80s/Electronica Your Top 1 80's song



masterpiece


Holy shit! Thank you for this. I haven't heard this video or seen this song in 30 years.

I was grounded in junior high for getting bad grades in school. I had to come directly home from school and not go out and play with friends for some amount of time (can't remember how long but it felt like forever). During that time I made a VHS tape of music videos I liked from some video show that aired on a local network. This was on the tape with other songs like:

I'm trying to put some videos up that haven't been put up yet on the thread.

(I think this song was used for some recycling video and probably doesn't have an official video)



 
"This song is too 80's even for the 80's..." as per the top youtube comment

"This video is the most eightiesest eighties that ever eightiesed."
 
Absolutely amazing work by Derringer here in the late 80's with this bad ass song, also happened to be my favorite wwf theme as a little guy when I was into wrestling. I'd have no problem cranking this up while driving

Triple 80's comment. Aha. Impressive.
Let's see: A pool, a keyboard, big hair, random use of gold lamé, many shiny things, wall to wall handclaps, much pouting and irony, a cracking materialist anthem - it certainly ticks a lot of boxes :D
But is it a match for the kajagoogoo mullets from hell?
Or...could there be an even 80'ier tune out there...? <Moves>
 


The funny thing about this song is that I had NEVER heard it during the 80's I didn't hear it until I was watching MTV classic back in 2010!

It was also a US top 20 hit back in 86 so it makes it more unusual

I'm from a small town in the deep South... Let's just say that there was a lot of "Swamp Rock" on the radio! :)



NOT Swamp Rock ^ :)

Its also how radio works that once you miss the time line of a song constantly being played on the radio, it doesn't get heard of ever again despite being a top 40 hit. Not even on flashback radio segments


Its like this song that use to get played airplay during the spring of 88 but not heard of since then
