Nostalgia for the 80s

[markr31]

Yeah. B-52s stuff was a lot of fun.

[brianlarsen]

You called?

Neil Gaiman's Crazy Hair - original

@LBro Thanks for the listen and thumbs up. Much appreciated. Wigs and over-the-top performances are fun! If there was ever a band I idolised and would have loved to be a member of, just for the joy, it would have been the B-52s. Check out Mr. Fred Schneider in this ‘wig-out’ [B 52's Wig]

This was the sound of the 80’s for me, Eurythmics

Nice one Silvia, there are so many songs from around that era that I aspire to play, yet unfortunately my ambitions currently outweigh my abilities but i’m working on it. Chicago had some great stuff as did REM.

[CD02]

We must be due one of those great @nzmetal performances soon Jeff mustn’t we

[SILVIA]

@sairfingers

Not the 80s but the 70s.

Absolutely that decade too! If I think just at the music or artists of my own country is like wow.

@sairfingers

She’s now my wife of 45 years!

Yes…with this thread I also expected some romance story!

@brianlarsen

I’m still working on my continental dance moves [a la Celentano]

Man…you should be careful…you’ve got an age
@sairfingers in this case the song is quite known almost as much as the artist who is one of the most appreciated from those years here in Italy, definetely one of my dear daddy’s fav, so I know most of his songs

Brian, this little gem from the 70s is for you; here Celentano makes fun of Mina’ s most popular Parole Parole by inverting roles and I guess making fun about women’ s attitude at being courted…it makes me laugh so much

Adriano Celentano Mina e Alberto Lupo Parole parole Teatro 10 Puntata del 07.05.1972

[SILVIA]

Richard I think you might add some other stuff that doesn’t fall in the “too manufactured pop” category, but of course songs that maybe didn’t speak to you according to your taste.

Now as I’m going to check the other recordings that you all shared…what about this two?

Mike Oldfield ft. Maggie Reilly - Moonlight Shadow (Official Video)

Christopher Cross - Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) (Official Music Video) [Remastered HD]

@SILVIA

Man…you should be careful…you’ve got an age

Hey Brian @brianlarsen , I see a trend …Ooo now the Italian girl is in trouble

ps:I’ve always thought that was a wonderful song

greetings

[SILVIA]

Eh…but what have I said?! Truly, Celentano is among my daddy’s fave …really it’s just about having a good laugh and I see self irony is Brian’s thing as much it’s my thing…

@SILVIA

@sairfingers

Not the 80s but the 70s.

Absolutely that decade too!

Then just for @brianlarsen here’s a 70s tune I’m sure he loved

[SILVIA]

…Not exactly this one for me but the italian version one of my fav artist made…I think it’s one of the songs I listened to the most.

Antonello Venditti - Alta Marea

[roger_holland]

But …I said (something nice as always over two years ago) and makes a comment that he is already so terribly old …after that never …cough …cough …ever …cough…any more … and he then said “I don’t know whether to bless you or curse you” … The next thing I type is 100% real … well ,I have a feeling what he chose in the following week the calls from England started pouring in for maybe 4 months, Every time I blocked a number, a variant of such a telephone number came from a friendly Asian lady who wanted to help me with my computer…

now I ask you… is that really a coincidence?

Okay, maybe not a real question above , but then I thought it was funny and I had to think about it every time “she” called (which I found very annoying).

I don`t understand irony

Sorry ,I will stop en try to take care of my garden

Thanks for the smiles

[sairfingers]

I was a big Rod Stewart/Faces fan back in the 60/70/80s.
Here’s one especially for you Sylvia.

Rod Stewart - Italian Girls

[roger_holland]

This one also brings back a lot of memories, but I mainly looked up this classic to ask @tRONd what he thought of it as a little Trondje ?

And I also wanted to say that I hope that you are just only very busy with your work at this time, which has happened before… and still play the axe

Greetings

[brianlarsen]

@SILVIA

definetely one of my dear daddy’s fav

I have a cool Adriano Celentano playlist that I love to revisit every now and again

@roger_holland

But …I said,

As I mentioned just now in another thread, the position of ‘weird English’ has been taken

[brianlarsen]

@Socio

here’s a 70s tune I’m sure he loved

Can you believe despite watching that film countless times, I never actually listened to the lyrics of the opening tune?
Needs parental warning/NSFW though

Got a tickle in my neck, went to look and read and laughed out loud…my girl too…

I wanted to make jokes and write off other forum members such as The Italian girl, but I feared that I would probably make it worse, and today I made many big mistakes several times…curse (now it’s correct @sequences ).

Greetings and goodenighte

@CD02

We must be due one of those great @nzmetal performances soon

Thanks Craig! Might be working on a couple of things, we’ll see

[SILVIA]

Hi Jeff

@nzmetal

Not sure about the “shine on you crazy diamond” similarity though, Silvia?!

Oh…but I didn’t mention similarity here, I just wrote that at a certain point I started singing…and that’s because there was no singing there while I was expecting it
I can’t do without the singing and the pink floyd seemed to fit well

[sairfingers]

Well if a ghostly hand came out of a magazine I was reading, I for one wouldn’t be reaching out to hold it!
