80s MEMES

FUNNY 80s MUSIC MEMES

Billy Idol is an iconic icon of the 80s, and he is still rockin' today. He claimed that he was always Dancing With Myself, but I have proof that isn't true!

Billy Idol Dancing with myself

With a REBEL YELL we cried more, more, more...what exactly what he asking for more of?

Perhaps it was for more WHITE WEDDINGS! White tuxedos were an 80s fashion trend, so that was probably what he wanted more, more, more of?

We all consider Billy Idol a loverboy, but, what about the band LOVERBOY? They were making some great music in the 80s. I always got the feeling that the lead singer of LOVERBOY only liked the weekends? He was always WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND. Probably b/c that is when they would perform their awesome 80s rock!

Working for the weekend isn't as fun as Loverboy made it sound.

Then there is PETER GABRIELLE. What a artist. I never understood his music. Like, who wants to SHOCK THE MONKEY. Was this a call against animal cruelty and the use of test rabbits for makeup? I know Peter used a lot of make-up in the 80s.

Peter Gabrielle shocked the monkey?

Monkeys do not like Peter Gabrielle

My favourite 1980s band was MEN WITHOUT HATS. Not sure what hats had to do with anything, but they did have that awesome song SAFETY DANCE. Safe to dance without hats, but not safe to not dance. Not dancing will get you socially isolated. Ouch.

Then their other hit, which I still listen to today, 40 years later...LAND DOWN UNDER

I come from a land down under kangaroo chilling

And, they had the great videos that went along with their song. Remember seeing them on MTV. There was that crazy blond haired girl in one of them, that was memorable. Ahh, the 80s memories.

Pop goes the world - Men without hats

I've heard that some people confuse Land Down Under with TOTO AFRICA. Really? They are completely different songs.

Land down under song joke

Also, just a reminder that TOTO has plenty of other hits besides THE RAINS DOWN IN AFRICA!

Toto has other hits besides Africa, haha

I don't come from a land down under. I come from a place associated with Tarzan, Tarzan Boy...BALTIMORE!

Tarzan Boy is from Baltimore

I think Gary Numan bought his first car in Baltimore in the early 80s. That moment changed his life!

VAN HALEN FUNNIES

You cannot think of the early 80s without picturing David Lee Roth jumping around with his striped leotard suit, or not picture the iconic red, white, and black guitar of Eddie Van Halen...and maybe the other dudes in the band too?

David Lee Roth with his crazy clothing. Eddie Van Halen with his matching guitar and jumpsuit. How 80s!

Eddie Van Halen was in his prime. He was magical on the guitar. Rumour has it he could make music by playing a broom.

Who was the best rock band in the 80s? No brain needed to answer this question (most of my brain is gone anyway after all the headbanging and subsequent concussions)...Van Halen is the best. Even Alfie knows that!

Best band ever? Van Halen!

 The band's biggest hit, JUMP, has some great history behind it. First, it was inspired by a jumper, aka suicidal guy who threatened to jump off a bridge or building or something really really high.
Second, it was the song that broke the band apart. Nice job guys.

Van Halen song Jump.

The band just wasn't the same without the egotistical, charismatic, odd, chauvinistic, DLR.

Van Halen without David Lee Roth - no thanks!

 Sammy Hagar was no replacement. I kind of stopped listening to Van Halen after that point.

Feeling sad when Van Halen broke up

 I still love the early Van Halen records. I've pretty much played my 1984 album to death, Eruption just don't work like it used to. And, yes, I still crank it to 11 when I put on the old VH records.

Crank my Van Halen to 11

And, when I hear Running With The Devil or Hot for Teacher come on the radio, I cheer and turn it up! I also sing along. Sorry kids in the backseat of my manvan.

When a Van Halen song comes on!!!
