Can I just tell you how fun THIS is?
I watched this movie on the way home from Italy and Scott got me the soundtrack for Christmas! I am SUCH a child of the 80's and this CD SO took me back there! ;)
Let's all get out our parachute pants and tease that hair up and go dance with somebody (who loves me)! After all, I'm not Jessie's girl or anybody else's for that matter and I don't want to fall head over heels. I DID spend some time in Vienna on vacation and asked if I would ever make it home. Sometimes I have to ask myself why can't I have a tainted love like everybody else? It makes me mad about you enough to want to burn down the house! But then again, that's what I like about you -- and we both know love is a battlefield. The heat is so hot from the fire I need ice, ice, baby! Ya know? I guess the answer is that I'm just crazy for you, and always will be...
In that crazy paragraph are 13 songs that are on the CD. Can you find them all? Don't cheat and NO -- I really don't talk this way in real life. As far as you know, anyway...
Great post, that was fun! I have to admit I was not a fan of the 80's but unfortunately I had to live them like everyone else did LOL

I'm a little young for the 80's music but I found 11! The Wedding Singer soundtrack is great for 80's music too!

I am definitely a child of the 80s! I'm always working on adding to my 80s DVD collection (as they are released). This movie, too was fun. I watched it with my daughter who got a big kick out of it.
Have you heard the song 1985? My kids laugh at me every time it comes on (I am NOT like the woman in the song though!).

I alredy own the DVD and I just got the CD for my birthday from my friend who knows how I still love 80s music. Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion soundtrack part 1 is also very good and fun.

I've been wanting to see that movie, and being a child of the 80's, I think I'll be getting that CD as well! Sounds great!
