80s Rumors

I’ve heard Teen Millionaire’s birth was the only flash of inspiration for Eurythmics’ hardly beautiful tune “Who’s That Girl”. They kicked this track in 1983 some months after Teens birth, wondering what an unutterable impressive baby she was. Eurythmics is still on fire today, released Boxed in 2005, even they lost their special feeling of bygone days. My mother bothered me a long time of my youth with it, but I fortunately crowded it, until it was a track in The Simpsons “Smart and Smarter”.

In the same year Milli ran away from home, cause her daddy kicked her out the house, lingered through dirty streets, took any subway and interurban-bus she could catch, playbacked on any crowded place, hung around in smoky clubs with beefy oily hustlers, danced with dubious figures, wrote letters to her brother, saved ladies of the rough club-boss, had the best extemporaneous choreography of her life to awe and convert all the bad men to soft freemen, just to realize, that dancing in the streets at the crack of dawn is the best you can do and sleeping in a bus with an experience like that seems to be the most precious thing on earth. You are familiar with that story? Yes, of course, Pat Benatar wrote a song about!

A friend told me about this track back in 1998, when Frankie Knuckles was already 43 gleaming yrs old. He said Frankie ran into a burning building in 1984 to save seven kids and 4 cats, ran inside the house again, but was that bored, because of no one was inside anymore, so he sat down on a 487 degrees hot armchair to write that song, he produced years later together with Jamie Principal. “Waiting on my Angel” slided into my spine forever!

Did you know the American space agency NASA was in a huge crunch before 1984? Yes really, their get up and go has got up and went because of rocket-envy! So the administration needed to act and asked Dead Or Alive to give a little initial aid! Nobody knows what would happen if this new-wave band would’nt have created “You Spin Me Round”! Anyway, the NASA is on top again and every astronaut needs to know the text of this track by heart. Thanks Dead Or Alive.
