I was taking kids on a hike today and we were rocking out on some sweet 80’s tunes. So… it got me thinking about what were the greatest 80’s movie theme songs. Here’s my top 5 (plus 1) list of the Greatest 80’s Move Theme Songs:

1. The Breakfast Club - Don’t You (Forget About Me) [Simple Minds]
2. Flashdance - What a Feeling [Irene Cara]
3. Say Anything - In Your Eyes [Peter Gabriel]
4. Footloose - Footloose [Kenny Loggins]
5. St Elmo’s Fire - St. Elmo’s Fire [John Parr]
6. Back to the Future - The Power of Love [Huey Lewis and the News]

Any additions? Any arguments?

During the Youth Specialties Core Conference last weekend, the speaker referenced Milli Vanilli and our students were clueless as to who this mysterious group was. They didn’t know the music. They didn’t know Rob and Fab, their sweet dance moves,  or one of music’s greatest hoaxes.  So when we took some youth out this week, I decided it was time to introduce them to the amazing 80’s fake cheese known as Milli Vanilli. Sadly, the were unimpressed. Guess you had to be there [in the 80's] to appreciate it.

But don’t let that stop you from enjoying it…

Here’s your mid-week pick-me-up. Enjoy the cheese. Velveeta this thick will tide you over till the weekend.
