Locomondo - 80s

Lyrics translated in English:

​

80s hey hey hey 80s 2017
80s ahhh we adjust our clocks backwards
80s hey hey hey 80s in 1987
80s ahhh let's go

I feel like a bridge that connects two eras
continuous stress
from a lot of information
look, so many crazy and radical changes
in my mind I confuse the present with the past

I see Conor McGregor getting beat up by Souglakos1
Pepe2 not able to catch up with Dimitris Saravakos3
Adele in a bus
listening to Bony Tyler
YSL high heels and Asics Tiger shoes

The bell is rang by
Mister Miyagi
Rocky gets into the ring
and PSY is not afraid, he looks at them and instead of Gangnam Style
he's whispering to McGuyver's ears

the Eye of the Tiger
and the Night Rider gets Kitt from
Pimp my Ride, yeah
and Steven Tyler asks for an eyeliner
and Cristiano Ronaldo grows a beard like Breitner4

80s hey hey hey 80s
80s ahhh

They call me 80s the style killer
Perm, shoulder pads, Madonna's perfecto
Michael Jackson and Bono
Major Tom that got lost behind Saturn
John Lennon is gone, Yoko Ono is only left

I melt like a Joconda chocolate
I'm the fish that was called Wanda
you say crossfit
I say Aerobic Jane Fonda
the clock stops at the 80s

Today we're alone behind a controller
then the streets were the gym
instead of gaming, hide and seek in the empty building
Benny Hill, Sport Billy and Dukes

From Toyota Hilux to Suzuki Vitara
From Sofia Aliberti5 to Sofia Vergara6
Milo Manara7, the title goes to the Alcazar
Mike la Mare, the shaker of Groquick8

I'm searching
In Athineon, minion
in Minion for Pokemon
squatting with shock man
Lucky Cap man ice cream
iPhone, I'm saying Walk Man
What are you listening to? I say Rock Man
What time is it?
It's eighties o'clock man

80s hey hey hey hey 80s
80s ahhhh

I remember Bleck, Tiramolla, Serafino
Anastasopoulos3 going to Avellino9
the draculinia
pizzinia, pacotinia10
With 7 drachmas
Mickey Mouse, Huey, Dewey, Louie

My dad's listening to Sport Sunday11
Skartados, Hatzipanagis, Mavros
Dinos Kouis12
In my mind I bring Spyros Louis13
talking with Usain Bolt and Carl Lewis

In the morning it was the hair salon
with a Ferry Boat from Rio to Antirrio
Abroad trip only with a passport
Chernobyll Boom!

From the Iron Curtain
to the Smart Window Screen14
Rotary dial phone, no Facebook and Twitter
Wham, Duran Duran and the little kid gloats
he's wearing Strike and he dunks

80s hey hey hey 80s
80s ahhhh

You got into Autokinisi15
you got out in Tomorrowland
you don't know where you belong
every attempt to adjust to the conditions
is like Van Damme's split on the trucks

you are out with some hipster groups
now... sushi, beard,
but as a kid you were asking for an
afrolex pillow
in the Avenue, in the old Karaiskakis

I'm the store owners cashbook in the era of spread
Retsina Malamatina and Crystal Meth
Inside the Procrustes bed
I watch Lana del Rey DJ at the Fouskoi studio

I am a Lada in a Greece full of hybrids
the team's badge between the sponsors
I'm a PhD professor in generation gap
TV Plasma, black and white screen

From Tom and Jerry
to Denery's vision
but now how is the foreign music gonna reach our country?
Where is Manina, where is the Afisorama
Where is Giorgos Goutis from Musicorama16?

Now we're apart with our faces down
Then we were hugging with Kabouris free throws17
we forgot our differences for a while
with Galis, Giannakis18
and Phillipos Syrigos' voice19
to echo in our great moment

(''The Greek team are the champions of Europe'')

80s hey hey hey 80s
-dedicated
....to those that lived in the 80s
....to the viewers of a relentless change 80s
....a generation that pays the debts of the 80s
....now that all the great figures of the 80s are leaving one by one
....the gay, the by, the trans and the straight of the 80s
....with the BMXs and the Roller Skates of the 80s.

Annie - Anthonio (Berlin Breakdown Version)

I discovered this song while watching a movie (The Guest) and I immediately fell in love with it. I used it in Effifestivalen, although I was hesitating to do so, because I was planning to send it in NSC one day, but I couldn't resist. ​

 

[Ana Raquel]

Even though I am in the minority who prefers the original mix YAAAAASSSSSSS Annie again in NSC

Evangelia - Fotiá

Oussou Empire is bringing NSC 187 on fire!​

 

[CypriotGirl]

After receiving a PQ spot, I decided to send one of my favorite Greek songs from the 2010's decade. I've always wanted to send it in NSC, and I think this time is the best to send it, as I have no idea what response will get in NSC.

Pavlina Voulgaraki & Babis Stokas - Lavirinthoi

 

[Nicholas123]

When i sent Pavlina in WV with "Ferta mou ola piso" i flopped so bad. :/ Hopefully she will be more appreciated here!

Just wondering. Our song for Oussou Empire in the Effifestivalen-3 received 0 points from you... What's the matter? Was it much worse than this song?

NBS for Oussou Empire:
Evangelia - Páme Páme

I always wanted to make a music video that captures the essence of what it felt like for me to spend every summer growing up in Crete. Last summer I finally ...

TBH I liked most songs others sent to me in Effifestivalen. I kinda like "Pame Pame" but not that much. I wouldn't send it in a contest. "Fotia", on the other hand, is a song I adored from first time I listened to it. It doesn't mean that I send a song from an artist, then I like all songs from that artist. Usually, I like only few songs by each artist, with some exceptions. Sometimes I send artists that I like only one song from them (like Maruv, I dislike most of her songs, but I sent a song of her in WLSC that I love, and it's the only one from her I like).

Páme Páme is not as pops as Fotia, and I am sad to see if this singer eventually loses her originality and turns into thousands of ordinary Greek pop-singers, which I absolutely do not distinguish. Thanks for the answer, anyway.

I believe the opposite. "Pame Pame" sounds typical to me, and "Fotia" is more original IMO.

Oh, I wasn't in WV back then because I don't remember it. Strange, as that song sounds WV-friendly to me, but it depends on the time you sent it as well. WV trends come and go. NSC is a bit more unpredictable, and I was afraid to send it because I think most entechno music doesn't have much appeal in forum contests, so I'm sending it now that I have a PQ spot!

Indeed you weren't.

I thought so too, it still strikes me as a song suitable for WV, but my guessing powers are off most of the times.

Tinchey had told me back then to send it in NSC.

Good luck !

[Nicholas123]

Oh, i had the same version of the song in my WV list... I guess i have to write it off...

Wow, this has to be a good thing because your choices are quite successful both in NSC and WV (especially your suggestions), unlike mine (with few exceptions)!

You can always send the original in WV. I considered it for NSC before this one was released.
