I haven't heard that in a while :thumbsup

i didnt check the first one so i didnt know it had english lyrics

this is the original, they guy occasionally still shows up on TV and sings this



Also FR David was huge in Germany, didn't realize he was known elsewhere

and then you posted Micaela Schäfer and even did the "ä" correctly :1orglaugh

Now it makes sense, I thought my copy & paste of the special "ä" might make someone think I actually had a clue about it :winkwink: :thumbsup

Did someone say German?..

hehe....

edit: one more of my childhood songs that made it internationally - original is "99 Luftballons" :)

and then there was

Great tune, I never heard that version :thumbsup

in the early 90ties i was a DJ - specialized on 80ties music and especially "new german wave" from the early 80ties - i could go on for hours with this stuff ;)

Superb! :thumbsup Myself I know the tunes, but not many of the names or the background info

Did you play to some big crowds?

i think my maximum was at 1500 people on new year 1999/2000 - at the club i worked it was usually about 400-600

Must have been an incredible feeling :)

yes but i wish i would have been paid like the DJs get paid today - and not just 75 Euro per night

:1orglaugh

Yeah, that's a shame, there is serious money for Judge Jules and Co

True story...

1980

Devo Whip It

The best of the 80's. Piriod.

80s are awesome, except on siriusxm - somehow the play 90% shitty 80s songs and barely any of the good ones.

real assholes over there.

:)

Back when The Fixx were "new", I was an A & R guy for MCA Records...still one of my favorite bands! Glad you posted that...I was about to post:
