'80s Song Tournament Bracket

And I didn't nominate her.

I nominated Cyndi, didn't I?

I don't actually know what the hell I nominated. lol
After getting in the important ones, I just did a quick scroll through of my 80's pop playlist and nominated ones I didn't think anybody had mentioned yet. Though after nominations ended I realized - quite sadly - that nobody nominated anything by Huey Lewis or Robert Palmer. That's just wrong.

I nominated "Some Like It Hot." That's Robert Palmer in a band.

Yeah but I'm talking "Addicted to Love" and "Simply Irresistable." Quintessential 80s.

"Simply Irresistible", yes. "Addicted to Love", eh.

I would have nominated something else, though, like "You Are In My System" or "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On."

Someone should do a '90s song tournament.

Robert Palmer ~ Looking for Clues

You can totally see that penquin's penis at around 2:15-2:20.

1. Sweet Dreams - Eurythmics (but only because that's a horrible version of Rock Me Amadeus. I was going to nominate the original/proper version.)


2. Take My Breath Away - Berlin

3. You Think You're a Man - Divine

4. Safety Dance - Men Without Hats

5. Never Tear Us Apart - INXS

6. End of the World - R.E.M.

7. I Bless the Rains Down in AFFFFFFFFFFFFRICA - Toto (I always thought he was saying "I Miss the Rains Down in Africa")

8. Cyndi Lauper's most famous song

I'd be willing to be in charge of that, once this tournament is finished.

I prefer the Canadian version of "Rock Me Amadeus." It's the one I first heard and grew up on and I just think it sounds more alive and energetic than the other version.
