The Saftey Dance was written by the group's singer because he went ot a concert in the early 80s and (this shows how long it's been going on) guys in the audience mostly were 'slam dancing'. (later known as 'moshing'..more likea lame excuse for pushing and shoving..
He, naturally, didn't like it and wrote the song.
Going back to Mmmbop for a moment, people make fun of this song because they don't listen to the lyrics.
The just get the chorus and go "Oh that sounds so stupid". Even when you explain the song, they don't care.
Mmmbop is another word for 'a moment'. I'll say this for Hanson, they wrote it and they were right.
'An Mmmbop's gone' , s many gone since this song was a hit...
it's hard for me to even fathom that it's been *GULP*! 21 years since it was a hit.
In redefending We Built this City, Starship wrote this 'as' a comment on being a sell out. Record labels in the 1980s wants 'simple' stuff for the people that bought records (my generation) and that's sure what we got. Acts like (Jefferson Airplane/Starship), Heart , Cheap Trick, Kenny Loggins and others basically either 'had to' MTV up or step aside (both visually and lyrically.)
I'd have said 'screw this!' After the 80s were over, real songwriting once again took over.
All the way back to 1977 when I was 8 & 1/2 and RUMORS was out.
I liked the music but many of the deeper tracks were (no pun intended) over my head at the time.
U got a better understanding a I got older. I can honestly say 41 years and never stopped liking them.

The Beatles. Easily.
Like the Beach Boys and can say this. Where the Beatles last top 40 hit only made it to
#11 ("Real Love" 1996) , the Beach Boys ended their top 40 run by hitting #1 with Kokomo for 1 week in Novmber of 1988.
Pretty cool to end with a #1 hit. :)
Oh that is TOOOO easy . :D LOL!
80s Rocker Billy Squier (Yes it's spelled right) was having a
great career between 1980 - 1984...UNTIL the song "Rock Me Tonite".
Now. There's nothing wrong with the song itself. It's he absolutely
laughable video he made for it (and for that matter agreed to be in.)
Picture a (then) 33/24 year old man n a torn pin shirt and more awful 80s wear, 'strutting' around like a teenager in a bedroom that has no girlfriend. On top of that, just scene after scene of rock video cliche's, guaranteed to leave you falling down laughing. It reached #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 but his next single "All Night Long" (not the Lionel Richie song) only reached #75. He never made the top 40 or top 50 again.

He later fired his manager. He also does 'NOT' perform this song in concerts.
It's been downhill (but improving a 'little') since about 2002-2003.
I'm not saying this because I grew up with 70s music as a kid, 80s as a teen
and 1990s music in my 20s. I say this asa person who listens to music and own quite a bit of it.
If a song (from today) can't spark my interest emotionaly (any emotion) , then I feel tit has no real depth.
I'll make this very simple. I've collected music in all formats since age 11 in 1979 and I've
never stopped and I've gotten rid of only a handful of things since then. I own only two 8 tracks.
Simply put...too much to mention.
No American series with J but Here's one from Canada :
Jozi-H (2006-2007)
To 'CS' :
That's "This Is It" and it's not a ballad or a sad song, it's actually upbeat musically
and it's about having reached one's goals in life and notdoubting one's abilities to have done so.
If you want sad by Kenny Loggins (despite the '80s sound) listen to either
"Forever" (#40 in 1985 or "Meet Me Half Way" (#11 in 1987 and from the film "Over The Top" with Stallone.
