It's time, once again, for #abftp! The next two hours are powered by ChatGPT. Top hits of the 80's? 80's one hit wonders? We asked, it responded.
Listen in on 88.7fm in Indy or online @WICRonline.org
Beat It was always my favorite from the Thriller album... mainly because it didn't involve werewolf makeup and teeth.
Plus that sick Eddie VH solo.... that wasn't recorded in one take, sadly.
Lots of good tunes from She's So Unusual - Cyndi's debut album!
I know a lot of friends who absolutely hate Walking on Sunshine. I still think it's a banger from K and the Waves.
One of the better lyrics - even though the song is creepy AF..
"How my poor heart aches with every step you take."
One couple told Sting that they loved the song and it was the main song played at their wedding.
His response? "Good Luck!"
A candidate for #ratetheremake, Tainted Love was a Gloria Jones song from the 60's before Soft Cell got a hold of it.
Top 5 best guitar solos ever. Don't at me.
Good rhythm guitar, too!
I know... it's overplayed... but the A.I. told me to.
We gotta hold on to what we've got... it doesn't make a difference if we're naked or not.
That baseline, tho!
There is now a "Whitney" channel on Sirius/XM. My husband locks it on that channel every time he's in the car.
"When I look back now... the summer seemed to last forever."
and
"And now the times are changin'. Look at everything that's come and gone. Sometimes when I play that old six-string. I think about you, wonder what went wrong.
More lyric greatness.
Now it's time for an hour of one hit wonders... that... aren't one hit wonders.
The biggest tragedy about the "Take on Me" filter on TikTok was that nobody acted out the music video. I only saw ONE account with a person throwing himself against a door frame!
A Flock of Seagulls is more than just I Ran (So Far Away) even though it's usually the only song played by them on the radio.
So Pop Muzik came up as an 80's one hit wonder, - and that's correct... but technically it was released in the late 70's... so... does that count?
"We're taking an A.I. that was probably programmed by VH1 and asked it what are some 80's one hit wonders."
Don't You (Forget About Me) is quickly approaching the toasty list number one spot, for me.
That damned freaky cow!
Sweet Dreams are made of these... who am I do dis a brie?
This video sticks in my memory.
ChatGPT told me to include Falco in this One Hit Wonders show... but Falco is NOT a OHW! Besides Rock Me Amadeus, he had another hit with Vienna Calling.
A fun tune about nuclear warfare to end the show!
This song has finally worn out its welcome in my ears. Although I still hear as he's singing "It was the summer of '85!" from when he performed at Live Aid.
@see_the_sus : I can see that. It has been played many many times.
@see_the_sus : Yeah, there's a filter that puts the camera in the same rotoscope thing that Take on Me is doing.
hmmm...yeah, don't think so. I'll stick to what I do best.
I NEVER remember the cow. How it is that I can forget about it, is beyond me. Probably bedazzled by Annie's hair. π€©
@JoeOTAir is there a βtwo hit wondersβ show? Can I nominate βBig Countryβ for it?l as well?
I had ...feelings... about this video, as a young person who didn't yet know I was trans.
@tyghebright : I had so many feelings about this video and many others growing up in that decade!
Eurythmics, David Bowie, Prince, Roxy Music, and Bronski Beat were all among my favorites.
@tyghebright : A great list! I'm not very familiar with Bronski Beat other than Smalltown Boy.
I would add to my list Freddie Mercury.
What do you think of their new single, "First You Jump?" I really dig it.
@see_the_sus : I have not heard of this yet! I will go find!
Let me know what ya think!
Invasion of the Strawberry Snatchers!!!
I'm drinking a new concoction that went thru a couple of alterations. First image is without cranberry juice. 2nd image didn't have enough cranberry juice. 3rd, is just right! π
** CoSo photo tip: do a smidge of editing and the photo will post the way you want it to show.
@see_the_sus : Wow!!! Looks like a lot of YUM!
I just love that this is Slash now.
