from Six Picks Music Club · host Six Picks Music Network

Episode 027: Grab your Rubik's Cube and slip into those leg warmers, because this week on Six Picks Music Club, we're totally tubular with our radical rundown of 1980s One Hit Wonders! Geoff, Dave, and Russ are busting out their finest Members Only jackets to bring you a gnarly selection of tunes that'll have you reaching for your Aqua Net. We're talking about the bands that burned brighter than neon and faded faster than your acid-washed jeans! Get ready to take on A-ha's "Take On Me" without needing to jump into any pencil-sketched worlds. We'll be walking on sunshine with Katrina & the Waves, spinning right round (baby, right round) with Dead or Alive, and don't worry - we promise not to make you listen to "Don't Worry, Be Happy" on repeat like your local radio station did back in '88. But wait, there's more! We're blasting off with Peter Schilling's "Major Tom," proving that space was the place in the 80s. And of course, what would a trip back to the 80s be without doing the Safety Dance with Men Without Hats? As if that weren't enough to overload your Walkman, the guys dive into a totally mental discussion about the lyrics of some classic songs that'll have you saying, "Gag me with a spoon!" So, flip up your collar, grab a New Coke, and settle in for an episode that's more jam-packed than your Trapper Keeper. It's time to party like it's 1985 on Six Picks Music Club!   Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist YouTube Playlist Official Site Listener Listens -Magna Carda - Instagram Original A-ha "Take On Me" Video - YouTube
