In maths I would really like an A (I scraped a C last year) but I highly doubt I will tbh, Chem and Bio will hopefully be a B

Afternoon!! Thought I'd try and make a more 'successful' thread (seeing as the other one pretty much died)
Just wondering what everyone's favourite cheesy 80s song is (well doesn't have to be cheesy - like 80s pop?!)

I think I would have to go either;

Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bhg8D8MVYxQ

or

Wham! - Young Guns (Go For It!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNX3xA3wx5c


I shall tag some of you to get the thread going :tongue:

Spoiler



Hello :smile: I don't know if you'll class them as 'cheesy', but they're the kind of songs that people tend to sing on karaoke and do wacky dancing to?!?!?!?!

Culture Club - Karma Chameleon
Wham - Wake me up before you go, go

I quite like them actually, but they tend to be the ones where, when they come on at discos and parties people are like 'Oh God' #FacePalm :dance:

Well I accepted at Portsmouth (long story short - I picked the wrong course and then went through Extra) Aww okay then - I hope you feel better soon! (and don't forget the essay!!)
Ummm, mainly Top of the Pops and looking through my parents old CDs and that.... most of it I discovered by myself! Its kind od a hobby I suppose! (I also like 70s disco :tongue: )

That was so cool! Sounds a lot like Billy Idol. He could pass as him if you watched it from a distance! :tongue:

Hello! :smile: They are kind of cheesy (but I actually like them regardless!) I know what you mean, I love 80s music and when I request Wham everyone just groans at me :lol:

Haha I was hoping you would like it! I was surprised how similar he sounded to the real thing!! :tongue: There is one of Marti Pellow (that isn't on YouTube) and my physics teacher get annoyed when I said he looked like the guy who was pretending to be him!!

Oh my word.... I will pay you £50 to do that!! (honest) But which song?!?!?! (the wacky/cool hair is compulsory)
