Ok Friday night and I'm listening to music as is my habit.........sooooooooo.........

Some songs I listen to now from the 80s (my era) weren't taken that seriously in their day but given another listen nowadays........I think are worthy of more praise than they were once given.

First one...........Hunting High and Low by Aha.........perfect imho.......but were dismissed in their day as being a bit light weight........

Agree/disagree........suggest another............

?

some 80s poppy music was rubbish and wasnt much of that era I liked,,,,,,best groups was,,,,,

Status and Dire Straits...plus Queen was at their best.

Yes, I agree Muffy, to this day I still have the birdie song blasting out me sub-woofers :O)

A gal after my own heart, Kate. I alternate it with Brown Girl in the Ring.

I liked Dire Straits in their day but the one song that stands up for me is Brothers in Arms........but it is a tad depressing so have to be in the right mood to listen to it lol.

Queen were ok......

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into Springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad.

Climb every mountain
Search high and low
Follow every byway
Every path you know

Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
Till you find your dream

A dream that will need
All the love you can give
Every day of your life
For as long as you live

Climb every mountain
Ford every stream
Follow every rainbow
Till you find your dream

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl-oo
Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd's throat heard
Layee odl, layee odl-oo
Oho layee odllee-oo
Oho layee odl ay!
Oho layee odllee-oo
Hododlleeoay!
A prince on the bridge of a castle moat heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
Men on a boat with a load to tote heard
Layee odl, layee odl-oo
Men in the mists of a chapel dote heard
Layee odl, layee odl-oo
Men drinking beer with the foam afloat heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo

[Cough cough!]

One little girl in a pale pink coat heard
Layee odl, layee odl-oo
She yodeled back to the lonely goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl-oo
Soon her mama with a gleaming gloat heard
Layee odl, layee odl layee-oo
What a duet for a girl and goatherd
Layee odl, layee odl-oo

Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Ode layee
Ode layee-ee
Ode layee
Oh Oh Oh Oh layee odl layee-oo
Oh oh layee odl lay
Oh Oh Oh Oh layee odl layee-oo
Layee odllee-o hododlleeoay!

Wooo!

I've got a ferret sticking up my nose.
He's got a ferret sticking up his nose.
How it got there I can't tell, but now it's there it hurts like hell,
And what is more it radically affects my sense of smell. His sense of smell.
I've got a ferret sticking up my nose.
It pokes its head out every time he blows.
I can tolerate it for a while although it's absolutely vile,
It's not as bad as last week when I had a crocodile. A crocodile.
I can see a bare-bottomed mandril,
Slyly eying his other nostril.
I really don't know what to do, but if it jumps inside there too,
I shall be the proud possessor of a kind of nasal zoo. A nasal zoo.
I've got a ferret sticking up my nose,
And what is worse it constantly explodes.
Ferrets don't explode you say but it happened nine times yesterday,
And I should know 'cause each time I was standing in the way. 'Ding in the way

Me and Mrs Jones, we got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now

We meet ev'ry day at the same cafe
Six-thirty I know she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song

Me and Mrs, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones
Mrs. Jones got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now

We gotta be extra careful
That we don't build our hopes too high
Cause she's got her own obligations and so do I
Me, me and Mrs, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones
Mrs Jones got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it cool down now

Well, it's time for us to be leaving
Iit hurts so much, it hurts so much inside
Now she'll go her way and I'll go mine
But tomorrow we'll meet the same place, the same time
Me and Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones, Mrs Jones

Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss,Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever.

CAPTAIN, MARIA, THE CHILDREN AND CHORUS:
Small and white clean and bright
You look happy to meet me
Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow
Bloom and grow forever
Edelweiss,Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever.

Perhaps I had a wicked childhood
Perhaps I had a miserable youth
But somwhere in my wicked, miserable past
There must have been a moment of truth

For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good

Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good

[Captain:]
For here you are, standing there, loving me
Whether or not you should

[Maria:]
So somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good

[Maria and the Captain:]
Nothing comes from nothing
Nothing ever could

[Maria:]
So somewhere in my youth
[Captain:]
Or childhood
[Maria:]
I must have done something . . .
[Maria and the Captain:]
Something good
