If the Village People can have a comeback. Maybe it's time for D.A.F.'s "Der Muskolini" to shine

"Geh' in die Knie
Und klatsch' in die Hände
Beweg' deine Hüften
Und tanz' den Muskolini
Tanz' den Muskolini
Tanz' den Muskolini

Dreh' dich nach rechts
Und klatsch' in die Hände
Und mach' den Adolf Hitler
Tanz' den Adolf Hitler
Tanz' den Adolf Hitler
Tanz' den Adolf Hitler
Und jetzt den Muskolini

... usw."

When I realized that I had learned all my Eighties and Nineties dance moves from watching The Three Stooges in reruns when I was a younger ...

In 1984, Ban Aid released Do They Know It's Christmas, and to this day, it is in my rather short Christmas playlist. I'm always blown away by Boy George's vocals. So smooth and soulful. I just looked up the video to get my fix of 80s nostalgia, and it turns out Live Aid produced a 4K update of the original video. It looks fabulous.

Goddamn, we were so young.

(Look down in the video comments. Somebody went to the trouble of posting a who's-who list complete with timestamps! I love the internet!)

Like a greatest hits collection of my least liked songs of #the80s ... I gave a silent moan every time they brought up a new song. Still as a music fan it's interesting to hear the genesis of some of these tracks. I just called it #FratRock

Need something to keep your mind off the days insanity? Just wanting to avoid everything? Well sit and watch this super early Tim Burton movie.

TIL the first ever use of the word "condom" on American prime time TV was an episode of the sitcom Valerie (later The Hogan Family), in 1987.

And a station in Albany dropped the show for it!

I'm not sure if Jason Bateman's character went through with the sex or not.

"New Jill Swing" - appreciation for En Vogue, SWV, Tara Kemp, Ex Girlfriend, The Good Girls, Xscape et al. The music industry was less friendly to them than to Bobby Brown, Kid 'n Play, and Blackstreet.

I love the late '80s-early '90s era in R&B. So creative and fun, even while hip hop and movies were focusing on the (very real) issues of gangs, drugs, and incarceration.

Anyone out there remember this classic from the 1980s by British Poet, Singer, Songwriter Anne Clark?

In a beer gut belly
In a open fly
Brilcremed, acrylic, mindless boys
Punching, kicking, making noise

From the cradle to the city streets
They spill out their aggression
By punching what they don't understand
And stopping all forms of expression

Teaching each other to be men
By spewing in the street
Well now I know just what to do
To make my man complete !

Against the power of their misguidance
We must learn to fight
To be just what we want to be
Morning, noon and night

Night is for the hunters
And the hunted are you and me
Hunted for just having
Some from of identity

Night is for the hunters
And the hunted are you and me
Hunted for just having
Some individuality .
