Girl with the guitar says oh yeah

My G song from 1985 (making up for the missing "Frontierland") is "Girl With The Guitar"(*) by Game Theory. Here's a fanmade video, complete with a slide show of girls with guitars.



(*) This song is listed as "Girl With A Guitar" on the BSC cd reissue, which is apparently WRONG!

Faron Young

My F song from 1985 is "Faron Young" by Prefab Sprout.

Welcome to your life

My E song for 1985 is "Egyptian Cream" by Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians, which doesn't have a video on youtube, so I'm falling back to the far more popular "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by Tears For Fears.

And the train conductor says

My D song from 1985 is "Driver 8" by R.E.M.

Come With Me

My C song from 1985 was "Curse of the Frontier Land" by Game Theory, which doesn't have any videos on youtube, so I'm substituting another '85 fave by Translator.



 

Bittersweet

Song #2 from 1985, representing the letter B,
is "Bittersweet" by the Hoodoo Gurus.



Stoneage Romeos or Mars Needs Guitars? I'm just happy to live in a world where I don't need to choose between those two albums!

Anything, Anystring

A new month and a new year. I'm moving my wayback machine twenty years ahead for February. To 1985, the year of Live Aid, Farm Aid, and other Aids. I'm going through all the songs on my "best of 1985" mix, and posting one song per day.

First song, representing the letter A. "Anything, Anything" by Dramarama. The original doesn't have any decent videos on youtube, but here's a nice chamber version by the Vitamin String Quartet.
