Time Warp 1

Pick one song from the 80's that was a hit. It can be from any genre. Share the video in your post. Tell why it was a hit, why you chose it, and any other meaning it has to you. Make sure that you include the name of the artist and song so that there are no duplicate entries. All posts must be made by November 4, 2017 at 11:59 pm. Make sure write using complete sentences and all posts must be a minimum of 75 words. If want to include a picture do so as well. Even though you were not born in the 80's you still are familiar with some of the music from the period.

For instance, my video is by Culture Club, " Karma Chameleon". I particularly like this song because it has a strong bass line that creates an ostinato, which seems to propel the music forward. The use of instruments such as the harmonica add to the flair that the video itself presents. It is set (or appears to be set) in New Orleans or some similar place. Women have the dainty parasols while the men are dressed in petticoats. Musically, it is simple to catch and the melody is short using only simple motifs. I also appreciate that the group used some literary devices like alliteration and onomatopoeia.
