Hi met Jon Lord in a Motorway service station on the M4, he was driving the Ferrari in the film. It was circa 1980, I was dressed as a Roundhead having been at a 17th Century reenactment battle. I stood behind in in the queue at the kiosk. he paid paid looked at me, laughed said I thought you was Nucking Ritchie!!
Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Told you I would be shamed…
Im 52 and have 3 kids in 20’s all driven mad being brought up with real 80’s music in the house in the car so much that they still listen to it all even now so my job is done haha.
The HS version I think is a solid crack at it with decent musicians and its great that they the yoof love the track enough to pay homage.
I'm a bit older than you and my kids are in their 20s, too, and they love '80s music as well.
My daughter and I used to go to a lot of gigs together (80s bands and modern ones), but she still reckons 80s music is the best and my son seems to listen to nothing else!
I'll forgive you this one

Couldn’t be asked to read the whole thread reply’s so don’t know if it been mentioned before but for me best 80s songs are The Smiths I still love them now,
Sold all my lps a few years ago and every smiths 12 inch, my daughter recently brought a record player and also started listening to the smiths, I felt it was my duty as a dad to buy her all the smiths on vinyl
Just been watching this video, took me back and throughly enjoyed it.

^ that is a favourite of mine and I find her enjoyment of singing it even better than Donna Summer. One of the earliest proper electro tunes - 1977
I forgot about this one and can't stop listening to it:

Kirie by Mister Mister.
Very underrated band of the 80s, but I find these songs better than Kyrie:
Can only embed three videos, here is another:

Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
Broken Wings is great, but you don't hear Kirie as much and I recently heard it, after a very long time and couldn't get it out of my head. You know how it is.
