Weekly Mix # 65

the 80s were a hell of a party so we'll start this mix there and who lasted from that time and who was influenced by the decade. The eighties are the new fifties which is weird if you remember the 80s because the 80s were artificially forced to be that way. Reaganomics and Galm Metal went very well together. Big hair forever!

1. I'm Alright by Kenny Loggins
Caddy Shack, baby! All I can think about is Rodney Dangerfield and that gopher dancing; it's a good thing. Next stop, Foot Loose and Top Gun.
2. Jack & Diane by John Mellencamp

Back when he was John Cougar, back when you suck on a chili dog by a Tastee Freeze and day dream, back in the 80s.

3. Goin' Out Swingin' by Mötley Crüe

Not bad rock for dudes as old as they are

4. Gypsy Road by Cinderella

I remember when this song was on massive play on the Mtv in 1988, back when metal was king!

5. Dressed Up Like A Millionaire by Damone

Rock n' Roll in the late 00s rarely gets a wicked as this, leave it to a Boston Band to make it happen.

6. Standing Still by Billy Boy Poison

I like this song because it has a siren in the intro beneath the guitars. These guys do give rock a try pretty hard, they  just miss the mark for some reason.

7. The Infanta by The Demberists

The Decemberists would have been better of being an 80s band when people would have cared.

8. Cold by Maxwell

Yeah, I like R&B sometimes, This is damn good track by the Man.

9. Let's Stay Together by Al Green

Hot music about monogamy, one of the best songs ever

10.Fuck You by Lily Allen

Funny songs are good and when the rhymes and melody click they're brilliant.

11.No You Girls by Franz Ferdinand
So . . . are they gay? Another catchy ditty by the UK boys.
12.They Say by Scars on Broadway

Some of the guys from System of a Down branched out and did a song that sounds exactly like System of a Down.

13.Sickman by Alice In Chains
Sad songs about girls are one thing but sad songs about drugs are a completely different beast. Exhibit A
14.Under The Bridge by The Red Hot Chili Peppers

Exhibit  B

15.Drag by Placebo

No, not a song about dressing in women's clothes.

16.Heads Will Roll by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Keyboards dominate on this one as the Hipsters get dancing.

17.Lovegame by Lady Gaga

Keep the dance vibe going. I hate this song the longer I know it.

18.Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cindy Lauper

Art School chick gets kicked out of School and turns singer and makes millions of dollars. Influences  thousands of chicks to dress from thrift stores.

19.Fuck the Pain Away by Peaches

That was the most brilliant moment in every mix I've made in my life. You figure it out.

20.With a Little Help From My Friends by Joe Cocker
It's strange when you can do a Beatles song better than the Beatles by Mr. Cocker  got it done.
