NOTE: THIS IS AN OLD EPISODE WHERE I WAS TRYING SOMETHING WHICH DIDNT WORK, THE POD ONLY GETS GOOD FROM EPISODE 7 ONWARDS. FEEL FREE TO SKIP!

 

In this episode, we continue our journey through the electrifying tunes of the 1980s, diving into the second half of Playlist 1. Get ready for a nostalgic trip filled with disco classics, funky beats, and heartfelt ballads.

 We're kicking off with Positive Force's "We Got The Funk," a track that promises to get your feet tapping and hips swaying.

Next, we reminisce about the legendary Bee Gees with their soulful ballad "Spirits Having Flown," capturing the essence of their transition from disco kings to statesmen of pop. Following that, we delve into Dr Hook's "Better Love Next Time," a tune that brings back memories of a bygone era of love and heartbreak.

The episode wouldn't be complete without a nod to the British mod scene with The Jam's "Eaton Rifles," a protest anthem against elitism and indifference. As we move forward, it's time to celebrate with Kool & The Gang's "Ladies' Night," a disco staple that has stood the test of time.

Finally, we conclude Playlist 1 with Madness's "My Girl," a track that combines humor, charm, and relatable lyrics, epitomizing the band's unique style. But don't worry, there's plenty more 80s music to come in the next episode, featuring the Commodores, the Nolans, and Diana Ross.
