Time for another, this next one later went on to be featured in the film "There's something about Mary"
|
#82 Danny Wilson - Mary's Prayer This was a flop in 1987 and only reached number 86 although it did much better in the U.S, it did however reach number 3 when it was re-released a year later |
#81 Diana Ross - Why do fools fall in love? In 1981 Diana had a top 10 hit with a cover of this classic song |
This next one is an iconic 80's song, many people have had a go at covering it from Atomic Kitten to Nirvana, from One Direction (on The Xfactor) to Alvin and the Chipmunks, but the original will never be beaten.
She was also my first crush. |
|
#79 Robert Palmer - Johnny and Mary This song just missed out on the top 40 reaching number 44 in 1980 |
|
Errrrrrrrrrrrrr! no
If I was gay then I probably would agree, but I'm not coming out to anyone. |
Speaking of gay, here comes the next song.
|
|
|
May as well do one more then I'll be one quarter of the way through.
|
|
You have to put something in for the hard rockers.
|
#75 The Korgis - Everybody's got to learn sometime This single reached number 5 in 1980 |
#74 Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls A 1986 number 1 smash hit, the song was voted song of the decade in the years between 1985 and 1994 by The British academy of composers and songwriters |
I can see your all having fun.
The anticipation of whats coming next must be killing you? |
|
you bloody put Running Up That Hill in the top fifty immediately
(some more great songs, never been a fan of Sledgehammer though) :love: |
Thanks Shaun, sorry Miss Bush couldn't make it higher, I know your a fan, it's a pity Wuthering heights was a 70s tune, she may have had a top 50 place with that one.
|
#72 Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are made of this) This classic reached number 2 in the U.K and number 1 in the U.S in 1983 |
Time for "The Boss"
And it's not "Dancing in the dark" |
#71 Bruce Springsteen - Hungry Heart Not a hit in the U.K in 1980 only reaching number 44 although it did better when re-released 15 years later |
Robert Palmer - Johnny and Mary, I'd heard it before but never knew who sang it or what it was called.
Kate :worship: That Korgis one was seriosuly depressing :laugh: |

True or Gold? |
