“I Eat Cannibals” from Total Coelo, 1983

catchy odd song from the glory days of music video, I include it here because the fashions were so distinctive, and remind me of bright colored plastic trash bags. I’m sure the success of their song allowed the girls to get more elaborate costumes for their next videos.

“Something Stupid” from Nicole Kidman and Robbie Williams. We love the beauty and the style of this remake of the Sinatra song. By the way, as much as I love this song, it was just plain creepy when Frank Sinatra was singing this to his daughter Nancy. This version is wonderful.

I’ll admit to a great fascination about the 1980s. It was the time when I was a young adult, excited by all the possibilities, absorbing every bit of pop culture and serious culture I could find. So I decided to write about it.

My new blog is www.stuckinthe80s.wordpress.com

Everything you ever wanted to know about the 1980s, along with things you’ll wish you never knew, is here or coming very soon. News, music, television, fashion, sports, movies, politics, and culture.

Mr T, Margaret Thatcher, Thierry Mugler, Max Headroom, Devo, Madonna, The Facts of Life, John Waters, Jello Pudding, WilliWear, Adam and the Ants – you get the picture.

The blog is all in video format, so you’ll see vintage 1980s video with commentary. The blog, like this one, is searchable. Visit and take a journey to not-so-far-back history.

Yes, direct from 1983, it’s Les Rita Mitsouko singing Marcia Baila. We love the song, the singer, and the fashions. Too cool, gotta go.
