(For my A to Z Blogging Challenge 2013, I am going to share music - one song a day - that has meant something somehow to me in my life.)
EEEEEE!
"Eternal Flame" by the Bangles
The Facts:
1) I am giving away my age, but this was my favorite song around my 14th birthday. This was the same year this song was released as a single, and was hitting the top of the US charts around my birthday, as a matter of fact.
2) I had been a Bangles fan for a couple of years, particularly because of song such as "Walk Like an Egyptian", "Manic Monday," and their cover of "Hazy Shade of Winter."
3) This was also a "bus song." Remember, I rode yellow school buses to school through the 8th grade!
4) I used to sing along with this song no matter where I was, but on the bus I sang very quietly. I didn't want anyone to hear me. I was already a victim of the "mean girls" at school, and I would not add any fuel to the fire.
5) I have never seen this video before. I don't remember seeing one back then. Either that or I thought the video was boring!

PS - This is my 100th Post on this blog!
If you're concerned about giving away YOUR age, I don't dare mentioned what I was listening to at 14. LOL I'm using the Random Generator to visit A-Z blogs- yours is one for today!
ReplyDeleteThe Bangles were one of the all time best girl bands EVER! I recently introduced my girls to them. They weren't as impressed ... geesh!
