always something there to remind me
I unearthed a few "old school" mix tapes the other day while looking for something in the attic. That's right - TAPES. As in, you-can-hear-all-the-analog-static-in-the-background tapes, and oh-my-goodness-you-have-to-turn-it-over-to-hear-side-2 tapes. I was quite the mixmaster in high school and college apparently.
But I digress. I have had the *best* time listening to these golden oldies during the past week, especially at work while we assembled desks and moved file cabinets. What I have noticed, though, is how utterly ridiculous lyrics were in the 80s. (as if they are so magical now... not.) And... how infused with sexuality the lyrics were. Wow. Specifically, the following songs made me take notice this morning:
Master and Servant (Depeche Mode)
I Want Your Sex (George Michael)
I'm Looking for a New Love (Jodi Watley)
Relax (Frankie Goes to Hollywood)
She Bop (Cyndi Lauper)
Just a Gigilo (David Lee Roth)
Private Dancer (Tina Turner)
Boom Boom Boom (Paul Lekakis)
How sex-crazed were we that we loved these songs and sang them all the time?? Wow.
So, I have "Boom Boom Boom" stuck in my head now. Sigh. I guess we know what I want for my birthday...
A new 80s compilation!!
Hey! What were you thinking I want? He he.

I just put a buttload of Depeche Mode in my iTunes and am sharing it with my co-workers. We rock out.
