There's a song called Nineteen-hundred eighty five, sung by Paul McCartney and Wings, a band from before your guys' time, I think. Your job is to find a song that was released in 1985. Explain why you chose it, how it makes you feel, what the poet/songwriter is saying and if you even like it. I wasn't born until 1988 so I will also do this one. Remember your selection has to be school-appropriate!!
Some suggestions…
-USA for Africa (band)
-Kool and the Gang
-Madonna
-Bryan Adams
-What I am going to do is type in hits of 1985 in a search engine, results will come up!

I chose this song because the lyrics are very good and talk about what you shouldnt keep bottled up inside. I like it but its not something i would listen to now because its a little too old school :D

The song i chose is Everybody wants to rule the world. I beieve this song is about every body wanting to be better then another person is. And the song writer wrote this song because he wants everyone to know that everyone is the same way you are. Wanting to be better then one another.

I chose the song One More Night by Phil Collins because his songs are fun to listen to. I think tis song is about him wanting one more night with the girl he loves. The song writer wrote this song to show that he wants more time with this girl. I would listen to it now, because phil collins songs are amazing :D Lol. my dad listens to him too so i kinda have to. :P

Bryan Adams- Heaven
This song is pretty good, and I still hear it sometimes. It talks about how this guy who is remembering when he and his wife were younger. He is talking about how he is still in love with her and how much she means to him.

i have picked another day in paradise by Phil Collin. i picked it because it just tells a wonderful story about how everyone needs a helping hand once in a while and you cant just make statements and think they are right ... as it says everyone needs to think twice.
Party All The Time - Eddie Murphy
I choose this song because he is talking about a girl that was a gold digger i guess and that he really loved her. The song really talks bout love and don't let it bring you down and live your life.
i picked a song that i've ways listened to, "Money for Nothing" by dire straits. the song was written by Mark Knopfler about is career with music. about how people called him down for being not "really working" or being a little feminine. although the lyrics a kind of literal, the song can tell you alot about him and the rock star life. he lived life right up. he became crazy rice and famous doing almost nothing and what he loves, "Money for Nothing".
