Examples of 80's in 80's song lyrics?

Apr 03, 2006 19:49

Hi there! I'm looking for any 80's song that mentions any year or set of years from the 80's in the lyrics. Anything counts -- eighties, 1984, '86, whatever. Any mention of a year from the 80's, in any (audible) form, is fair game. I'm making a new promo for our 80's radio show, and I want it to be a collage of "80's" (obvious, I know, but we really need a new promo -- the old one is getting pretty stale). Here's what I already have in GarageBand ready to be sampled and mixed:

"Eighties" - Killing Joke
"New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)" - Simple Minds
"California Uber Alles" - Dead Kennedys
"Lost In The 80's" - Steel Breeze

I know Marillion has a line about "hitting the streets in '82" in "White Feather" (from Misplaced Childhood), but it's kind of hard to hear, so I'm not using that one. Also, there's the classic line of Asia's -- "And now you find yourself in '82, the disco hotspots hold no charm for you" -- but I am embarrassed to admit I don't own that song. I will probably snag it through iTunes.

Any others? I'd love to hear what you can come up with. I don't need mp3's of songs -- just titles and artists (although if do you post mp3's, I won't complain!). Some of them I will probably already have; others I can buy.

Thank you!
