ABCs of Music

New feature here at Thinking About. I did an ABC Meme last week, which got me somehow to thinking about Gina’s Music Monday feature, and then somebody put peanut butter in my chocolate, and the next thing you know, I decided that for the next 26 weeks, I’ll post videos. I’m going to go through the alphabet, and I think I’ll stick with the name of the band/artist, but I can’t promise to be consistent on that.
So, Happy ABC Music Monday! Our first group, of course, is ABC, with their fabulous song, “All of my Heart”. I love this song. It’s about eleventy billion times better than their more popular songs, “Poison Arrow”, “Be Near Me”, “The Look of Love”, or “How to be a Millionaire”. The only other ABC song that’s as good is “The Night You Murdered Love” (Awesome song, btw). Back when Ted and I were dating, he used to make me really awesome mix tapes, and I remember both songs being on them. I can almost figure out what song comes next on the tape….
UPDATE: The video was disabled, so it wasn’t working. I’ve replaced it with another version. The video is kind of lame, though…if you just want to listen, you can do that too! Just click and enjoy. 🙂

That was a pretty good mix tape, wasn’t it. 🙂 Always loved that song by ABC, and couldn’t figure out why it didn’t chart in the U.S. but went to #5 in the UK.

Oh, how sad! The video embedding was disabled. (???)
Anyway, I like the ABC music idea!
Have a great week and a happy Monday!

Hey Starshine, I fixed it. Now there are two ways to listen…the grooveshark is smoother, but for 80s cheeseball video, you have to watch. 😉 Thanks for the heads up!

Personally I love The Look Of Love, but this one’s good too.
Will all the vids in this meme be 80s faves?

I’m definitely getting old. Funny how the eighties keep getting recycled by a lot of current bands (I’m thinking Cut Copy etc) though not so much the ABC, Scritti Polliti strain of things.

What a great idea for a meme, J! Definitely lovin’ this music meme! Oh, and the 80s…love, love, love! Sort of in the same topic, but have you ever played Trivial Pursuit, the Totall 80s version?
