Is Eddie Murphy's "Party all the time" the cheeziest song from the 80s? (1 Viewer)

Its pretty bad. I love the 80s and all but after *purchasing* this song and giving it one listen its in the recycle bin. I could see Eddie releasing this tune today for some of his recent movies have even been worse. Perhaps its time for Eddie to take a second stab at a musical career...

They had a "Cheesiest Song of All Time" call-in poll on my local sports talk radio show this morning. I think the favorite was the Shatner/Nimoy version of "Mr. Tambourine Man". But 80's song? What about that corny Don Johnson ballad that came out right after Miami Vice hit big? I don't even remember the name of it. And that ballad by "soap opera hunk" Jack Wagner would be up there, too--they played that one this morning.

The song by Jack Wagner is All I Need. One of the first cassettes I ever owned. The ultimate cheese!

 

[Wayne Bundrick]

"Somebody's Watching Me" by "Rockwell" (Barry Gordy's son) with special guest backup vocals by Michael Jackson.

What about that corny Don Johnson ballad

I think it was called "Heartbeat".

(don't ask how I can remember this. I just have a garbage-can of a head full of useless trivia... :b )

 

[MichaelAW]

It's obvious that none of you remember "Pac-Man Fever."

She's Like The Wind by Patrick Swayze.
I get bonus points for his mullet.

 

[Ryan Spaight]

Don't forget Bruce Willis' "soul" album, including a cover of "Secret Agent Man".

My personal vote would be for Spandau Ballet's "True". I pray for deafness whenever that is played...

 

[Adam Tyner]

"She's A Beauty" by the Tubes.

I actually like the Don Johnson song "Heartbeat".
No, the cheesiest song is without a doubt Carl Lewis' song "Break it up". Yes, the 80's track star. Here it is, with a cheesy video too (QuickTime): http://www.carllewis.com/video.music.1.html
Check out the rest of that site for his "acting demos" too.

My personal vote would be for Spandau Ballet's "True".

Ooooh....that's a good pick. I even cringe when a small part of it is played on an '80s CD commercial.

 

[John Kilduff]

Britney Spears' "Baby...One More Time".

I like 80s music, so I've gotta list something I find cheesy from the 90s. Cheesiness isn't an exclusively 80s thing.

Sincerely,

John Kilduff...

Right?

 

[MikeH1]

Mike S thanks for the link. That is definetly the worst song (and vid) that I have seen to come from the 80s. Eddie is saved!

 

[Adam Buchsbaum]

While technically not from the 80's these two songs are supposed to take place in the 80's:

You Got The Touch
Feel My Heat

The movie "Boogie Nights" captured 80s cheese perfectly!

 

[Greg_Y]

You Got The Touch

Wasn't this one from the Transformers movie?

 

[Shawn McBride]

It's obvious that none of you remember "Pac-Man Fever."

That's the first song I thought of when I read the title of this thread!

 

[James Q Jenkins]

Wasn't that song written by Rick James?

 

[Ryan Spaight]

Carl Lewis!

Didn't the '85 Bears record a single?

We are the Bears - shufflin' crew
somethin'-somethin'-somethin'--doin' it for you
Who remembers that second line?
