The History Of Pop Part 4 aka Bustin' Makes Me Feel Good!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

So on Now 3 Cyndi Lauper came through a very strong line-up to win it. NOW 4, firmly in mid-late '84, has more songs than before (meaning an even HUGER poll), but to my eyes fewer clear contenders, but there are several intriguing love-it-or-hate-it options too and as every yr forthright views are welcome in the comments box, as are requests for YSIs, real actual YSIs and so on.

This one had the pig on the cover, hurrah.

Moroder and Oakey was the SPECIAL SONG for my first ever crush. I think it was the first time I ever listened to a song with the debilitating habit of paying attention to the lyrics and thinking "WOW that could be ABOUT US".

I can't remember how this one goes, which is bugging me because I probably do like it, in fact on principle it is probably better than U2.

We'll always be together
However far it seems
We'll always be together
Together in electric DREEEEEEEEEEEEEEMS

(sorry, that sounded a bit mean!) (curious, though)

I didnt really care about the electric bit I liked the first verse i.e.

"I only knew you for a while
I never saw you smile
Until it was time, time to go away."

Except a truer verse would actually have been

"I only knew you for about two weeks
And I never spoke to you once
And then the drama group ended."

BAWL!

Oh, you'll always be together...

Bizzarely enough, "Together In Electric Dreams" was the "special" "song" for me and one of my exes as well. She later became a heroin addict.
