Can't talk 80's chick bops without this bopper

Would you believe me if I told you those scenes are from 80's Romcom starring heart throb Andrew MaCarthy and the plot of the movie involves him boning (repeatedly/passionately) a mannequin?

Best part of that starship vid is when the black dude with those insane sunglasses turns the fire hose on the white cops

i have been listening to sisters of mercy a bit lately. i would say they definitely bop, but they really don't have any bops.

As promised, before I go back into coed bops, here’s chick bop #10. This one also made lil’ fd have some questions that wouldn’t be answered until the girls went to another classroom and the 5th grade boys were given a pamphlet and a talkin’ to

I touch myself by Divinyls

sorry it's been a while since i rapped at ya. work was too busy for bops until now.

i've been sitting on this lil' guy for a while, hoping someone else would have the same affinity for it, but alas, it hasn't been posted yet.

this actually might be the best bop of all time. the limos, the wifebeater shirts, the mariachi band, the elvis impersonators, the LA kings hats, the well-placed trumpets and gym-class lyrics....add to that some absolutely genius lyrics, and you've got the quintessential checklist of all time bops. lackies and jenklefins, i present to you....

the king of wishful thinking by go west

***edit*** maybe no one posted it because im an idiot and it actually was released in 1990. i am ashamed, but will not delete because it's still a badass bop

Will you allow "Winds of Change" by the Scorpions? Recorded in 1990 but it still feels like how the 80's felt to me and the Scorpions used this song to end the Cold War and start the 90s. Also, one of the greatest whistling tracks, OAT.

i listened to an incred podcast that suggested this song was directly written by or with the CIA

Fantastic bop.

But I was always partial to their first hit/video (1985)

To me it was groundbreaking on both the bop and video fronts.

Bop #2 for today that I've been thinking about for a while now:

I love the way Stewart Copeland just absolutely rips the crap outta the snare drum during the chorus in this one.

WHOA HOLY CRAP

heard the song a thousand times, but had never seen the video. At 1:15 the singer dude stops the music and is like “hang on, maybe there’s another way to do this” and then he stands in a meadow and turns into a hawk that flies away, then the bass player gets into the back of a jaguar, starts playing with his dork, and turns into a cobra. THEN the drummer is hanging out by a bridge and turns into an iguana or a savannah monitor or something and then the keyboard player is dressed like a dandy fop and is walking on a bathroom sink and turns into a black cat. Then the hawk comes back, flies over a castle, back into presumably London, and then Yes starts rockin’ again.

Owner of a lonely heart, indeed

Edit: there’s also a guy who washes his face with meal worms and a buncha other weird crap
