If you could only say one... And why?

For me... It's Tina Turner - The Best.... The lyrics, the best, so iconic. I think it's simply the best 🤣

Together in electric dreams Giorgio Moroder and Philip Oakey.

But I will accept red light spells danger by Billy Ocean as a very close second.

Prince - Kiss. Especially if I can watch the video too.

queenofarles · 17/04/2021 22:27

Cher if I could turn back time. The video is so iconic. her clothes or lack of!

I'm loving this thread. I worked for a few years (early 80's) in a pub that had one of the first video juke-boxes in my city. So many songs mentioned here were on it for at least some of the time. My contender would be Sweet Dreams by The Eurythmics.

oh and Dare Me is a choon!!! Wink

@beanfeast The best ‘pop’ song is obviously ‘Teenage Kicks’ Perfect in every way! Definitely!

Is Prince pop music? I love Purple Rain.

And Electric Dreams.

Gnarls Barkley Crazy

Does anyone have the time to make a MN spotify playlist? . Pp suggested it and it sounds like a good idea.

[quote Mrsmchammer]@Puppylucky I live Pop Musik. Total earworm.

Infact this is a thread of basically my feel good playlist 🤣 Not a song mentioned I don't love. OP we need a Top Ten for sure.

I was nearly swayed by AHa but I'm going to vote The Knack and their iconic tune My Sharona😂[/quote]
Ooh yes, I love pop musik. Total ear worm 😊
