I saw this over at pelf-ism is contagious blog and I thought it was cute. She left it open to use, so I wasn’t tagged specifically for it, I just thought it was cool.

1. Go to PopCulture.
2. On the left column, pick the year you turned 18 years old.
3. Get nostalgic over the songs.
4. Write about the songs.
5. Pass this to 5 other friends.

The year I turned 18, it was 1983, and I was a senior in high school ready to get the hell out! Here are the top 15 songs of that year. Some I loved, and some I hated. And some I have never even heard of.

1. It’s Raining Men - The Weather Girls (Isn’t this the gay anthem?)
2. Come On Eileen - Dexy’s Midnight Runners (Loved it,and I still listen to it this day)
3. Flashdance (What A Feeling) - Irene Cara (Stupid song - stupid movie)
4. Billie Jean - Michael Jackson (Hated it)
5. Wanna Be Starting Something - Michael Jackson (Hated it)
6. Electric Avenue - Eddie Grant (Catchy tune)
7. Rock The Casbah - The Clash (Loved it!)
8. Bang The Drum All Day - Todd Rundgren (Loved it!)
9. You and I - Eddie Rabbitt and Crystal Gayle (I don’t even remember this song)
10. Ain’t Nobody - Rufus and Chaka Khan (I don’t remember this either)
11. Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) - Journey (Loved it!)
12. Kiss The Bride - Elton John (What is this song? Never heard of it)
13. Let’s Go Dancin’ (Ooh La, la, La) - Kool and the Gang (Good rollerskating song)
14. **1999** - Prince (Loved it!)
15. I Melt With You - Modern English (Loved it!)

The GAY anthem? There is such an anthem??! LOL.

And well.. I’ve never heard of any of the songs..!! But thanks for picking it up, and for the backlink :)

It just seems that every movie that is about gay people, they play this song in it, jokingly of course ;)

The Modern English song is an absolute classic. It is definitely on my top-25 list most played on iTunes.

I knew all of your songs except for Kiss the Bride- and I liked them all, too. I was just a youngen, though - so they were all cool to me! LOL


MyAvatars 0.2 Jules on 22 May, 2007 at 7:58 pm

Ooops, sorry about that.


MyAvatars 0.2 Jules on 22 May, 2007 at 7:59 pm

Did you look yours up Steph?


MyAvatars 0.2 SanDiegoClubs on 23 May, 2007 at 12:21 am

Come on Eileen is one of my favorite songs too. I liked the Save Ferris version, but I like the original better.

Julie - so you mean you’ve never seen the movie - “Breakin’”?? or “Breakin’ 2 - Electric Boogaloo”??

If you had - you would know (and love, I might add heehee) the song Ain’t Nobody!

I just love those movies - but that’s the kind o dork I am! LOL
