Sunday rewind: songs that I like to sing along to

So, for today’s Rewind, I give you my favorite songs I like to sing along to.  If I’m being really honest, it’s more like songs I think I can sing the hell out of.  

They’re mostly one-hit wonders, but such good stuff.  Oh, and these videos are some 80’s gold.

First up is one of my all-time favorite 80’s songs evah.  T’pau’s “Heart and Soul.”  Best line: I used to have a lover with a Midas touch.  IF I HAD A NICKEL, PEOPLE.

Next would be my theme song, “Goody Two Shoes” by the one and only Adam Ant.  Best line: You don’t drink, don’t smoke/What do you do/The subtle innuendos follow/There must be something inside.

This one would be a duet.  It’s “Obsession” by Animotion.  It’s the song that spawned a million stalkers — if you listen to the lyrics, it’s nuts.  The video makes exactly ZERO sense.  Best line: My fantasy has turned to madness /And all my goodness /Has turned to badness. 

Lastly, totally not a one-hit wonder and completely the opposite of the other videos today — The Commodores with “Nightshift.”  I love this song.  Major love.  When I sing this one in the car it’s dangerous, because I have to do the hand motions.  It’s a fab song, more subtle than “Brickhouse,” (obviously) and it’s about Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson, who both passed away in 1984, the year before this song came out.  The Kerry Blog is all about musical education, is it not?  This video is perfect.  The outfits at the end SO remind me of Isaac from the Love Boat, it’s good times.  Best line: At the end of a long day/It’s gonna be okay/On the Nightshift.
