More songs I never thought I'd hear again

Music videos I never thought I'd have to see again before working in a fitness center, that I am now forced to reckon with on a regular basis:

  • The Romantics - Talkin' in Your Sleep, entertaining, but stabbity.
  • Paula Abdul - Forever Your Girl, I can't bring myself to link this one.
  • Hall & Oates - Private Eyes, check out the 'stache on Oates.
  • Survivor - Eye of the Tiger, from the walking-while-singing school of music video production.
  • En Vogue - Free Your Mind, I can't make myself link to this video, I simply can't.
  • Toni Basil - Mickey, what I just said about the Free Your Mind video x 12.
  • The Go-Gos - Vacation, nope, not going to link to this one either.
  • David Bowie & Mick Jagger - Dancin' in the Streets, I find this one particularly stab inducing.


Music videos I see on a regular basis at work that are awesome, either in their own right or in the context of being played in a fitness center:

September 3rd - more lists

Songs I never wanted to hear again that are played on a regular basis at work:

1. Urban Dance Squad, "A Deeper Shade of Soul", 1989, from the album Mental Floss for the Planet
2. Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney "Say, say, say", 1982, from the album The Pipes of Peace
3. Dead or Alive "My Heart Goes Bang", 1985, from the album Youthquake
4. Phil Collins, "That's All", possibly from 1985's release No Jacket Required, but I really can't be bothered to do the research
5. Murray Head, "One Night in Bangkok", 1984, from the album Chess
6. Toto, "Africa", 1982, from the album Toto IV
7. Van Halen, "Dreams", 1986, from the album 5150
8. John Parr, "Man in Motion (St. Elmo's Fire)", 1985, which, shockingly, does not appear on any John Parr albums
9. Kenny Loggins, "Footloose", 1984, appears on the album of the same name

I really need to start bringing headphones to work.
