I couldn't agree more, man

That's sad as fuck.. I can't think of anyone since who could sing like Whitney Houston. Imo, she's the golden standard for the national anthem. That voice could undoubtedly rally a nation. "At the rockets red glare!" almost seems fake!;

I liked Roseanne's version better.

Weird song to make the larger point, but fuck it..

I really like songs like this, where you kind of have to put yourself in the writers position to enjoy it. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun dismisses all ambiguity. This song was written by a girl at the height of her young life, being socially coerced into a conformist society while she fought back against it. I love music for these kinds of reasons. Total freedom of expression.

I remember her doing this on Johnny Carson,she put on a helluva performance, you could tell Johnny was wanting to do her! lol

I used to play their first album to death. It is shame Mark Hollis retired as Talk Talk was a special band.

Here is a do it yourself from Belgium 1989. Probably had his friends or sisters dancing in the video. Not bad for a club number.

Blue Monday possibly the greatest dance floor song along with this:

Giorgio Moroder. Supposedly Eno and Bowie freaked out when this came out.

1984 Romeo Void - Girl In Trouble. The sax work is incredible. Onhe of the few good bands to come out of San Fran along with The Residents. The record company pretty much pulled the plug on them because great woman singer was overweight.
