80s Song Of The Day
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
Hi everyone, my name is Shane and I so glad you found my channel.
The 80s Song Of The Day began as a quirky little addition to our Weekly Staff Zoom Meetings at work. (Which is why some early videos mention links to the songs in the Slack Channel. That was done for the sake of my colleagues.)
My coworkers all know that I love 80s music and can always supply a little trivia about the songs I'm listening to.
After I started doing my presentations as video clips I was encouraged to start a TH-cam channel.
And that where we are now. I hope you enjoy the music and stay around. If you like what I'm doing please consider subscribing.

So many great songs - but director refused to release the soundtrack! - 80s Song of The Day.
Life moves pretty fast… If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
This week it's the ultimate boy’s own adventure. With a wildly eclectic soundtrack. Indeed I had a hard time picking just one song from this film.
Of course I am talking about Ferris Beuller’s Day Off. My personal favourite John Hughes film. Deeply loved by its fans - we will take a look at the many musical moments that make this one of the best soundtracks ever.
So get ready to barf up a lung and eat some pancreas as we look at another 80s Song Of The Day.
If we were leave out the obviously non-eighties songs like Danke Shoen by Wayne Newton an excerpt from the Star Wars Theme and the Beatles singing Twist and Shout. The rest is of it includes Sigue Sigue Sputnik’s Love Missile F1-11. Beat City" by The Flowerpot Men, two tracks by the Dream Academy, namely The Edge Of Forever and an instrumental cover of The Smiths song, Please, please please let me get what I want. Oh yeah by Swiss Duo Yello, BAD by Big Audio Dynamite and "March of the Swivelheads" by the Beat.
The genres cover post punk/new wave, Electronica, Ska, Pop and more. John Hughes actually refused to release a soundtrack album which made Label A&M furious. The begged him to put one out but Hughes felt the collection would not work well together as a continuous album. Saying “"who'd want all of these songs? I mean, would kids want "Danke Schoen" and "Oh Yeah" on the same record?"
But what to choose as the song of the day? "Please please please…" comes at a really pivotal moment in the film, but it’s too soon to be dipping back into the Smiths catalogue just yet. "Oh yeah" is a classic but I feel is already very well known to most people. You can’t even look at a red Ferrari without hearing “Oh Yeah” by Yello inside your head.
Instead I’m going recommend BAD by Big Audio Dynamite. Fusing Rock Funk Reggae and Hip Hop. Big Audio Dynamite was formed in London by Mick Jones former guitarist and co-vocalist with the Clash. They had a UK, US, Australia and New Zealand Number 1 with the song Rush in 1991.
Bad was the B-Side to their Single “The Bottom Line” which did moderately well in Australasia especially in the club scene but thanks to it’s inclusion in Ferris Beuller’s Day Off it is probably as well known now as any of their other singles from the 80s.

Band Had To Be Convinced To Record This Song. It Became Their Biggest Hit! - 80s Song of The Day
มุมมอง 51914 วันที่ผ่านมา
As we continue looking at the films of legendary 80s Screenwriter Director and producer John Hughes and the songs and soundtracks that helped cement them into eighties history, this week we are looking at 1985’s the Breakfast Club. Unlike many of his other films, The Breakfast Club did have an original score in a sense. An album of songs was commissioned - with the tracks primarily written and ...

This week we have the first in a series focusing on the films of writer, producer and director, John Hughes. And by extension the soundtracks and songs that helped make them some of the most iconic films of the neon decade. So borrow your crushes underwear and join me for this week’s 80s Song of the Day. As Hughes developed his directorial style he eventually hit a winning formula with his soun...
When radio realised what this song was really about they stopped playing it. It cost the band a # 1

There are 3 words that always get used together when talking about the music business. It’s that unholy trinity of Sex and Drugs and Rock ’n Roll. Well today’s song is probably considered more like pop but it certainly ticks the other 2 boxes. It’s an 80s classic by a band that was better know for being punk rockers. Despite zero confidence or support from their label this hit defied all expect...
Success caught them unprepared! They had a surprise mega-hit but didn't even have a music video!!

Take a look with me at a million selling hit that no one was prepared for! How the producers of this record shelved it because they didn't realise what a successful song they had. They were so unprepared for its success they didn't even have a music video for it. And we look at the origin of the internet’s biggest, most enduring meme.
This duo's producer kept spending $$$ and blew the budget while they had no idea what was happening!

As I do research for these videos I discover things I never knew including new music that despite being decades old is brand new to me. So following on from last week’s episode on German Synth-Pop group Propaganda I’m taking a look at Claudia Brücken next recording project and my new favourite obsession… and the financial challenges in bring it to the world. Stay tuned for Lifestyles of the Ric...

This week we’re taking a look at a classic hit... “I can’t go for that. (No can do)” from Hall and Oates. Despite forming a good friendship and even sharing a couple of apartments together Darryl Hall and John Oates never actually formed a group together until years later and eventually released their first album on Atlantic Records in 1972. They had incredible output, releasing an album a year...
This Band Could Have Ruled the Eighties Music Scene But ONE SUPERSTAR GROUP Stood in their Way.

It's 1985 and bands like Duran Duran, A-Ha, Tears for Fears and many others were cementing their status as giants of Eighties pop. And launching their first album around this time were a band, described by one reviewer as “ABBA in Hell”. They were ready for international stardom but One Group prevented their success and spelled the end for their career.

What do you get when you combine a model, a Soap Opera actress, TV presenter, some lesser known relatives of more famous musicians and a member of European royalty? Sounds like a season of “I’m a celebrity - get me out of here” but in the 80s you got the Chantoozies.

When Misery Needs Company, You Need THE SMITHS - 80s Song Of The Day
มุมมอง 1762 หลายเดือนก่อน
Formed in Manchester England the Smiths were prolific producers of indie rock in the short time they were together. Releasing 4 albums (Pretty much 1 per year) between 1984 and 1987 before their eventual breakup in 88.
'Five Minutes' was a jukebox fave for me in my local pub.
I've misheard the lyric. I thought it was about Gordon Brown....
this has been my favourite song for 42 years... if it's not played at my funeral, i'm not going!!
Hi! Canadian here. Never heard of this band. 58 years to have heard of them
Nah mate.......totally disagree. Despite the brilliance of 'Golden Brown' - the Stranglers were best known for 'Peaches'.
I thought it was about weed.
I love The Stranglers. From Hugh to Baz there's decades of bangers!
Skin Deep was a good song too!
I assumed it was a description of a golden shower in the wee hours of morning along with two girls and a cuppa something else ;-)
The interior shots in the video are Leighton House, Holland Park. A really cool place.
Its strange ...they didnt have the popularity in the states that I think they should have ...NEVER heard them on any rock radio . It was weird because everyone I played them for were very impressed ...JUST A GREAT DIRTY ROCK BAND
AMAZING BAND !!!! Beautiful song . I've been a big fan since 79? just a young kid
Gold and Brown…… Thought it was going to be a sex thing that required lots of soap and a shower afterwards 😲 Not sure that heroine addiction is an improvement
Sounds kinda like Norwegian Wood to me🤔
In my opinion, Solsbury Hill does qualify as an 80s song as it was in the 80s I first heard it and became aware of such music.
Not their best - I prefered Peaches Also listen to Ian Dury - S & D & RnR !
I have this soundtrack.
Another great song about h addiction - Never let me down by Depeche Mode
Never heard of them, or the song.
Just found your channel by chance........given I think I'm probably the same vintage as you, I had to check it out. Have watched a few videos and am impressed. Informative, interesting and seemingly well researched. Even bands I'm largely disinterested in I actually enjoyed hearing your insights and facts. Nice one mate. You deserve a bigger following........hopefully you'll get it. Cheers.
Wow, thank you! That's a lovely compliment. I will do my best. ❤❤
BAD! top choice. Fab video. Thanks again
When I was 19, I was told that I looked like Matthew Broderick and now that I'm 63, it's Howard Stern. Getting old sucks 🙃
So it's in 13/4?
Isn't "Murder by Numbers" by The Police in 7/4 tme? I love it's weird syncopation.
Dude you merit a channel for each decade. I really appriciate your delivery of context throughout. Some ytbers leave the 'meat' at the end. You obv have skills.
Thanks! That's a huge compliment. Unfortunately I don't have the time to be able to do one for each decade. Maybe one day!
Stranglers are incredibly underrated
Marches are 2/4.
It was an insider muso knowledge thing, the song " TURNING JAPANESE" was about the face a male makes when achieving orgasm. Yet it was played on daytime TV.
This song was my first introduction to Simple Minds.
Cornwell ! His name is Cornwell, not Cornwall. I don't remember it stop being played in the UK at all. Peaches however is always played on the radio with a subtle edit, but I've no idea who voiced this edit.
This is a re-work of a Dave Brubeck original...
Look at Aussie 80's music . The Angels Midnight Oil etc .
Best song ever !
Great new wave song I caught it in my 20s which was the 90s...understood it's meaning straight away..
Nice “n” sleazy. A great Stranglers song.
1977 is close enough to the eighties, do Solsbury Hill!
I never thought much of this song,,its not a patch on "No More Hero,s"
I got the Album “La folie” when it came out in 1981, so it was pretty obvious what the song was about. It got to number 2 in the charts. I wasn’t aware that it was ever “not played” on the radio. It was certainly the best track on the Album.
My mum thought it was about toast!!!!!
Love Golden Brown and Peaches, but i much prefer The European Female though it seems most people forget about it
Only a dick thought anything else
Now I know why they didnt release 'bring on the nubiles' as a single! The Stranglers were very inventive and much more musical than other bands in the punk era. Every member made a big contribution to all their music.
"There she goes" by the La's was also about heroin, as was "Just like honey" by The Jesus and Mary chain, also "Heroin" by the velvet underground which will surprise absolutely no-one.
No more heroes x
No, that isn't why it didn't get to No.1 in the UK. It was beaten to No.1 by The Jam's "Town Called Malice", because The Jam had released 2 different 7"s of Town Called Malice: one with a studio version and one with a live version and that sales for both 7"s of their single were counted together, much to the annoyance of the Stranglers' label EMI, who knew that fans of the Jam were buying both 7"s of Town Called Malice and felt that that was the reason why Golden Brown missed the top spot.
It was certainly a factor but did you miss the part in the video where Hugh literally says it was because the bass player told people it was about heroin?😄
@@shanekerr4415 I didn't miss that, but it hasn't stopped radio stations playing it since then. Even Smooth Radio have played it, oddly enough.
It's a great song, memorable for its rhythm as well as Hughs vocals. Now added to my playlist.
And brilliantly used in the movie Snatch.
Tank, Peaches,Down in the Sewer,96 tears,etc. etc. brilliant band
No more heroes Peaches
First single I ever bought, 65p !
