I WANT THAT MAN by DEBBIE HARRY
another banging 80s music hit. This one is a personal favourite of mine.

"I Want That Man" is a 1989 song recorded by the American singer Deborah Harry. The song was released as the lead single from her third solo album, Def, Dumb & Blonde and was the first record Harry released in which she reverted to using Deborah as her name instead of Debbie. It became a hit in several territories, reaching number two in Australia and on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The single also became a top-twenty hit in Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.








Lyrics

I wanna dance with Harry Dean
Drive through Texas in a black limousine
I want a piece of heaven before I die
I wanna pair of pink high heels
That catch the lights up on the Ferris wheel
What I really want I just can't buy
Here comes the twenty first century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
'Cause I want everything I can
But most of all I want that man
I want that man
I wanna move like what's-his-name
I'll keep the money
You can have the fame
Everything that's yours will soon be mine
Yeah I wanna be the Queen of the USA
You could send me roses every other day
What I really want I just can't buy
Here comes the twenty first century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
'Cause I want everything I can
But most of all I want that man
I want that man
I wanna be kissed from head to toe
By that man in the very back row
But he won't even look me in the eye
Oh I want his love to rain right down on me
I want him to be king of all my dreams
What I really want I just can't hide
Here comes the twenty first century
It's gonna be much better for a girl like me
'Cause I want everything I can
But most of all I want that man
I want that man
I want that man
I want that man
I want that man
I want that man
I want that man
I want that man
I want that man
I said I want that man
I want that man

BELFAST CHILD by Simple minds

 BELFAST CHILD by Simple minds This song was inspired by the 1987 Enniskillen bombing, when a bomb planted by the IRA exploded during a Remembrance Day service at Enniskillen in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, killing 11 people and injuring at least 63. Simple Minds lead singer Jim Kerr explained to Q magazine in 1989: "In the second part of 'Belfast Child' I'm trying to relate to people in Northern Ireland who've also lost loved ones. I'm trying to talk about the madness and sadness and emptiness. I'm not saying I have any pearls of wisdom, but I have a few questions to ask. When I'm asked on American TV who my heroes are, rather than saying Lou Reed or Bob Dylan or someone who goes without saying, I say there are these people called Amnesty International and what they are doing I think is rather heroic. It only takes about 30 seconds."  The music is based on a traditional song alled "She Moved Through The Fair," which Jim Kerr hea...

Feels Like I'm in Love Song by Kelly Marie Ray Dorset, who was the lead vocalist for Mungo Jerry, wrote this for Elvis Presley, who was one of his idols. Unfortunately, Elvis' untimely death ruled this out and the song ended up as the B-side of a Mungo Jerry single released in France. In the book 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, Dorset explains: "I wrote Feels Like I'm In Love in 1977 with Elvis Presley in mind and even recorded it Elvis-style on my demo. My producer, Barry Murray, was about to send it to Elvis when he got a phone call saying Elvis had died. After that, I kinda put it to bed for a while. Kelly Marie had a few minor hits in France and had been hanging around our office a bit. I thought she had a good voice, so I asked her if she wanted to record the song." This was originally released 18 months earlier but it failed to chart. It then became a northern club hit before finally topping the UK charts. Kelly Marie was born Jacqueline McK...
