This is what you've been waiting for: After a much-debated contest, (drumroll) "The Eye of the Tiger" has emerged as the champ of the Best 80s Song poll. Rest assured that I will notify and congratulate Survivor immediately.
Some disagreement did surface during this intense debate, however. Some of you suggested that perhaps the best 80s songs didn't have a chance because they weren't listed. Well, here's your chance!
Tell me what songs you DO think should've been on the list. ...And as much as you might be tempted, don't try to suggest anything by Menudo, please. While you're thinking please check out the new poll, below and left.

okay....I'll have to go with the Greatest American Hero theme song!
I don't know the title, but I like the song that goes like this, "Turn the radio up, for that sweet sound, hold me close, never let me go..."
Hmmm...the best song from the 80's has to be hmmm...
Wierd Al Yankovick "Eat It"
No wait! Try "I Wanna Be a Cowboy" (My name is Ted....)
"...and one day, I'll be dead yo, yo, yo."
I think VH1s most awesomely bad song ever was "We built this City" by Starship. So...that's my vote. Because I like to be different. :D
Hey! I loved "We built this city!" I taped that one off the radio and would listen to it over and over and over and over and over and over and...
There might be even more suggestions for songs, but what if we combine all of the songs so far?
Believe it or not,
I wanna be a cowboy--and one day, I'll be walkin' on in, so
turn the radio up for that sweet sound and
eat it, eat it, don't make me repeat it, 'cause
we built this city on
who can it be? Believe it or not,
I'm not home.
The last part is for you hard-core Seinfeld fans.
LOL! OMG...you guys are killing me and I am going to have terrible 80's songs going through my head all day! What about...Dance Like an Egyptian...gotta love the Bangles for the 80's!
Isn't it "Walk Like an Egyptian"? I hope so because it was posted on a Baptist girl's blog and we know that Baptists can't dance...of course I think that it is due to us lacking rythm.
So was Genesis "I can't dance" from the 80's or the 90's?
Apparently "I Can't Dance" was in the 90s.
...And as Daniel said, as a Baptist OF COURSE I don't dance. Really. And truly.
I didn't say that I don't try--just that I don't dance. =) (Where are my ropers??? When is the next street dance?)
Speaking of all that, someone should ask David about the dance instructor who made an impression on him.
I came across this tonight, and it made me think of this conversation. What do you think...should I get it?
Click me!
Dave, LOL! You sooooo need to get that for Halloween!!! You and Dan both. :D
Wow, I may get it myself just for the wig. A girl always needs options on bad hair days.
Hey Alison, you might want to rethink the whole "community involvement" thing on your blog!
And I am quite sure that you would be an excellent dancer if you were to dance (just don't become Catholic - I don't like wine). Make sure that you don't dance to your "melding" of all of the songs. It might be a little erratic. And I can't get your mix out of my head so congradulations on a terrific re-mix of all the songs.
But if I do attempt to dance to the "melding," as you call it, I might even look like Elaine dancing on Seinfeld (yep, ANOTHER Seinfeld reference). If only...
Don't dance? What do you call the schottische and polka in that little town outside Abilene?
Alison, weren't you employed as a dancing waitress at the Irish Pub just down the street from the Seminary? Oh, and while I'm at it, a true fan of Seinfeld would remember when George and Jerry sang, "Lemon tree, oh so pretty..." But mind you, I don't watch that show. NOW TO ALL -- I know Dave's little secret about dancing, and it's worth getting him to talk. It's an OLD story.
Irish pub?? Shhhhhh!!!!
Travis, I think a better story would be the one where you explain this picture; it's time for the world to know your secret.
Click here for the shocking unbelievable footage of Travis "Will" Inman. Those with heart conditions may want to look away.
hmmmm, I am starting to see Travis in a whole new light... smiles!
Okay, I guess the gloves must come off. The secret that Dave's trying to protect involves an OLLLLD woman. Hmm, I wonder if she's still alive? At any rate, she was smokin!

Sorry, Dave, but the cats out of the bag now.
(Drink spewing out of mouth.) Touche'. Warn us next time, please!
David, I'm soooo sorry I started this. --Especially when apparently there's an old woman who looks like she could whip us all in a cigar smoke-off. That is, if we ever smoked cigars.
