we love the '80s II

A bunch of crazy Norwegians performing Total eclipse of the heart in a phantomatic køkken

Who knows why this Christmas time is bringing me back to a kind of music I abandoned sometime ago

Rock it, jump it, dance it, love it.

I am still a punk-rock kid

Saturday night I was invited to an 80's party.

I don't know that much about the eighthies, besides some trash songs and other good synth/new wave stuff. I mean, there are a lot of songs I've heard before, but I have no idea about the author nor the title. That night, at some point, I got hooked on a song, but I forgot to ask the dj about the band. The song kept tickling my mind for days. I tried everything on internet, but I had no lyrics, no nothing! So I recorded my voice singing the refrain and I asked my followers on twitter and....tataaa...in 5 minutes a Danish guy, who has a music blog, answered me! The song was 99 luftbaloons by Nena. They are German, so that's probably why I couldn't come up with any word of the lyrics. Anyway, since the half-an-hour we danced the Ramones, I realized how I still enjoy dancing some healthy punk-rock. How fun it is and how it makes me feel a teeneger, maybe...:)

For this reason, I propose a punk-rock cover of my song of the day by an unknown italian band...

It is just too easy to do a punk-rock remake of it...

JUMP JUMP!

But the original is the original... If only it would have been a little bit faster....:P
