Semi !! Only semi ?

haha! I don't know if I can say on here, there are some semi-prudes around, but lets just say, it's a GREAT karaoke song and it's by the Divinyls... :P

Re: favorite songs from the 80s.....

For me, it's all bands (and mostly new wave - eek). Too Much Joy, Psychic TV, Icehouse, Aha, Peter Murphy, Talk Talk, Howard Jones, Bob Mould, Hothouse Flowers, The Sundays, Cocteau Twins....I could go on and on.

I luckily found a viral online radio link that lets you build your own station using "seed" songs. You pick a song, and they add other songs with similar attributes which you give thumbs up or down. It slowly builds an entire station based on your exact musical preferences. God bless the internet.
