Back To The 1980s Community Group

Welcome back to the 1980's. Remember how much fun the decade of the 80's was? Remember the tv shows, the movies, the tunes, the trends, the fads, etc. Remember who shot J.R. on "Dallas"? It was Kristen Sheppard. This is the room for you to kick back, relax, and tell us what you remember about the 80's and if there's anything you wish was still around...

Other Jackson sister is Ruby. Band that removed makeup Kiss. Eddie Murphy sang with Rick James My girl wants to party all the time. The other half of wham was Andrew Ridgley.

My question is Who sang valley girl?

My question is: Who sang backup on Rockwell's song "Somebody's Watching Me?"

I think you mean Frank Zappa who had four kids, two with unusual names... moon unit, one of his daughters and Dweezil, one of his sons... he made the news naming his kids those names... then there was Diva and Ahmet his other daughter and son.... I remember reading something a while back about Frank offering his, then 12 yr. old daughter a diaphragm and her own apartment to go screw boys at when she wanted.... WOW, huh.

Anyway, that question took me back.
Here's one, What year did Depeche Mode release their first song on MTV and what song was it?

The 12 yr old daughter was Moon Unit, who now is just called Moon and does some awesome artwork in LA

The Depeche Mode question...this is tough. Their 1st video made was Just Can't Get Enough in 1981, but I'm thinking that the first one played on MTV was probably People are People in '84?

Oh, and btw Fuse plays videos all day, and of course VH1 Classic is a good one to watch 80's videos on.
