You were born in 1984 then.
You've never heard 99 Red Balloons?

She was a one hit wonder, nice song with hairy armpits (she was/is German

)

Hast Du etwas Zeit für mich,
Dann sing ich Dir ein Liebelied,
Von Neunundneunzig Luftballons,
Auf Ihrem Weg zum Horizont.

Nena IS German. Still living, man! She dubbed the witch for the German language version of "Spirited Away".

UK - "Mighty Quinn" by Manfred Mann

Good lord, I'm old.

US - "Love is Blue" by Paul Mauriat. Hmm, not too exciting, but perhaps appropriate that it was a hit by a man who composed some film scores and whose songs were included in countless film soundtracks.

I like Mighty Quinn

UK: Xanadu - Olivia Newton-John & The Electric Light Orchestra
US: It’s Still Rock And Roll To Me - Billy Joel

Dear, oh dear...

Apparently, Xanadu was the very first song I ever danced to when I was a baby. I had to hold onto a chair, but my ickle legs moved. I bet I was cute.

Nothing wrong with Billy Joel. Talented singer-songwriter.

So Mark, does Oliva Newton John still put the boogie in you?

I'll bet it was darn cute. I'll always remember my oldest dancing to Sheryl Crowe as a baby. *sniff*

Didn't have camcorders back when I was a tot. Kids today are so lucky they can see themselves on film. All we have are vague memories. Shit, I'm getting misty eyed.

Oliva was a nice-looking woman, but a bit old for me at the time.

These days I try not to dance to Xanadu. Though when it comes on... I do feel my legs twitch. 8)
