Into the 80s

1. The funny scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones is at risk, standing against a sword-wielding man. The tension simply resolves. He takes out his gun and fires at him. It looks like he's saying, "Stop pestering."


2. Back to the Future 
Time travel is always an interesting topic. In this chase scene, Marty shows an overwhelming stunt. He pushes the skateboard backward under the chasing car and hops onto the vehicle. Plus, he has converse sneakers on. :-)


3. The Terminator 
I''LL BE BACK! This line comes to life due to Arnold Schwarzenegger's clumsy German accent.
I once had a crush on Michael Biehn playing Kyle Reese and watched every single movie he was in that I could get.


4. Star Wars
No sci-fi film is better than this classic. The prequel trilogy is no match for the originals. George Lucas is a genius. The fighter jet scene and the lightsaber scene are remarkable.



Synthpop became prominent. Two of the synthpop artists: Pet Shop Boys & A-ha.

New York City Boy (by Pet Shop Boys) 
New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

When you're a boy some days are tough
Lying on your bed playing punk rock and stuff
Home is a boot camp you gotta escape
Wanna go and wander in the ticker tape

You feel the deal is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City

New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

 The street is amazing the hoochies unreal
Check out all the hardware at the latest deal
Hear a song, that's the bomb
If you don't get that mix it's got 86'd

You feel the deal is real
You're in New York City



Always on My Mind (by Pet Shop Boys) 
Maybe I didn't treat you quite as good as I should
Maybe I didn't love you quite as often as I could
Little things I should've said and done, I never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn't hold you all those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you, I'm so happy that you're mine
If I made you feel second best, I'm so sorry, I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
Satisfied


Take on Me (by A-ha)
First ever music video made in anime style back then.


Manhattan Skyline (by A-ha)
We sit and watch umbrellas fly
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say,
"My boat's leaving now"
...so we shake hands and cry
Now I must wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

You know
I don't want to cry again
Don't want to cry again
I don't want to say goodbye
Don't wanna cry again
I don't wanna run away
I don't want to race this pain
I'll never see your face again

Oh but how 
How can you say
That I didn't try...
You see things in the depths of my eyes
That my love's run dry
No...


Summer of 69 (By Bryan Adams)
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bleed
Was the summer of 69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, and Jody got married
I should've known,we'd never get far

O when I look back now
The summer seemed to last forever
And if I had a choice
Yeah- I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you yeah
Standing on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
And when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
O yeah, back in the summer of 69

Man we were killing time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind

I guess nothing can last forever

And now the times are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
Think about you- wonder what went wrong


Heaven (By Bryan Adams)

Oh - thinking about all our younger years 
There was only you and me 
We were young and wild and free 

Now nothing can take you away from me 
We've been down that road before 
But that's over now 
You keep me coming back for more

Baby you're all that I want 
When you're lying here in my arms 
I'm finding it hard to believe 
We're in heaven 
And love is all that I need 
And I found it there in your heart 
It isn't too hard to see 
We're in heaven 

Oh - once in your life you find someone 
Who will turn your world around 
Bring you up when you're feeling down 

Yeah nothing could change what you mean to me 
Oh there's lots that I could say 
But just hold me now 
Cause our love will light the way 

I've been waiting for so long 
For something to arrive 
For love to come along 

Now our dreams are coming true 
Through the good times and the bad 
I'll be standing there by you
