After that last one, that featured a song that really gets to my heart, here's some fun songs to liven me up! Bobby Brown - My Prerogative"My Prerogative" was written by Brown with new jack swing pioneer Teddy Riley and Gene Griffin, the song's producer. The song's lyrics reflected Brown's bad-boy image, and were representative of the new jack swing sound popular in the late-1980s. Following the top ten success of "Don't Be Cruel," "My Prerogative" earned Gold sales, and became Brown's first and only number one single on the U.S Billboard Hot 100. The track was also a number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and reached the top ten of the Hot Dance Club Play chart. On the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, Bobby Brown's original version rocketed 61-45, the week of November 5, 1988, just as "Don't Be Cruel" was descending from its two-week stint in the Top 10. "My Prerogative" steadily climbed the charts, and was stalled at #2 for three weeks, under Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn", before it finally reached #1 the week of January 14, 1989, becoming the first new #1 of 1989. Vs. Eddie Murphy - Party All The Time"Party All the Time" was a single recorded by comic actor Eddie Murphy in 1985, written and produced by Rick James. The song includes some of Eddie Murphy's falsetto talents, however restricted to a few phrases and a repetition of the chorus. Later, "Weird Al" Yankovic covered part of the song in one of his polkas. [1] The song holds the dubious honor of being ranked #7 in VH1's list of The 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs Ever. [2] In 2006, Sharam Tayebi of the group Deep Dish released a remix of the song known simply as "PATT", an abbreviation for "Party All The Time." The subsequent music video is a homage to the original, which had featured Murphy, James, and some backup singers recording the song in a studio.

Bobby Brown is great, but damnit, "Party All The Time" has everything you could want in a cheesy 80s song/video.
Eddie gets my vote.

Eddie's still partying, despite Bobby's whinning that he can do what he wants. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tears try to continue their strong tournament by moving a second song into Round 3. Madonna has her first appearance of Round 2. Tears for Fears - ShoutWhile Tears for Fears' previous single "Mothers Talk" had showcased a new, more extroverted songwriting style, "Shout" was an unexpected synth-rock anthem, complete with power chords, heavy percussion, and female backing vocals. The song even features a lengthy guitar solo, something previously unheard of in Tears for Fears' music. Roland Orzabal handles the lead vocal on the song, with both he and Curt Smith singing the chorus. The song was written in my front room on just a small synthesizer and a drum machine. Initially I only had the chorus, which was very repetitive, like a mantra. I played it to Ian Stanley, our keyboardist, and Chris Hughes, the producer. I saw it as a good album track, but they were convinced it would be a hit around the world. —Roland Orzabal We were halfway through recording 'Mothers Talk' when Roland first played us a rough version of a new song he'd been working on. It was then very slow and very simple. I remember saying "this is so simple it should take about five minutes to record." Weeks later... We were halfway through recording 'Shout' when Roland had a birthday party. That evening I asked the four of them separately if they had any thoughts about sleeve notes for the record. Roland said "White text on black paper and say something about arguably the best offering yet." Curt said "You're probably the best person to make up some off the wall irrelevant drivel." Ian said "I don't like them, I'm not interested." Manny said "Did you know I used to play drums for 'Rocky Ricketts and The Jet Pilots of Jive?" Vs. Madonna - Lucky StarThe music video was made in February 1984 in Los Angeles and was directed by Arthur Pierson. The video showed Madonna dancing around with her backup dancers (her brother Christopher and friend Erica Bell), dressed in black on a white background. [1] The video exploited her "Boy Toy" image and featured Madonna with a wild haircut and dressed in black punky clothes, that she would later describe as 'rags'. Styled by designer Maripol. [2] The video is also famous for showing off her much talked about belly button. [3] Two versions of the video were released commercially: an extended version using an edited remix of the song was released on Madonna's first 1984 video collection Madonna (which also included "Burning Up", "Borderline", and "Like A Virgin"), and a shorter version using the album edit of the song was released on the 1990 compilation The Immaculate Collection.

And if there's a 90's Tournament, Break it Down Again should be in it.

Shout wins. As much as I love that song, and wanted it to advance... I could never vote against a video featuring a young Madonna writhing all over the place. But that's me, say what you want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Who will be Rockin' and Dancin' when this match is said and done with? Falco - Rock Me Amadeus"Rock Me Amadeus" hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 29, 1986. Falco is often considered a one-hit wonder in the United States because of the low ranking of his follow-up singles to "Rock Me Amadeus", despite having, in 1982, released the original German version of "Der Kommissar", which was later covered by After the Fire. The song is ranked #44 in VH1's 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders. In the United Kingdom, the song hit number one on May 10, 1986, becoming the first single by an Austrian act to achieve that feat; in the UK, Falco is also often regarded as a one-hit wonder, although the follow-up "Vienna Calling" hit number ten. Falco also became the first German speaking artist to achieve #1 in all mainstream US-Charts( Billboard Hot 100, ARC Top 40 and the US Cashbox Charts) Vs. Men Without Hats - Safety Dance"The Safety Dance" was the first and biggest-selling single by the 1980s synth pop group Men Without Hats, written by Ivan Doroschuk. Released in the USA in 1982 and in the United Kingdom in September 1983, the song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. In the UK the song also proved successful, reaching number six. The song would prove to be the only major hit for the group. Their follow-up album, Folk of the 80's (Part III), reached no higher than #127 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart. Exactly what the title of the song refers to is debated. Some claim the song encourages safe sex, others that it encourages people to take care and be careful while slam dancing, and others again say the song is about the fear of leaving familiar and well known surroundings for something new. The music video for the song is notable for its medieval imagery. It was filmed in the village of West Kington, near Bath, in Wiltshire, England; Ivan Doroschuk is the only band member who performs in it. The others can be briefly seen standing off to the side in the town scene. The dwarf in the video has been identified as actor Mike Edmonds.
