Was finishing up the Xmas shopping and my pen ran out of ink, went into the Chinese bargain/hardware/$2 shop and all they had were these little beauties, combined Torch, Laser, and Ballpoint pen, and the torch/laser are super powerful, don't know how long until battery runs out but for $2.50, bargain, bought 2

Tip. If it runs out of ink don't look down the barrel and switch it on

Pick Your Shit Song of the Decade.
Round 1-The 1980's

Should be a tough competition. The most even we've seen for a while...

I'll see your Huey Lewis and the News and I'll raise you Katrina and the Waves. I couldn't stand this shit song back in the 80's and still hate it.

Dude, you've got weird taste - Katrina's awesome. One of the best songs of the 80's, IMO.

It's interesting. It's pretty monotonous but, at the same time, a 'dance classic'. Around the time my current wife and I got married (12 years ago) we went out on a wine/food/dance cruise on the Swan River and I remember talking to the DJ who said it was the just about the top song for bringing people (of all ages) on to the dance floor. I think, based on that recommendation we may have played it at our wedding.

Fast forward to last month, at my son's wedding. He and his now wife had asked for people to send through song requests with RSVPs. His DJ said, "Yeah, we could do that, or you could ensure people have a good time." Nekminnit... Katrina and the Waves. Guests were walkin' on sunshine.

In any case, Tony Basil knocks Katrina out of the park with Mickey. Who, in my humble opinion, is NOT so fine.

Lol i'll see ur Katrina and Gaso's Heuy Lewis and raise u anything that came out of Rick Ashley's mouth..

Yeah, Rick's gonna be hard to beat.

Aga Do by Black Lace put music back 10 years.

Ooops, he already has been.

We Didn't Start The Fire was the 90s, right? Because that is truly the apotheosis of shit songs, forming a nexus of multidimensional awfulness from uninspired "melody" to dull arrangement to self-aggrandizing banality to simply being Billy ******* Joel.

Billy Joel was so ubiquitous in the 80's that I began to hate anything by him with a vengeance. The song that brought me to boiling point was Pressure. Yep, high blood pressure. So, I just had a listen to it a moment ago, to ask myself 'Was I being unreasonable? Do I like it in retrospect, or the passing of time?' Nope. Abysmal piece of crap. It gets my nomination.

"We didn't start the fire" I don't remember hearing until 1990 (linked to some good memories), but that doesn't mean anything. Actually released Sept '89.

I'm not sure if we can nominate Milli Vanilli or not?!

I notice relevant websites that have wasted time like we have on this subject have 'Rock Me Amadeus' by Falco. Surely on the dias along with Starship and Black Lace. I accept Billy Joel's Pressure is an outsider, however much it may be my personal number 1.

How can you plagiarise something so great (REM "It's The End Of the World As We Know It") and produce something so mind-bogglingly shit?
Answer: Billy Joel

 

[Samsquanch]

I mean obviously We Built This City is the worst song of the 80s. Don Henley gave it a run with pretty much anything he released but a special shout out to Dirty Laundry for extra self indulgent shitness.

And Bryan Adams

 

[Samsquanch]

I wouldn't mind being given a box of those ... umm. chocolates in the gold wrapping.. can't think .. oh yes, Ferrero

Salty chocolate balls?

 

[SpiderBurton22]

****, just realised there's a BBL double header on. Missed Sangakara bat, been sitting on my arse doing nothing for the last hour.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Also a big F U to holiday traffic. Was hoping to knock off early today but got a job in Apollo Bay at lunch . What normally is a 1 hr 50 drive home took 2 hr 30. Stupid tourists doing 40-50kms on the Great Ocean Road and not using the slow vehicle lanes. At one stage I was car 24 in the convoy.

Well nothing said tonight so maybe I got it before it went through to her email.

And then has just told me that 'I don't want anything else because I bought that expensive perfume that you can give me.'

Grumpy Old Christmas to you Chuggsy.

Hot....damn hot !

Billy Joel...Innocent Man...the single...shite.

Though I don't mind Allentown because that's been the Western world since 1980.

Pefume never fails. Just spent $130 today for a bottle. Her favourite apparently. It would want to smell good. I usually rotate between perfume and spa vouchers. Little thought required and done in 10 minutes.

But the question is what is this video about, esp the last 3 mins?

Neck and neck with B Joel for Worst Artist. Still no single song as shit as WDStF.

Also I just remembered Wham Rap was a thing.
