Ahhh, the soft, long bangs over the eyes version, and the mullet rocker version. Very nice.

 

[Fastshow]

..........

Otherwise known as: what he listened to if he was to ever have a shout of breaking his virginal duck (with a girl) and what he listened to when he was alone or with his friend.

 

[The Teacher]

On a different note...

Okay - we know we could go on forever about the 80's. However, let's add some difficulty...

1) J.Jett + Blackhearts - hate myself for lovin you
2) Heart - Barracuda
3) Madonna - Vogue (you know you tried to do it)
4) ozzy and Lita Ford - if I close my eyes forever
5) Suzanne Vega - Tom's Diner (annoyingly catchy)
6) Concrete Blonde - Joey
7) Scandal - Warrior
8) DeVinyls - touch myself
9) Deelite - Groove is in the heart
10) Tina Turner - Hero

Have I exhausted the 80's of female vocals?

Good morning to you too Captain
