Dunno,.. it's pretty hard to beat the hippie with the tambourine from Ram Jam. He was in his own fucked up little world.

OK, and yeah Belinda was hot back in the day. I got some flashback hornies watching that.
Dammit.

Bruce is doing the same dance as Belinda, right? You know, Dancing int he dark with its mixed metaphors and cheesy synth stuff pretty much sucks...yet I heard it on some generic hits radio program the other day. Never been a huge Bruce fan but I know he has much better stuff than that tripe. It still lives. As for Belinda, I remember a clip somewhere someone posted of her trashed backstage prattling on about masturbation. Dem was da daze.

I watched the entire video and now I feel the strong urge to have sexual relations with another man. !ff/:

This thread is stone brutal. I knew the 80s sucked but I had forgotten how bad. If someone puts the Thompson Twins on here it's ###### war! :angry:
ps-We can't curse here any more? :huh:

True story...Robert Palmer's first album is excellent. The guy had a lot fo talent. Died a couple years ago of a heart attack.
BlackTalon - April 26, 2008 04:57 PM (GMT)
Yeah, I hate that he died.
All those tall dark haired chicks with red lipstck and hair pulled back dancing were the shit. 8DRTV75

Palmer didn't have a powerhouse voice but his timing and phrasing were really good and his choice of material, etc., was generally tasteful. Really a blues/soul guy at heart. I really liked him...especially his early stuff when Little Feat backed him up.

Funny, but NOT a qualifier. They are NOT doing THE '80's dance!

Ah . . . Boy George put his own little twist on the eighties dance. So much so that I'm not even sure it qualifies as THE eighties dance.
Compare the Boy's sultry sway with the familiar to any football fan but still so effininate forearm shiver to the classic dip twist elbows out classic form of Bruce and Belinda . . . and even the black dude wearing the cowboy hat at 1:18 here:

Iconic eighties? YES
Eighties Dance? Maybe . . .
