Welcome back my Meccaites! For this week's Mecca Monday game, we're going to flash back with some of my favorite songs from the 80's I put on my in-store CD's. Let's make this a truly 80's occasion! Frank can put on his parachute pants, melly can get into her neon colored workout clothes, TBone can get a neck full of gold and some shoes with no laces... oh, and you look good in your Boy George outfit, Esto! Er, excuse me a minute...

Can I get customer assistance to the bulk eyeliner aisle please.....

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist....

1. What I've got's full stock
Of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how I can't explain

2. There's a boy I know, he's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above
Ooh I lose control, can't seem to get enough
When I wake from dreaming, tell me is it really love

3. Dream baby dream
Of all that's come and going
And you will find out in the end
There really is,
There really is no difference

4. Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

5. The impression that you sell
Passes in and out like a scent
But the long face that you see comes from living close
To your fears

6. Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands

7. We remain tender together
If not so in love
And it's not so wrong; we're only human after all

8. Spreading rumors
So far from true
Dragged up from the underworld
Just like some precious pearl

9. Oh, I've been sad
And have walked bitter streets alone
And come morning
There's a good wind to blow me home

10. Oh the things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

11. And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's making sure she is not dreaming

12. I took it for granted
but how was I to know
That you'd be lettin' go

And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

Passes in and out like a scent
But the long face that you see comes from living close
To your fears

Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands

And it's not so wrong; we're only human after all

Something About You - Level 42

So far from true
Dragged up from the underworld

And have walked bitter streets alone
And come morning
There's a good wind to blow me home

The Finer Things - Steve Winwood

Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

11. And she was lying in the grass
And she could hear the highway breathing
And she could see a nearby factory
She's making sure she is not dreaming

And She Was - Talking Heads

but how was I to know
That you'd be lettin' go

Gimme A Squiggly

Welcome back my Meccaites! For this week's Mecca Monday game, we're going to flash back with some of my favorite songs from the 80's I put on my in-store CD's. Let's make this a truly 80's occasion! Frank can put on his parachute pants, melly can get into her neon colored workout clothes, TBone can get a neck full of gold and some shoes with no laces... oh, and you look good in your Boy George outfit, Esto! Er, excuse me a minute...

Can I get customer assistance to the bulk eyeliner aisle please.....

1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist....

1. What I've got's full stock
Of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how I can't explain

"You Make My Dreams" - Hall & Oates

2. There's a boy I know, he's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above
Ooh I lose control, can't seem to get enough
When I wake from dreaming, tell me is it really love

"How Will I Know?" - Whitney Houston

3. Dream baby dream
Of all that's come and going
And you will find out in the end
There really is,
There really is no difference

don't remember these lyrics at all...I googled them after posting my answers to see what it was..most of the hits on it were crediting Hilary Duff as the artist..could it be this verse was only added for the remake..or possibly...if I'm recalling correctly, the band may have recorded this on a small indie label before getting the major label deal, so maybe this lyric was on an early version..I also looked the song up on a couple of lyrics sites and did not see this verse included. I thought about mentioning this, but the lack of spoiler-blocking ability
and a sense of "for Heaven's Sake, you got all of the other ones, don't be a whiner" kept me from doing so. Perhaps someone else might know the origin of this verse?

I heard Hilary in my head when I heard the lyrics, but I just assumed the Gogos did that verse on an album version or something. The Duff girls did it either on the soundtrack for Cinderella Story, or as a companion piece when the movie came out. I remember the video pretty clearly.

Reading about it on Songfacts, the Gogos (and Fun Boy Three) version is a little darker and less fun when you know the backstory. Jane Wiedlin says it's about her and Terry Hall's affair, which might explain the Duffs going away from some of the original lyrics, too.

The (2:47) version from "Beauty and the Beat" does not include them. They may have been cut for time. The Go-go's seem to have messed around quite a bit with the ordering and inclusion of the lyrics of this song, but seem to favor them when performing live.

This seems to match the "Beauty and the Beat" version:

They included the lyrics in question as far back as 1981 (:47 mark):

Here's one from a show I attended in 1984 (:55 mark)

Central Park show in 2001 (1:03 mark)
