Wow, I am on a major '80's kick right now. Now quite sure what inspired it, but it's bringing on some major nostalgia!

Remember that song "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield? That song is special to me because I heard it for the first time at an academic camp the summer after my junior year of high school. My roommate, Anthea, who was a major '80's lover (I'm talkin' extreme), started blaring this song through her speakers. I thought it was all kinds of awesome, as did everyone on our floor, and we started an impromptu dance party in our room! Our RA, who just happened to be name Jessie, joined right in. At the end of the camp, we all got shirts that said Jessie's Girl, in honor of our RA and the song.

I still have that shirt.

Right now, I'm going crazy over Hall and Oates. I hadn't even heard of the group until I popped by Border's today and heard "I Can't Go For That". Of course, I didn't know who the artist was at the time, but I caught nyself humming it over and over and had to look up the lyrics. To my surprise, it was by a group I'd never heard of before. Not that I know every group, lol, but that's a pretty famous song! I thought that I would at least have had a clue!

That's not the only cool song they've done, though! I discovered that they also sang "Sara Smile", "Kiss On My List", "Private Eyes", and "One on One"! Here are my favorites, links courtesy of Youtube:






So good, right?!!!!!!

Feel free to let me know some of your favorite '80's groups!!!!
