I'm a simple girl, I see a classic rock band on MTV and I squeal
#it's so rare for them to play pre 80s stuff and when they do it's only the super famous ones like abba or the beatles or the rolling stones#and during the 80s/90s specials it's mostly the bands' biggest hits but they never even show cherry pie or something#the who's my generation today was a near miracle lmao i only saw an 'oldies' special one night but i didn't catch a lot of it bc it was 2am#anyway why are all their rock specials mostly new stuff or top 10 dad rock radio eye roll playlist everyone knows#mel talks

making a special spaceship playlist because i am now in the deep end
#i disagree with the idea of benny listening to super hyper poppy songs#that man would listen to SO many 80’s songs#( and a bit of hyper songs — )#weridly emmet and benny’s music taste are pretty similar#it’s just 80’s songs with a couple silly ones thrown in there#like spongebob songs#and kitchen gun#and just top 40 hits

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 229/?
Bobbie Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe (1967)
"And Papa said to Mama, as he passed around the black-eyed peas:
'Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense; pass the biscuits, please.
There's five more acres in the lower forty I got to plow'
And Mama said it was a shame about Billie Joe, anyhow.
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billie Joe McAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
[...]
"Mama said to me, 'Child, what's happened to your appetite?
I've been cookin' all morning, and you haven't touched a single bite.
That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today
Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday - oh, by the way
He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge
And she and Billie Joe was throwin' something off the Tallahatchie Bridge'"
#favourite lyrics#bobbie gentry#ode to billie joe#1967#jimmie haskell#ode to billy joe#<- as this fairly regularly gets styled‚ tho Billie is correct and the spelling that appeared on the label originally#i overuse the term but i really think it's unavoidable here: this song is an absolute masterpiece of narrative songwriting#Gentry's ambition had only really been to work as a lyricist; she recorded this as part of her first demo‚ singing the songs herself#because it was cheaper than hiring a singer for the sessions. the demo grabbed the attention of Kelly Gordon at Capitol‚ who signed Gentry#and got to work producing her first album. the centre point of the album‚ and her first single‚ was to be Mississippi Delta; there wasn't#much interest in the Southern gothic tinged tale of secrets and 'unconscious cruelty' (as Gentry dubbed it) of Ode‚ and it was regarded#with little interest by Gordon (when arranger Haskell asked him what instruments he should add to Gentry's stripped down vocal and guitar l#the producer replied curtly that it didn't matter because nobody would ever hear it). Ode was assigned as b side to Mississippi Delta as#almost an afterthought‚ but this was the era in which US radio djs frequently chose which side of a single they wanted to play and the#unanimous decision was Ode; here was something special‚ a dark and tantalising mystery of a song obscured by the humdrum idle conversation#of an unthinking family. it ignited a kind of obsessive curiosity among listeners‚ desperate to find out what exactly the unnamed singer#and Billie Joe were throwing off the bridge‚ why did Billie Joe take his own life‚ why do the singer's gamily clearly not know about#their obvious relationship? Gentry‚ for her own part‚ resisted all attempts to glean further information about the actions of her song's#protagonist. she rightly tried to steer interested parties back towards what is arguably the real horror of the song‚ that unconscious#cruelty; a family that can eat and chatter and squabble even as they discuss the suicide of a boy they've known all their lives‚ even as#the clearly affected girlfriend of the boy (their own sister and daughter) sits in dumbstruck silence‚ unable to articulate her feelings#the original cut of the song ran more than 7 minutes and had to be mercilessly hacked down to fit a 45 single suitable length. no one had#expected much of anything from the song but it was to catapult Gentry to almost instant stardom; the forthcoming album was retitled after#the song that was now its focus; Ode went on to top the Billboard Hot 100‚ won a clutch of grammys and ended up selling more than 3 million#copies worldwide. Gentry had captured the imagination of a nation and beyond‚ but her success was tempered by legal challenges (from#producers demanding greater royalties) and a general dissatisfaction with her newfound stardom: it would last a little more than a decade#and include her own tv shows‚ more awards and smash hit singles; then just as suddenly as she'd shot to fame‚ Bobbie retreated from it#retiring from both the business and from public life. she hasn't made a public appearance since the early 80s‚ nor does she grant interview#but so what? if she's happy? i hope she's happy. she left us enough great music to enjoy. let her have her peace and quiet

The biggest lie my parents ever told me was that 80s hit songs were bad
My Sharona is a solid 10/10, Old Time Rock And Roll??? Absolute banger. Hit Me With Your Best Shot is literally in my top 25 favorite songs. Don't even get me started on 80s movies. Let's just say I know every word to the Top Gun 1986 soundtrack.

talked it out and realised it wouldn’t be fair to adopt earl or any pet until after december bc i have to do the radioactive iodine and have work and classes before that. and it’s the right decision to wait but that also means that i’m coming home from ultrasounds and radiation consultations to no one. i come home after classes and work to no one. and i’ll handle it and my mum did agree it would be a good idea for me to get an esa and we also both agreed it’s best to wait. but it’s all just hard
#it’s not the worst thing in the world and I’ll be fine#I’m just horrifically burnt out and stressed and everything is just piling on top of each other and i don’t get a break#and I’m so tired. I’m so so tired#and my mum pointed out i’m working towards something and it’s just going to be a hard rest of the year#but it’s like all the emotions are hitting me at once and i just want to stay in bed about it#and i have a lab practical and the american chemist’s exam in two days and i failed my last test after getting two 80s for the first two#and i just want a break. i just want to take a breath and not feel like it’s taking time away from studying#vent tw

does anyone just remember debbie harry's vocal range and are just gobsmacked
#it is incredibly hard for me to wrap my head around the fact she sang one way or another; sunday girl; AND heart of glass#god shes so talented#im a poor singer and ive been trying to figure out where my range is and my limits#i can do one way or another alright. the way debbie hits high and delicate if she wants is just insane. to me#her and kate bush fr had such stellar ranges. easily top singers of the 70s-80s

Yesterday during Pre-FYP pitch:
#asuka speaks#im sorry guys but i just want to tell you guys the critique went well i just need to fix just a tiny little thing in my slides#anyway my lect is happy because it seems that I know very well about my topic and relieved that she doesnt need to worry about me#also im just really happy i get to tell her about some of the cool ads related to smoking like omg im cryingjrkrnem 😭😭😭#like you guys dont get it this is the first time Im able to nerd out about it and tell her about the ads I stumbled on and have a really-#meaningful discussion about it wagsjshqkial 😭😭😭#when i said I love psa and ads in general i actually mean I actively seeking out these things on a weekly to daily basis#and sometimes i put it on when i do work lol#yes there's actually compilation of it on youtube lol they even categorised it based on topics#i personally like the british/europeans one i just feel the message were so hard hitting sometimes#but i also love the old anti drug ads from the 80s-90s because of nostalgia lol#i know this seems probably weird but like lmao if anyone ever give me a chance to ask me which top 3 i like#i would give like 10 instead hsksksksk#anyway the fyp topic i picked were about smoking since my trip to the hospital and also my personal observation made me realised-#the initiative the moh are doing for anti smoking awareness is just so outdated lol#i dont despise smoking lol dont worry i just find that whatever the moh is doing isnt working for this era anymore#so i thought it would be neat to incorporate both art and psa because psas aren't suppose to be boring#and that's what consensus thought it is#sorry jdjidjslaoqlql im just nerding out here aldjdkalalql i just want to tell you guys what happened yesterday

Release: February 5, 1990
Lyrics:
Once is never enough
Never is never was
Here and now is all that counts
Here and now in large amounts
Be beautiful but shut up
The going can be real tough
You can keep your fancy bars
Clubby friends and fast cars
And when the going gets hard
You can eat your credit cards
I really tried to fight it
But what the hell I like it
There is always room at the top
Don't let them tell you there is not
Made in England born and bred
An eighteenth century brain
In a twenty-first century head
Room at the top - so eighteenth century
Room at the top - so eighteenth century
Room at the top
There's always room
Songwriter:
If some of this fits you
Or like the things that you might do
It's the pleasure and the pain
That makes us do it all again
They say
Be beautiful and shut up
The going can be real tough
Adam Ant / Marco Pirroni / Andre Cymone

pov: your dentist office is playing careless whisper over the sound system
#you were convinced they were playing your playlist#then the dentist said it was the top hits of the 80s#and you're like#yup#that checks out#dentist#careless whisper#it's that meme song about love for anyone wondering#and i think it's really funny that they're playing it#it's actually a banger#it's so good#also iconic#music#80s music

i like to think that in any possible au douwata look like a fucking it couple. like from afar you see this really tall model-looking person in pretty expensive met gala looking clothes and this even taller guy with a goofy meme shirt that somehow looks extremely fashionable in it on account of being really good looking and then you walk a bit closer and accidentally overhear them fighting about which toppings do or do not belong on pizza and the pretty one suddenly yells 'I'M GOING TO FILE FOR A DIVORCE AND I'M TAKING THE CAT. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO PACK LEFTOVER CROQUEMBOUCHE IN YOUR BENTO TOMORROW OR WOULD YOU PREFER CHOCOLATE FONDUE' like???
#obsessed with gap moe and theyre the most gap moe ever#🐣🏹posting#douwata#im so used to calling them 🐣🏹 now gnrrjdjdjd#i believe in met gala y2k silky crop tops and thrifted expensive kimono and designer jeans watanuki im right im right im rIGJT#my hc for shizuka is he wears a lot of monochrome colour and sometimes neutrals#lots of simple haori and checkerboard patterns and garfield shirts and laid back 80s jeans and shit#the chapter in the manga where his yukata was literally just big chunky check print was so slayful i cant get out of my head#hiro would be extremely embarassed by his disgusting plain tshirt from tesco era#shizu would be like. half effortlessly fun and chill laid back styles half kinda more traditional and classic stuff#it couple but as soon as they open their mouths you are hit with psychic damage#and then they start making out idk#gay people things#not implying shizuka isnt pretty
