Ode To The 80s

Might be a 70s song or two in there as well. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜‹

My pick for this week’s No Theme Thursday image. Yes, it’s stupid and yes, I’m just screwing about, but see how many song titles or lyrics you can identify. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Summertime girls burnin’ down the avenue

Shot through the heart, but I want action too

Rock and roll all nite and I party all the time

It might not be legal, but it sure ain’t a crime

Found a little runaway on Sentimental Street

I need aggressive women to knock me off my feet

Her name was Yankee Rose and she told me hit the lights

Once bitten, twice shy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights

Here I go again, I can feel your body talk

In my dreams, it’s still the same, I’m crazy ’bout your walk

When I see you smile, I never say goodbye

Run to you, rip it out, you got it, watch me cry

Somebody save me, cat scratch fever in my veins

Alone again, I’m sitting here inside this house of pain

If this is it please let me know, I’m burning like a flame

I’m heading home sweet home, Sister Christian up above

Drop dead legs from Panama, too young to fall in love

And just for some added 80s flair:

  1. The bottom pic definitely gives me GTA vibes for some reason, LOL

    1. That’s where I was going with it. There’s a filter that I added to the image and it came up with that. I’ve been sitting on it for awhile lol

  3. Definitely GTA feel. Good job collating all those titles though. Felt like I was pressing skip on my playlist while reading.

  5. The car in that last pic is 70s. :Dโ€‚Looks like an AMC like Nacho drove in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.โ€ƒIf it’s supposed to be a Mustang, slap your AI.โ€‚:D

    1. I actually don’t recall giving it any info at all on the car other than the color. No vintage or anything.
      And I’ve never seen either of those shows, so your reference is lost on me ๐Ÿ˜‹

      1. Just google up AMC AMX.โ€‚One of the most under-appreciated hot rods of the era.โ€‚The 74 looks pretty close to what your AI gave you

      2. Oh, I meant the show. The Nacho reference means jack to me ๐Ÿ˜„

        My father and uncle both worked for AMC/Jeep for many years, so I am fairly familiar with most of the cars.

      3. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are both great, and on Netflix. I avoided them for the longest because I thought they glorified evil, but both do a really good job of showing how the characters are screwed over by their evil choices. With Breaking Bad in particular, you find yourself pulling for Walter at first, abut by the time the series ends, you can’t wait to see him get it.

      4. I don’t know that I have avoided them for any reason other than the time investment. I feel like the less tv I watch, the less I miss it. I’ll watch a game or something, and that’s about all I feel like putting into it.
        I can’t even tell you the last actual show I watched, it’s been that long. I’ve seen bits and pieces of stuff, but nothing remotely consistent that I can recall.

      5. I noticed on some of mine the AI can’t do the fine details like the difference between the headlights on a 73 vs 74 Chevelle but most folks these days don’t notice..

      6. AI can still be very dumb at times. I definitely don’t go in expecting perfection. lol
        And sometimes the more details you give it, the more you confuse it. ๐Ÿ˜„

      7. very true on the too much detail, sometimes I like to just give it a big bunch of nonsense to see what it spits out. Big Mike’s deluxe weiners!!

      8. Sometimes the nonsense actually comes out yielding something decent. At least on the humor scale lol
