And What Music did we listen to in 1980?

( EN / DE ) For this Three Tune Tuesday, one thing immediately came to mind, of course. My WE post about the student exchange with France in 1980 also reminded me that I was given a vinyl single by my host family as a farewell gift. It was one of the hits of that time:
Für diesen Three Tune Tuesday kam mir natürlich sofot eines in den Sinn. Mein WE Post über den Schüleraustausch mit Frankreich im Jahr 1980 erinnerte mich auch daran,, dass ich damals zum Abschied eine Vinyl Single von meiner Gastfamilie geschenkt bekam. Es war einer der Hits dieser Zeit:

TTT1 - Lipps Inc - FUNKYTOWN

These were still very unusual sounds for our ears at that time and somehow there was also a bit of rebellion and change to the times and sounds of the 70s in them. The dawn of a new era.
Das waren damals noch sehr ungewöhnliche Töne für unsere Ohren und irgendwie lag darinnen auch ein wenig Rebbelion und Veränderung zu den Zeiten und Tönen der 70er Jahre. Der Anbruch einer neuen Zeit.


Lipps Inc. - Funkytown (1980)

TTT2 - Lio - AMOUREUX SOLITAIRES

Haha, okay, that's not quite the great musical masterpiece. To be honest, I had already completely forgotten about the song, but..:
Out of curiosity I googled it, it was the number one hit in France in autumn 1980, during our three-week school trip! And it's crazy how familiar the song is to me. It's also an incredible catchy tune ;-) have fun listening!

Haha, okay, das ist jetzt nicht so ganz das große musikalische Meisterwerk. Ehrlich gesagt hatte ich den Song schon total vergessen, aber:
Aus Neugierde habe ich gegoogelt, war im Herbst 1980, zu unserem dreiwöchigen Schulausflug der Nummer Eins Hit in Frankreich war! Und es ist verrückt, wie vertraut mir der Song ist. Ausserdem ein unglaublicher Ohrwurm ;-) viel Spass beim Hören!


Lio - Amoureux Solitaires (Clip Officiel)

TTT3 - John Lennon - STARTING OVER

Now, unfortunately, we come to a very sad event in music history. While this song was already played everywhere on the radio during our time in southern France, it only achieved its fame a month after our return to Graz.
On 8 December 1980, John Lennon was shot dead in New York. This news shook us all, because he was already very popular.

Jetzt kommen wir leider zu einem sehr traurigen Ereignis der Musikgeschichte. Während dieser Song schon zu unserer Zeit in Südfankreich überall im Radio gespielt wurde, so erlangte er seinen Ruhm erst einen Monat nach unserer Rückkehr nach Graz.
Am 8. Dezember 1980 wurde John Lennon in New York erschossen. Diese Nachricht erschütterte uns alle, denn er war schon sehr beliebt.

And "Starting Over" stormed the charts as a result and will forever be associated with that time for me. Because the radios played the song non-stop.
Und "Starting Over" stürmte daraufhin die Charts und wird für mich für immer mit dieser Zeit verbunden sein. Denn die Radios spielten den Song ununterbrochen.

This was my ThreeTunesTuesday post for @ablaze and of course I hope you liked the tunes :-) Yours, B.

The above image shows a part of your post that you might not want it to look that way (or PeakD bug makes it look that way). Thanks for the "DJing" :)

What I do to avoid such imperfections is to put YT links alone on a single sentence (I don't imply you don't, just a tip). You are welcome.

Oh my goodness, Funkytown. I was still living in Calgary at the time. My friends and I used to go to a pizza place called, interestingly enough, "The Place," which had a jukebox with that record in it. I think we may have worn it out.

Wow, a great little journey of the mind back to 1980, admittedly before I was born, but I think you have picked some catchy and fun songs here. Starting Over by John Lennon is a classic, and sounds like a more modern song than 1980 to my ears.
