No innuendo in this song or video at all. No sir, nothing to see here, please move along.

Tavares, Frank Sinatra, JIm Diamond. This is not the 1985 I remember.

I have to apologise to @mrgawrjuhs. This is not the dancey cheesey camp 80s pop I promised him.

Two drumkits! Two drummers! Now who's loud, Mr Loaf?

This is in my opinion Kate Bush's finest song.

It's a bit misplaced for a mid-80s edition , but Tavares are still first class disco/soul.

Dear BBC Four announcer, how do you say "Top of the Pops evening takeover is only halfway through" when "Whoaaa, we're halfway there" was available.

Slightly concerned this Simply Red song is starting to grow on me through sheer repetition

@teahands Can you suffer from Stockholm Syndrome for a song?

Even Meat Loaf's doing something downbeat. Although Steinman downbeat is raucous stadium rock for most other people.

I don't think Nicky Campbell hung around with enough tattooed ruffians in his youth, or he'd have known that HATE is supposed to be on the right hand knuckles (for punching) and LOVE on the left hand (for, err, not punching).

Unless you're left-handed, I suppose.

Blimey! These shows are hard work tonight, aren’t they?

I want something camp to get up and dance to!

@mrgawrjuhs We've got two from the mid-80s coming up shortly. If we can't find camp cheesy danceworthy songs there, we might as well all give up and go home.

Go out and buy this album, you won't regret it. Hell, I'll rip you a copy if you like.

Whatever happened to these two? I assume their entertainment careers sank without trace after this nonsense.

When you've got a appearance at 8:30 and then are going to try your hand at getting into a fetish club even though that's not your scene and you don't really know what to wear.

Hale and Pace same thing but they are definitely NOT getting into the rock club.

Nick Cave and Kylie. This is a beautiful, sinister, glorious song from a beautiful, sinister, glorious album.

It was only a couple of years since the papers demanded the BBC ban the Shamen for Ebeneezer Goode, and now here's Jarvis singing all about getting off his tits forever and ever and ever.

I remember my graduation, where we all went off on a booze cruise on the Waverly, down tha water....

That Alice song being played by some band in the lounge bar, and all of us shouting "WHO THE FUCK IS ALICE" all through the afternoon on the way back.

All of us totally pished.

Some of us still don't know how we got back home that night...

@Twiteryeanot Ahh so it's you and your mates who are responsible for the sales of that monstrosity.

40 years later I might forgive you. Might.

The BBC's subtitlers just subtitled Cypress Hill's "Throw Your Set in the Air" like this.

I may not be down with West Coast USA hip-hop slang, but shouldn't it be "Homes" as in short for homeboys. Not Holmes as in Sherlock?

You are 15 again and you are with your friends making a mix tape.

Everyone gets to add one song.

The rules are:

  • The vocalist must be a woman.
  • The subject cannot be about yearning or submissiveness to a man.

So give us your favourite empowering tunes.

The theme is, in memory of our friend HelenG. So she gets a pass on the rules. I'm adding the song she added to our last mixtape.
