NOTE: THIS IS AN OLD EPISODE WHERE I WAS TRYING SOMETHING WHICH DIDNT WORK, THE POD ONLY GETS GOOD FROM EPISODE 7 ONWARDS. FEEL FREE TO SKIP!   Hello and a thousand glittery welcomes to I Completed 80s Music. I'm your zany ringleader of retro, the 80s mixtaper, here to dive into the second half of Playlist 4. We're back on January 13th, 1980, with toe-tapping treasures lined up. Get ready to dance with Kool & The Gang and headbang with the Ramones. Expect some silly antics and musical mayhem as we explore this rollercoaster of ridiculousness. Make sure to hit the follow button on your favorite podcast platform, and check out the curated playlists for Apple and Spotify at the bottom of the episode description. First up, we dive into "Wonderland" by the Commodores, a track that struts and glides like a walk through a New York borough after a night of passion. Followed by Sad Café's "Strange Little Girl," a soft rock cocktail that's more fun than a barrel of monkeys on a trampoline. Then, New Music's "Living by Numbers" takes us through the digitization of the 80s, with synth-pop vibes hotter than a llama in a microwave. Next, brace yourselves for the smooth, soulful "Too Hot" by Kool & The Gang, a masterpiece that tackles heavy topics with a funky beat. Followed by John Fox's "Underpass," a gritty synth-pop gem that explores urban alienation and isolation with a robotic twist. Finally, we wrap up with the Ramones' cover of "Baby I Love You," a punk makeover of the Ronettes classic, complete with Phil Spector's wall of sound. Join us for more whimsical waffling and melodic musings on the next episode of I Completed 80s Music.
