TIME MACHINE - The 80´s Game

And we tought we were cool

This morning I woke up with a very curious need (yes, I need a shrink, I know... or maybe to get laid more often...) I wanted to open a new playlist ibcluding only 80´s music, I wanted a playlist full of old hits, those u don´t even remember that existed. Those that are hidden in some warmth corner of our memories...

BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM....(why the hell tere´s always a problem??????)

I´M UST 25 YEARS OLD (1979), SO... I WASN´T OLD ENOUGH TO ENJOY THOSE SONGS AS I AM DOING IT NOW. And I discover that it was a little hard for me to remember names and titles such as Martika(Toy Soldiers), Tasmine Archer (Sleepping Satelite) or Kim Carnes(Bette Davis Eyes).

A little upset with my weak memory and keen on the idea of making a memorabble hit-to-death playlist, I started to ask all my MSN friends worldwide this silly question:

"tell me the first five 80´s songs that you can recall right now"

And the results were very interesting, considering they have diferent ages, thery don´t know each other and they are from diferent parts of the world... there is one thing they have in common: " They love the 80´s.
