This is my 80's themed blog about eighties music, eighties fashion, and just everyday in the life of a synthpop loving teen who loves a good side ponytail. And of coarse big curly hair when I have the time ;)

80's songs for Spring/Summer road trips

I know this is early but am so exited for warm weather and it's right around the corner! Why not post my Summer/Spring road trip must haves?

#1 "I'm Afraid Of Me" by Culture Club

This song has such a tropical vibe to it! It just screams SUMMER!!!

#2 "Kokomo" by The Beach Boys

Who can have an 80's summer playlist without Kokomo? What are you crazy? lol!

#3 "Video" by Jeff Lynne

This is from an awesome movie called Electric Dreams!

#4 "Now You're Mine" by Helen Terry

Yes, this is from the Electric Dreams soundtrack too. Helen Terry is the wonderful former Culture Club backing vocalist behind "Church Of The Poison Mind" and many other songs.

#5 "Second Nature" by Dan Hartman

This is a feel good song for an awesome road trip. Dan Hartman was the writer behind "Living In America" by James Brown and is known for his hit "I Can Dream About You" be sure to listen to those as well.

#6 "I'm You're Man" by Wham! 

of coarse I am going to throw in a Wham jam! I am not going to just keep you hanging like a yo-yo! Pun intended!

#7 Bitter Heart by Seona Dancing

I always listen to this while i'm on a trip! This is Ricky Gervias in the early eighties singing lead! He is a great New Wave artist and he created my favorite tv show "The Office" he is one talented man!

#8 Modern Love by David Bowie

Gotta have David on here! This is a very fun song that is a summer essential!

#9 "Love Plus One" by Haircut 100

This a perfect song to just listen to and think of summer!

#10 "Locomotion" by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD)

I love this song! Perfect mixture of New Wave and Calypso!
