some of these '80s songs.

I think I'm gonna do okay.

- I like coming here and sitting down
and listening to '80s music
-
because I always get introduced
to some new stuff.
-
- I grew up around
a lot of '80s music.
-
My parents played a lot.
-
I just didn't know
the artist or the name.
-
- Hell yes!
-
Is it '80s pop or rock?
-
If it's rock, I will get
every single one of them.

If it's not rock, it's up in the air.

I always set the bar high for myself.

it sounds like Sting's voice,

but not with The Police
backing the music.
-
- (FBE) This is called "Your Love"
by The Outfield.
-

"Your Love" by The Outfield.
-
I've never heard of that band.
-
- Yeah, I've never heard
of The Outfield.

playing this stuff, too,

-
- "I Need a Hero."
-
No clue on the name.
-
- "Hero" by Tina Turner?
-
- "I Need a Hero" by Madonna?
-
- "Holding Out For..."--
something with "Hero."
-
I want to say Cyndi Lauper,
but I feel like that's incorrect.
-
- (FBE) This is
"Holding Out For a Hero"
-
by Bonnie Tyler.
- Is it really?
-
It doesn't sound like her.
-
- My mom is gonna kill me!
-
Oh my god.
-
- Don't get upset.
-
The reason I know this song
is because of Shrek 2.
-
- (FBE) This song
was originally written
-
and released for the soundtrack
of Footloose in 1984.
-
It can also be heard
as a cover song in Shrek 2.
-
- I'm more disappointed
that I didn't know that
-
than that I didn't know the artist.
-
- That's probably
where I know it from,
-
to be honest.
-
- Yep! (laughing)
-
I think he's riding Donkey
when he's a horse,

and then the giant gingerbread man
falls into the moat.

Oh, that scene broke my heart.

some good shit.

-
- I don't know this song.
-
I don't think I've
ever heard this song.
-
I don't know-- the only band that
comes to mind is Foreigner.
-
- They sound kinda like KISS.
-
I don't ever remember hearing this.
-
I'm gonna guess it's KISS, though.
-
- (FBE) This is "Lick It Up" by KISS.
-
- Okay, I know KISS.
-
I don't think I've ever heard
this song, though.
-
- My KISS knowledge is not extensive.
-
I don't think this
is one of the few songs
-
that I know.
-
- KISS is [bleep] awesome.
-
I can't remember a lot
of their song names,
-
but they're sick.
-
- (FBE) Here are two photos of KISS,
-
with and without
their signature makeup.
-
In 1983 with the release
of "Lick It Up,"
-
KISS did their first music video
without makeup to prove
-
that they could cut it
on music alone.
-
- I mean, they look
like rock stars both ways.
-
- They belong this way.
-
This is what KISS is.
-
- That's so cool.
-
I feel like I've only seen them
with their makeup on.
-
- That's kinda cool because, I mean,
when you think of KISS,
-
you think of these guys right here
with all their makeup
-
and stuff like that.
-
- Gimmicks are one thing,
but music is what
-
you're really going for,
so that's what you want to have
-
most important-- when I think of KISS,
I think of the face makeup
-
and all wacky stuff.
-
They would want me to be like,
"Yeah, I love their music."

Was that Blondie?

-
- "Heaven Is a Place
on Earth" by Blondie.
-
- "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" by--
I want to say Cyndi Lauper again.
-
Not every female
in the '80s is Cyndi Lauper!
-
- (FBE) This is called
"Heaven Is a Place on Earth."
-
It's by Belinda Carlisle.
-
She was originally
the lead singer of The Go-Go's.
-
- Okay, nice, nice.
I've heard of The Go-Go's.
-

I've never heard of her.

I don't even know who the artist--
I've actually never even heard

the tune before.

-
- "Everybody Wants Some"
by Van Halen.

"Everybody Wants Some"--

won eight Grammys,

That's amazing.

how good he really was.
-
- Eight [bleep] Grammys.

That guy-- musical genius, he is.
-
- When he died, he died
being the King of Pop
-
for a reason, because he
was so good at what he did.
