Subject: Song From The 80s That Best Describes You?

Written By: 80smuzikhead on 01/06/05 at 8:44 pm

What song from the 80s best describes you?
Having given the matter some thought, I would have to say "Sexuality" by Culture Club.
"When I say I don't dance, I mean not like you!"
Cheers!

You know when I see Ultravox mentioned, I have to comment...:D Er... Interesting choice. One of my favourite Ultravox songs. I guess if I had to pick an Ultravox song to describe me at the moment, it would be "Young Savage." ;)

However... overall, there are several Smiths songs which describe me. Too many to mention. But there is one Morrissey song that really stands out and describes me the most: "November Spawned A Monster."

I think "Small Town Boy" by The Communards sums up my teenage-hood, which was the 80's. Not sure if anyone outside the UK will have heard this, it's about a young gay man's isolation in his home town; I wasn't gay, but definitely identified with the song's spirit.
From there, I think the song that described me during the early 90's was "Deee-pending" by Dee-lite, although that might be an early 90's song. The later 90's could be described in the Bauhaus song "Walk Away" (I think that's what it's called, it just has Pete Murphy on a fairly acoustic soundtrack, begins "What do you want from me, what do you long from me?") as I tried to work out my role in life...
The song that most describes me as I write is probably "Frankly Mr Shankly" by The Smiths. I'm writing this from my workplace~ if I spoke as frankly as Moz did, I'm sure I'd not be here much longer- that being said, I did resign from one job using language far worse some time ago- it gave me a great feeling of satisfaction to tell my fool of a boss how much I disliked him, in fact I think I called him "an obsequious little turd", a title he richly deserved.  ;D

Are you talking about what decribes how I was in 80s? Two of them, "She Works Hard for her Money" and "Love is a Battlefield". Today, "Believe it or Not".

Whoa.  First off, a Sigue Sigue Sputnik fan.  Second, an L&R fan.  Third, someone burned out on love.

I was gonna put down Front 242, Headhunter as the song of my life.

But just for you, I'll slip to A Split Second, Bend My Body Armor.  Guaranteed to grind any emotion outa your addled brain so that you can get back to what really matters:  making money and living better as a bachelor than you dreamed possible.

Now, stop what you're doing, and go find the Madman/Speedranch remix of Rockit Miss USA, from SSS's Sci-Fi Sex Stars.  How you get it is up to you -- but I think Sputnikworld is selling it (legally!) under their own imprint, and it's well worth twice the price. 

Metalheads:  If any metalheads are still reading this, I'll take Judas Priest, Private Property.  Feels good when I'm thinking about money.  Feels good when I'm thinking about being a bachelor.  Kills two birds with one stone, and if I play it against the right tracks, I leave the audience with the realization that hair metal bands were doing KMFDM-style industrial-techno-metal 10 years before industrial-techno-metal had even been invented.
