Thanks to all for participating , voting and discussing some of the tunes of the 80's.

If there is interest... in a week or two I can start up another Retro Song Survivor . Would you like to do another round of 80's tunes or should we dive into another decade like the 70's or 90's ? Any particular songs or artists you'd like to see put up to the test?

Thanks!

Good job!! that was fun, although I can't believe Wishing Well won!!!


I would do another group of 80's songs and then at the end, do all the winners survivor style and pick the ultimate 80's track.


a couple of suggestions for key 80's songs:

every breath you take - the police
sweet dreams are made of this - eurythmics
don't you want me -human league
hungry like the wolf - duran duran

Wishing Well should not have won. Unfortunately, a lot of orgers are too anti-Michael to vote for Billie Jean even though it's a much better representative of the 80s.

No more 80s songs, it was fun, but we already have a great winner Wishing Well . Why would we have voted anyway if we don't accept the results

BTW, I even counted 21 votes for Wishing Well

So the in my own Wishing Well worked fine alright

HUH not representing the 80's? Common! It went numba 1 all over this Globe so at least a "few" people back then loved it! Heck I still do.

Love

Idiots.

Party Time I will do this in honor of two beautiful souls... tonight!

You know who you two are...

It beat out Billie Jean!

Ridiculous. That song didn't transcend the decade, like many others on the list did. It was a moderately good pop song, nothing more.

It's a brilliant song:

Wishing Well (A Tone Poem)

Kissing like a bandit
Stealing time
Underneath a sycamore tree
Cupid by the hour sends
Valentines
To my sweet lover and me
Slowly
But surely
Your appetite is more than I knew
Sweetly
Softly
I'm falling in love with you

Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers

Hugging like a monkey see
Monkey do
Right beside a riverboat gambler
Erotic images float through my head
So I wanna be
Your midnight rambler
Quickly
Quickly
The blood races through my veins
Quickly
Loudly
I wanna hear those sugar bells ring

Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me love a wishing well
To kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile cheers

yeah yeah sycamore tree

what a joke did y'all vote in Arnold as governor too?
