This week (Monday, Wednesday and  Friday) of 80's songs have been requested by andreux.  We start off with a song that people called blasphemous! I never felt the song was blasphemous.  I've always felt the song  was about someone so controlling and domineering that he wants the object of his desire to feel like he's her savior. He wants her to confide ALL in him and believe in him. Keep in mind that this band already had a hit song called Master and Servant, a nice little ditty about S&M.  The 80's  SONG OF THE DAY is...

Personal Jesus (1989)
by Depeche Mode


Your own personal jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone whos there

Feeling unknown
And youre all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
Ill make you a believer

Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know Im a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith
Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal jesus...

Feeling unknown
And youre all alone
Flesh and bone
By the telephone
Lift up the receiver
Ill make you a believer

I will deliver
You know Im a forgiver

Reach out and touch faith

Your own personal jesus

Reach out and touch fait

Great choice.

Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
I thought so, too. 

Andreux had to be all of what, 7 or 8 years old when this song came out?  LOL! Young folks!

Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
Hey now, age does not necessarily render wisdom. Heck, by that age, I was balancing my father's chequebook!

Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
Now we  see why you got into the field you're currently in!
Andreux on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
lol, maybe. I am just being facetious though. I am good at what I do, but I kinda hate it =(
Andreux on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
You say that now; wait until you see the rest of my choices for this week =) I am just a regular ol' pop music drone.

Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
Well, one great choice beats none. We'll see where it goes from here.
Andreux on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
To be frank, I just liked the beat lol -- when Mycki told me its true meaning, I was like, "NO WAY"
justjames on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
Okay, Frank.
Andreux on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
I always wondered if anyone would catch onto the whole "To be perfectly frank & ernest" thing

Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
Surely, it was bound to happen. But I won't call you Shirley.
Andreux on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
I would hope you would not call me Shirley!

Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
I always loved the beat to this song too.. I always wondered the basis of the song.. was it about FAITH... then I heard it may have been about Elvis and Priscilla, LOL..then I heard it may have been about drugs...

 

So I am going to just enjoy the lyrics and the beat and take it the way I want to personally

Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
I have heard it was about drugs too. Think I heard it on one of those "Love the 80's" shows. LOl, not a reliable source.
myclette on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
I love it when songs keep us guessing what they're really about.
FeatherDawn on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
LOL..or how about when you have a image in your mind.. ( or fantasy.. grins) and they did a video of it, and its WAY off??

 

myclette on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
Now, I absolutely HATE  that!  Remember all of the George Michael videos that came out after he came out of the closet? All of a sudden every video was a photo shoot with famous  supermodels.  
Andreux on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
Hey now wait!! Mycki told me that this song was about a domineering boyfriend who wants to be worshipped by his girlfriend...?!
myclette on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
Sounds like Elvis and Priscilla to me.
Andreux on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
Not drugs? Oh man, I am so confused lol
Andreux on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
yeah baby yeah!!! Let's get jiggy with it!! =) =) =)

Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
ACK!

That's a pretty sucky version.

Johnny Cash did it a whole lot better!

myclette on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
Johnny Cash did a remake.  This is the original.
rv1501 on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
It doesn't surprise me, Johnny Cash did many "covers", and usually better than the original... IMHO.  

At least now I know where it came from.

Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
This song was playing when I was working almost 24/7... two kids in college.  Memories.

Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
You so get the Mother Of The Year Award
shadeofgray on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
Yeah, I should run for president... or at least vice president. 
Andreux on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
You could kick her butt!!
shadeofgray on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
One more old person is the last thing they need!
Andreux on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week

Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
I'm rofl at those skinny, pasty British guys dressed up as old west cowboys.
myclette on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
I  loved the skinny chick dressed up like Selena!
labsnabys on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
I've always thought that making these old videos must have been loads of fun.  
myclette on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
It's like they didn't have any real ideas.

"Yeah, uh, you stand outside in the desert wearing leather and dance around.  I'll shoot this baby on black and white film!  Awesome!"
missmandible on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
Oh God you know whats so terrible as far as videos and pasty men dressed up as cowboys? The video for I Wanna Be A Cowboy. Holeeeeeeee shiiiiiiiet. I dont even know what the hell to think about that one! It reminded me of it, too, because they both have the makeupped cowgirl. 
missmandible on
Re: The 80's Song of the Day - Andreux Week
I mean, girl. The overly makeupped girl. LOL
