These #80s kids have a new 80s kids song coming out Friday!
Just in time to help us kick off summer with joy & sunshine & feel-good vibes. We're so in love with this one, and so excited to share it with you.
We didn't plan it this way, but it just so happens that this classic gay anthem is coming out on the eve of #Pride month; we can't think of anything that would make it sweeter. See you Friday!
(and yes, there are clues hidden within this post 😉 ... any guesses?)
Released in 1987, "Never Can Say Goodbye" is a cover version by British synth-pop duo The Communards. Originally a Motown hit by The Jackson 5, this version topped the UK Singles Chart and became one of the best-selling singles of the year.
GARY NUMAN
The Pleasure Principle
1979 Canada pressing
Once I finished listening to the John Foxx record, I had to put this on.
Gary & John are two artists that are forever entwined for me.
The Pleasure Principle is one of the greatest albums of all time, regardless of genre or era, and NO I did not stutter.
Without Gary (and John as well), it’s hard to imagine a world that has Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, or Depeche Mode.
Just a legendary artist. #vinyl#vinylrecords#synth#newwave#synthpop
Released in 1984, "I Feel Love/Johnny Remember Me" is a medley of covers. It was the band's first UK Top 10 hit and features the iconic vocals of Marc Almond. The track combines Donna Summer's disco anthem with a song written for Marc Almond, resulting in a unique synth-pop sound that captures the energy of the 80s.
This time on One Song Diallo Riddle and LUXXURY not only tackle a song that, arguably, possesses the ultimate accolade: It is Diallo’s favorite song to sing at karaoke. “Head Over Heels” by Tears for Fears is not the British synth pop group’s biggest hit – that would be “Mad World”, “Sowing the Seeds of Love”, or “Shout” – but Diallo makes a strong case for why there’s no better song to belt out at 2am in a karaoke bar. #OneSong#TearsForFears#SynthPop#SynthDuo https://overcast.fm/+BCYuPHQoWk
@lautmaler@Kitty@The_KamikaZEN and yet you could have been born one year later when the whole planet was singing in unison "Tata ta taaaa tatata tatatataaa!"
(The Final Countdown was released in May '86 😅)
