"Hit it."

Getting weird immediately with "Pecori Night," by Gorie with Jasmine and Joann, a Japanese cover of The Bay City Rollers' "Saturday Night." Not just a cover, of course, because this has a cross-dressing guy dancing around dressed like a cheerleader... Can't find the original video for this one on YT, but maybe just listen to the audio only anyway. It's ... catchy. They also have a banger cover of "Mickey." No idea how I stumbled across these.

Song number two: "Fight Song / Amazing Grace" as covered / remixed / performed by The Piano Guys:

Great song, great performance, great video, what more can I say? Look up some other stuff by them if you like this one – "All of Me" and "Rockelbel's Canon" are good examples.

Third song goes here: I'm passing over some of the English-language Eurovision songs from the 80's that I've grabbed recently (I think I already posted them here?), and I'm choosing "The House You Live In" by Gordon Lightfoot:

He's more than just 'the Edmund Fitzgerald guy.' I can also suggest "Don Quixote," "Early Morning Rain," "Sit Down Young Stranger," "Second Cup of Coffee," and "If You Could Read My Mind" if you like this kind of melancholy, folk vibe.

Song Number Four: "Tracy" by The Cuff Links. Here's your obligatory oldies, happy pop song:

Fifth Song Goes Here: Finally, how about a lesser-appreciated 80's pop / rock song? I present to you the ballistic missile submarine Red October "Playin' With Fire" by Lita Ford:

I like her pop / rock stuff, but the majority of her work appears to be more country-sounding.
