Any ideas?

[prettycorpses]

Ok people, this is for all of you who lived and survived the 80s....I need some ideas....

I am throwing a suprise party for some friends who love the 80s (? :o ?) and I was wondering if anyone out there has any ideas for games, music (I was hoping to download Black Laces Superman but cant find it anywhere...legally of course!)...etc

Its going to be next Friday (31st March) so any ideas before then would be fab :D

Thank You :p

Wham!, Flock Of Seagulls, Depeche Mode, Thomas Dolby, Prince, A-Ha!, Don Henley, After The Fire, Blondie, Falco, Kenny Loggins, Berlin, Kajagoogoo, The Cars, Huey Lewis & The News, Paul Engemann, Yello, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, Tears For Fears, Soft Cell....

There's a bunch of 80s groups. I could go on forever.

[MinionZombie]

Everybody should dress up like they're in "Scarface", that'd be awesome.

"Annnd I raaaan, I ran so faaaarrr awaaaaay, and I ruuuuun, I run all night and daaaaaay, I couldn't get away!" ... couldn't resist it, such an awesome track!

Ah, now I really fancy playing some Vice City...

[KrasnyOktyabr]

John Mellencamp, Night Ranger, Billy Idol, Tom Petty, Megadeth, Pat Benatar, REM, Stevie Nicks, Foreigner, Journey, fun stuff like that.

I have a TERRIBLE 80's song called "Shiny Shiny" by Hazey Fantazy - It's a little hard to find, but, I could email it to you.

[KrasnyOktyabr]

Pseudo Echo- Light in His Eyes from Friday the 13th Part V, or I've got a copy of Darkest Side of the Night which was made for Part VIII, another very 80's song.

And though they've spanned multiple decades, Iron Maiden had great stuff in the 80's.

Iron Maiden is one of the BEST Rock and Roll groups of ALL time.

Didn't Mike and the Mechanics do "Take These Broken Wings"?
My friends and I do "Dead Man's Party" as part of our set on Saturday at Harlings. ( A bar in Kansas City - open mic day) horns and all.


Great list.

Men at work, Berlin, Devo, Cindy Lauper, Madonna, Judas Priest, level 42, Andy Gibb, Bee Gees, big poofy hair, shoulder pads, leg warmers, long shirts worn with a belt. loud eyeshadow, all was big in the 80's. I was born in 1969 and was a teen in the 80's Hell I had an afro hair doo in the early 80's

Make everyone tight roll their stone wash Jordache jeans.

[KrasnyOktyabr]

Iron Maiden is one of the BEST Rock and Roll groups of ALL time.

We agree on something. :p

[axlish]

Scorpions - "Rock You Like a Hurricane"

This song almost makes me want to change my stance on censorship. :clown:

If it is going to be an 80's party worth its salt, then Everybody Must Wang Chung Tonight!

[AcesandEights]

Make everyone tight roll their stone wash Jordache jeans.

I so tried to forget that little fashion episode ever happened.

As a matter of fact, dressing up as 80's characters is not a bad idea. You could dress as one of the California Raisins or something and play Jenga!:rolleyes:

[DjfunkmasterG]

DAMN, this thread was resurrected from the DEAD.

In a manner of speaking.

Hahahaha...

How about Michael Jackson? Breakout the red leather and glitter glove!

Hey, the California Raisins were awesome. I had about 5 of those figurines.

[DjfunkmasterG]

Hey, the California Raisins were awesome. I had about 5 of those figurines.


And I heard it through the GRAPEVINE!

[Bub666]

I had 2 or 3 of the figurines.

I am, and always will be, an 80's girl (NOT for the clothes, and it scares me that some of the trends have resurfaced which shouldn't have ever again). The music was awesome, the concerts incredible, the tv shows and movies great. You know how hearing a song can bring you back to a moment in time? I find that 80's music does that the most for me. They just don't make music like that much anymore. *Sigh* They were some good times.... :p
