Who loves the 80s?!

TV commercials from the 1980's.

Here is a Juicy Fruit chewing gum commercial. I loved the taste of Juicy Fruit but it didn't last very long.





I remember a funny commercial from the 80's from Maaco, a car repair company. A rival company's employees were a bunch of monkeys or chimpanzees with bats beating up on a car and that was the way they were repairing it. Uh oh, better get Maaco. YouTube doesn't have the commercial.

I was a fan of Edward Woodward in the 1980's tv show The Equalizer. He was a very attractive older man.

Good thread to dump my recently growing playlist of 80's pop tracks, which i didn't live but start to dig in. Even from an audiotard pov, huge soundstage + kitsch exciters is always a winner.

Good stuff, i only knew Sabrina in that track list. Of course we all do

I have so many cheesy ones from the 90's that's my area of expertise, like all the "Dance machine" era but that's for the other thread.

Probably our first/oldest favourite musical group was Fun Fun! Their music imprinted the sound of the 80s for us.
(80s music was always our favourite, and 90s Ace of Base. We began discovering many other forms of music in the 2000s)
My twin sister and I were listening to Fun Fun and dancing/jumping around to it in already in 1998 or 1999 when we were 6-7!
What a workout! Especially the 12' LPs!
We used cassette, CD or vinyl, until we foundMP3 downloads and made our own CDs.
(Dad was very musical, encouraged us to listen to music))

The on-stage dancers and lip-singing performers were Francesca (L) and Roberta (R) in 1984:


(The actual singers, recorded in a studio, were Antonella Pepe and Angela Parisi, and also Ivana Spagna in 1983.)


From 1985 until the end, the dancers were Elena (L) and Francesca (R)







1984, 1985:













Our favourite, Baila Bolero (1986), popular in Spanish-speaking countries





1987:
