   JenV..

   you show your youth...

   women would have said that long before 1980;)

   JanS.. Love your avatar!

   not showing my youth, just my bizarre propensity for 80's music trivia....Modern English, 1982. ;)

    perhaps...

    my heart melts for you..

    would be more accurate pre 1980:)

    I'm impressed JenV! That song has tons of covers, but yes, I was thinking of the Modern English version.

    Around here I'd think snowmen would ask if you smell bacon.

    Well, I have to lean towards early 80s - and even late 70s, which this one is from:

    I'm all tuned in, I see all the programmes
    I save coupons from packets of tea
    I've got my giant hit discoteque album
    I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free

    OK, gonna have to dig deeper - i'm out of town so don't have access to my old cassette tapes for inspiration, so it might be a few days. :)

    And, for the record, I still do love "I Melt With You" by Modern English, it's on my ipod!

    Me too. But there is this trippy flower child kinda version that was released a few years ago which I am fond of too. And I regret to have been told that Taco Time used the music in an ad about some melty cheesey thing. Sigh.

    I hate when the good music ends up in cheesy (no pun intended) commercials, like "I Can See For Miles" for an allergy drug. Ugh!

    Since this thread is so random, I don't really feel like I am thread jacking. This goes with using slogans for other purposes...and is pretty funny.

    The boss of a Madison Avenue advertising agency called a spontaneous staff
    meeting in the middle of a particularly stressful week. (This is one
    pretty sharp boss!) When everyone gathered, the boss, who understood the
    benefits of having fun, told the burnt out staff the purpose of the meeting
    was to have a quick contest. The theme: Viagra advertising slogans.

    The only rule was they had to use past ad slogans, originally written for
    other products that captured the essence of Viagra. Slight variations were
    acceptable.

    About 7 minutes later, they turned in their suggestions and created a Top
    10 List. With all the laughter and camaraderie, the rest of the week went
    very well for everyone! The top 10 were:

    10. Viagra, Whaazzzz up!

    9. Viagra, The quicker pecker picker upper.

    8. Viagra, like a rock!

    7. Viagra, When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.

    6. Viagra, Be all that you can be.

    5. Viagra, Reach out and touch someone.

    4. Viagra, Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.

    3. Viagra, Home of the whopper!

    2. Viagra, We bring good things to Life!

    And the unanimous number one slogan:

    1. This is your peepee. This is your peepee on drugs.

    And one of my fav songs of the eighties is a little off the beaten path.

    Did I ask you for your love?
    Did I ask you for your dedication?
    I don't want, I don't want your love.
    I don't want, I don't want your affection!
    But I've got to have the car
    I need it for the weekend.
    I've got to have the stereo,
    And a couple of deletions
    I've got to have the freezer
    Put some fun back in my eating (?)
    I've got to have it all until I'm complete!

    What did the snowman say to snowwoman? "Baby, why do you have to be so cold?"

    What did the snowman say to the snow-woman? "Gawd, you are frigid!"
    What did the snow-woman reply? "How dare you--you've sure got some snow-balls!"
    What was the snowman's retort? "Take a chill pill, you flake!"
