Jean Carne - Was That All There Was (1979)

I can distinctly remember sitting on the end of the bed after my first sexual encounter, thinking to myself "Was that all that was"?
I kept thinking there might be a second, better, part or something, but no dice. That's it, kid. Get used to it.

Earth, Wind & Fire- Fantasy (1978)

In some people's lives, they are millionaires or famous, but I don't like to ask for much from the universe... My fantasies mainly involve getting myself to a point in life where I no longer have to roll nickels, dust my own records, or steal pens from the bank.

Paradise- Back Together (1983)

You can watch as many as those sappy 'dad and son eating Oreos together in a heartwarming way' commercials, the ultimate truth about how to eat Oreos starts in the selection at the grocery store. You don't want a flimsy cookie that falls apart in milk. That's right, Double Stuf ONLY. Then, you take two Double Stuf Oreos, throw away the top cookie (or eat them, I don't care), and put them back together into a Quadruple Stuf Oreo, and that, loving TV dad and son, is how you eat a god damned sandwich cookie.

The Meadows- My Love Was Sleeping (1981)

I wish I could find a staying-on-a-rollercoaster contest somewhere, because I would be sleeping on a pile of fucking money right now.

Cyril Featuring Marcel Evans- Will You Show Up (1984)

Every time I cross the border, despite a complete lack of criminal record OR intent, I am just positive that they are going to scan my passport, and I'm going to show up on some sort of international bad-person database where I'll have to go live in a foreign jail where I will have to sleep in the dirt and eat bugs for the next twenty years. It is always a great way to start a vacation.

Linda Clifford- Runaway Love (Jim Burgess 12" Mix) - 1978

If the world got to be too much for me as a child, I would take off on my parents and go hide under the slide at the park. Now, in my thirties, I take a certain amount of solace in reminding myself once in a while, that, although generally frowned upon in adult society, there is still nothing technically preventing me from running away from home.

Phreek- Weekend (1981)

I can't tell you how often I count down the minutes in every weekday, just getting to that magic spot on Friday night where I take off my pants, and leave them off, until Monday morning.

LaJohn & Sheela- Too Far Gone (1982)

You know you've really gone too far when they give you three pairs of chopsticks in the takeout bag for a solo meal.

Empulse- Secret Love (1982)

This afternoon, I used the word 'seapunk' casually, and I was secretly pretty bummed on myself for the rest of the day.

Mona Rae- Do Me (Tee Scott Mix) (1981)

Ladies. DO ME A FAVOR. Before you decide that you can 'twerk' out in public, try it out in the mirror, be constructively critical of attempt, and ask yourself if you are honestly far too Caucasian to be out popping your ass all over town in the first place. If you're all clear, then please, twerk your little heart out.
