How did I miss this in the 80s?

Memory about Robert Palmer's song Addicted to Love. My alarm goes off in the morning. Addicted to love is playing. The alarm goes off after you ignore if for so long. Where does it shut off you wonder? "might as well face it you're a dic." Hey! Screw you too Robert Palmer!!

Thanks to this thread, I woke up with "Manic Monday" stuck in my head this morning.

Saw the go-gos at Irvine meadows in 82, went in with low expectations but was very surprised.
it was a really good show.

That reminds me of a story. About 5ish years ago, there was a guy at work that was into Belinda Carlisle and the GoGos. Belinda and/or the GoGos were coming to the area in concert, and the guy was going. In the days after the concert, I went into the men's room, and out of one of the stalls, I hear this guy crooning away on one of their slow ballady songs at practically full volume. I had to chuckle. He had his ear buds in with the volume cranked, so he didn't realize that he was singing or didn't realize how loudly he was singing. We all got a good chuckle. He was pretty mortified.

I'll be all over the 80's genre! I was a teenager during all this hair band, rap and alternative era. And honestly, STD's aside, how do you have a thread about 80's women and have no mention of the "material girl"?

Yup.

I was a fan of these guys after a buddy played me their Only a Lad album back in 1983. Saw them in NYC in '86 or '87. Can't remember the venue or exact date, but it was one of my favorites.



Edit: watching that video again for the first time in a long time...there's so much wrong with it!
