Throwback Thursday to the 80's

How's everyone's week been so far? My week has flown by.  Last night was so nice because it got down to 80 degrees and i actually sat outside on my patio.  I had bought a new cushion and pillows for my patio loveseat and its been so flipping hot- i sat on them for the first time last night.  I am soooo happy its not triple digits. Fingers crossed it stays this way.  I am leaving for my Montana trip in a few weeks and i cant wait!

I listen to iHeart radio in the mornings because its nonstop music with no commercials. You can pick almost anyone you want to hear and then it will play other songs similar or from same time period.  I listen to The Cure station.  It plays a lot of  great 80's bands such as Psychedelic Furs, The Smiths, Modern English,  Echo and the Bunnymen and Siouxsie and the Banshees.  I used to LOVE listening to Siouxsie and the Banshees!
This song makes me happy and i want to break into dance.   This is titled: Kiss them for me




It glittered and it gleamed
For the arriving beauty queen
A ring and a car
Now you're the prettiest by far
No party she'd not attend
No invitation she wouldn't send
Transfixed by the inner sound
Of your promise to be found, oh
Nothing or no-one will ever
Make me let you down
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, if I am delayed
It's Divoon, oh it's Serene
In the fountains pink champagne
Someone carving their devotion
In the heart shaped pool of fame, oh
Nothing or no-one will ever
Make me let you down
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
On the road to New Orleans
A spray of stars hit the screen
As the 10th impact shimmered
The forbidden candles beamed
Kiss them for me, I may be delayed
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
Kiss them for me, kiss them for me
Kiss them for me, I may find myself delayed
Kiss them for me
Kiss them for me

My favorite song from Echo and the Bunnymen is Lips like Sugar

She floats like a swan, grace on the water
Lips like sugar, lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her, she glides across the water
She calls for you tonight to share the moonlight
You'll flow in her river
She'll ask and you'll give her
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
She knows what she knows, I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses, sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours, she's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break and melt into this lake
You'll flow in her river
She'll ask you and you'll give her
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
She'll be my mirror, reflect what I am
A loser and a winner the king of Siam I am and my Siamese twin
Alone on the river
Amazing river, amazing river
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
Lips like sugar, sugar kisses
Lips like sug-sug-sugar, sugar kisses

The funny thing is that after watching both videos - they both have a touch of India(n) influence.  The first one for sure with the Bolly dancing. The second video has 2 Indian women.  Cool!  The lead singer for Echo has beautiful lips- i'm not gonna lie.

Its almost Friday y'all- one more day!!  Make it a good one.
