Happy 1980's Pop Music Wanted Please
April 14, 2010 5:28 PM Subscribe
I'm looking for fun, poppy, happy 1980's music I was too cool to like at the time.
I'm filling up the Ipod and have been enjoying the hell out of some upbeat 1980's stuff."Walking on Sunshine," "I Want Candy" (Bow Wow Wows), and The Go-Go's are some examples of stuff I've been enjoying. Female vocalists aren't a must but a preference. Not looking for Journey/Styx/REO. Doesn't have to be 1980's, late '70's or that sound in general. Hope I'm being clear. I didn't have much luck with this thread.
There must have been tons of stuff like this out when my friends and I were slouching around in our Iggy Pop t-shirts.

google bubble gum music... probably lots of hits from the 60's/70's, but it might be what you're looking for.

Lenka's album (free streaming) is full of awesome, feel-good, unabashedly poppy songs. I've been listening to it constantly. (It's from 2007, but hey, you said this isn't limited by time period!)

Teenage Kicks by The Undertones came out in 1978, but that's close enough, I think.
And if you want great 80s happy-making music, how about Prince? (Don't tell me you didn't secretly love Purple Rain, because then I will call you a lying liar who lies.)
And some of those Athens bands like Pylon and the B-52s and that other one, what were they called?
Oh! And Romeo Void! ("I might like you better if we slept together.") And The Cars record Candy-o, which I was too cool to like at the time, too. And Wall of Voodoo! And Sparks! And The Romantics! And.... I should stop now.

Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star
Modern English - I Melt with You
Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl
Television Personalities - Part Time Punks

Genius of Love - Tom Tom Club
Gloria - Laura Branigan
Valley Girl - Frank Zappa
Da Da Da - Trio
Tainted Love - Soft Cell
Lies - Thompson Twins
Love Plus One - Haircut One Hundred

The song is listed first, artist second. In case you're not sure.
I'm afraid I'm far too lazy to look up links for each of these songs. I don't know if all of these will be exactly what you're looking for, but you should have fun poking through them. Oh, and perhaps you'll enjoy The Sweater by Meryn Cadell.

In the British twee category, which you may or may not have been too cool for, Heavenly are incredible. The American side of twee pop has a lot to offer too, starting with Beat Happening.

Bananarama - Shy Boy (if you like this, their greatest hits collection is a good bet)
B52s - Wild Planet is a pretty great album (Give Me Back My Man)
If you like Bow Wow Wow, check out some other Malcolm McLaren projects, Duck Rock & Fans come to mind. You can find some links in the recent obit thread. (Fans is not really super poppy -- opera set to a disco beat -- but it's awesome)
Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Rattlesnake is maybe a little too angst-y for this collection, but an absolutely perfect pop album. Perfect Skin.
Scritti Politti - Perfect Way
Tom Tom Club - Genius of Love
Was (Not Was) had some fun stuff: Out Come The Freaks, The Party Broke Up
The Blow Monkeys - Digging your scene
Depending on your definition of 'happy', the Art of Noise might be the ticket.
(and hey, what do you have against the Ig? This is pure pop for now people: Fall in Love With Me)

Best answer: Romantics as BOP says - What I Like About You. If you do not like this song, you are a dead person and cannot be reached.
Martha and the Muffins - Echo Beach
Julie Brown - Homecoming Queen's got a Gun and the rest of the Goddess in Progress album
Voice of the Beehive - Beat of Love and There's a Barbarian in the Back of my Car (a personal fave)
Josie Cotton - Johnny are You Queer
Plimsouls - Million Miles Away & the rest of the Valley Girl soundtrack which has some of the other songs people have mentioned. Here is the songlist [and downloadable music I think?] from a mixtape I made in 1986. It's half mopey and half poppy.

Ok, first, Split Enz' I Got You and, because I know you're a buff, History Never Repeats. The Housemartins are also totally in this ballpark; if you've never heard The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death or London 0 Hull 4 you're in for a socialist pop chocolate gospel delight of a time. Search Youtube for "Sheep," "Five Get Over Excited," "Me and The Farmer" or "Think For a Minute" to start. Then go for early Style Council, Paul Weller's post-Jam R&B soul-pop excursion. Speak Like A Child was the first of their 80s classics, but everything on their first EP fits your bill perfectly.

Best answer: John [in the 80s he was "Cougar"] Mellencamp's stuff, like "Jack and Diane". Also look for his cover of "Wild Night" with Meshell Ndegeocello.
No 80s mixtape is complete without Culture Club. I mean, come on, who doesn't love Karma Chameleon?
Missing Persons was fun - "Walking in L.A." was a cool song, with Dale Bozzio's weird hiccupy vocals.

Also, if you ever get a chance to see the film Urgh! A Music War, do not pass it up. This was a very formative experience for me when I was a Junior in high school.

Instead of engaging in shameless displays of neon nostalgia, I highly recommend discovering a newer artist who will give you some lovely upbeat James Brown flashbacks instead: Janelle Monae. Not what you asked for, but it's what I'm recommending to everyone right now, because she is criminally underpromoted.

Three covers come to mind:
The Belle Stars - Iko Iko
Club Nouveau - Lean on Me
George Harrison - (Got My Mind) Set On You (which had two videos: "George Harrison in Crazy Room" and "Ballerina in Crazy Claw Machine")
Oh! And then there's Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam. You can't go wrong with Lost in Emotion. That video's set in an amusement park on a summer night, which pretty much sums up happy 80s pop for me.

Try some freestyle. Not hip-hop freestyles, but latin-style dance music. Here's a little something I whipped up in Grooveshark. Mostly female vocals as you asked.
If you like it, googling "miami freestyle" or "latin freestyle" will get you many more suggestions and playlists.

Blondie's lesser known but just as fun stuff, like "Sunday Girl" and their cover of "Hangin' on the Telephone".
MX-80's "More Than Good".
Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know?" Deniece Williams' "Let's Hear it for the Boy" Gap Band's "You Dropped a Bomb on Me". Go West's "King of Wishful Thinking" (not really upbeat in lyrics, and also not even sort-of good, more just so cheesy it cracks me and my boyfriend up).
Some of these I've become more aware of lately because my husband and his best pal are major synth nerds and even though my husband in particular is painfully snobby when it comes to music (his favorite bands are Throbbing Gristle, This Heat, Autechre, and the Velvet Underground), they both will enjoy moments in incredibly cheesy one-hit-wonders from the '80s for some of the analog synths (esp. bass synths) still being used, heh.
