Songs of the Day: Upbeat 80's Pop

Here are two examples of the pop candy that frequented the airwaves of MTV back in the day. Enjoy!

Hooters "And We Danced"



Dan Hartman "I Can Dream About You"


An interesting thing about this song.  There were actually two videos for this song, which was from the soundtrack for the film "Streets of Fire" (forgetable).  One featured the r&b group "The Sorels" from the movie, and this one which has the interesting concept of showing the composer as a bartender singing along with the first video.  Holy Elvis Presley, Batman, most people thought that "I Can Dream About You" was sung by a black man, and the "Streets of Fire" video only reinforced that notion.
