THE 80's

The 80's were prominent for a rise in good music. Metal took a stand by then but i'm at this point more intrigued at the more sophisticated and dynamic music which is hard to write, let alone hard to understand.

It is the hilarious sort of music that you would expect to be written by the makers of the basic toilet bowl or the creators of monty python-equally important in all aspects.

For example the music video for one of the famous INXS which got me intertwining my band of of sour liquorice. Get this, a drummer playing with no drums and a guitarist playing a guitar without a guitar.

In conclusion i think one of the best lyrical songs of the 80's is by Prefab Sprout, with their song-The King of Rock 'N' Roll.

And the godly lyrics are on the basis of hotdogs, frogs and Albuquerque.

The choreograph of the dancing is absolutely innovative and remarkably 'serious'. Not to mention a splendid approach to a random theme and.........................................THEIR ENGLISH. Yes, finally an english pop band of the 80's. These are the lyrics:



All my lazy teenage boasts are now high precision ghosts
And they're coming round the track to haunt me.
When she looks at me and laughs I remind her of the facts
I'm the king of rock'n roll completely
Up from suede shoes to my baby blues

Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque

The dream helps you forget you ain't never danced a step
You were never fleet of foot, hippy.
All the pathos you can keep for the children in the street
For the vision I have had is sweeping
- New broom, this room, sweep it clean

Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
High kickin' dandy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;
Long legged candy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;

Now my rhythm ain't so hot, but it's the only friend I've got
I'm the king of rock'n roll completely
All the pretty birds have flown now I'm dancing on my own
I'm the king of rock'n roll completely
- Up from, suede shoes to my baby blues

Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
High kickin' dandy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;
Long legged candy, fine figure fine cut a fine figure fine oh yeah ;
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque
Hot dog, jumping frog, Albuquerque




Watch the video it WILL give you a good laugh and a little brain damage.
