Eternal Flame was released as a single in 1989 (though it was already on their 1988 album, I now realise).

But then, I listen to a lot of J-pop due to watching a lot of anime.<br /><br />Not sure what my own list would consist of; there's a few entries I could pick a song for, but some I honestly have no idea on. There's a good chance I'd echo your choices of "Paint It Black" and "Common People", though. (Minor nitpick: while Ben Folds produced William Shatner's "Has Been" album, the accompanying vocals on "Common People" are from Joe Jackson ("Is She Really Going Out With Him?", "Steppin' Out", etc.), not Ben Folds.)Green Luthorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808312988625889127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-59468249608346875352018-04-30T16:04:39.855-03:002018-04-30T16:04:39.855-03:00I'm usually not one for internet memes, but th...I'm usually not one for internet memes, but this is kinda cool.

Thank you for sharing something so personal.<br /><br />I’m not totally a non-French speaker, but I’m far from fluent (despite 5 years of instruction). The Mass Hysteria has been added to my download list, and I’ll be tracking down more tracks from Zéro Degré Celsius despite not entirely understanding the lyrics offhand.Dehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132196355430345167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-60087454158212422212018-04-30T14:03:23.034-03:002018-04-30T14:03:23.034-03:0001: To be trite, I still like "Golden Brown&q...01: To be trite, I still like "Golden Brown" by the Stranglers. No matter how overused it is in indie films.<br />02: Seriously, 3 is a Magic Number from Schoolhouse Rock (and the attempt by Blind Melon on the tribute album).<br />03: "Time after Time" Cyndi Lauper. At the time, I thought it would be cool to live in an Airstream and break Cyndi Lauper's heart. 80's. MTV was a thing.<br />04: "Why Can't This Be Love" awful song by Van Hagar. But reminds me of a girl I was too obsessed with. I can't take it. It wins.<br />05: "Sister Havana" by Urge Overkill. Can't be played loud enough.<br />06: Not much of a dancer but "Electric Feel" by MGMT can get my feet tapping.<br />07: Ha. The theme from 66 Batman. I pretend my Honda is the Batmobile.<br />08: "Heroin" by James Brown. The last lines are very preachy but not so bad coming from the Godfather of Soul.<br />09: "Fairies Wear Boots" by Black Sabbath. Could be also the 08 but for some reason, this song makes me laugh.<br />10: "Big Boys Don't Cry" by Fergie. Just a kiss off but makes it sound noble. I feel sorry for the guy.<br />11: "Moonage Daydream" by David Bowie. Who can't get enough of pink spacemonkey bird?<br />12: I'm 52 so that's a deep dig but I'm going with "Miss You" by The Rolling Stones. I still haven't had that friend who wants to mess around and fool around like we USED to.<br />13: "King of the Road" by Roger Miller.<br />14: Unmarried by choice so nothing there.<br />15: Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower" (Bob Dylan)<br />16: "Jailbreak" Thin Lizzy<br />17: "Don't Go Breakin' My Heart" Kiki Dee and Elton John<br />18: "Bela Lugosi's Dead" Bauhaus.<br />19: "Do It Again" Steely Dan.<br />20: "In Your Eyes" Peter Gabriel .. sums up one conflicting winter and also used in a classic movie scene.<br />21: "Brandy" The Looking Glass<br />22: "The Pretender" Jackson Browne (get up and do it again, amen).<br />23: I will inflict "There is Light that Never Goes Out" by The Smiths on anyone. <br />24: "Since I Been Lovin' You" Led Zeppelin<br />25: I think most of the list has dead guys in it for me! "Suspicious Minds" Elvis Presley.<br />26: "Mary's Prayer" Danny Wilson<br />27: Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You"<br />28: Jolie Holand "The Lakes of Ponchartrain"<br />29: The Shirelles "Soldier Boy"<br />30: Iggy Pop "The Passenger"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-9999468689423668082018-04-30T13:55:37.477-03:002018-04-30T13:55:37.477-03:00A good start, as I love that early REM stuff, but....A good start, as I love that early REM stuff, but... did you just send the Bangles back in time to the 70s? ;-)Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-33945444037776576552018-04-30T11:48:37.374-03:002018-04-30T11:48:37.374-03:00My own picks, some of which took a while and are k...My own picks, some of which took a while and are kind of a stretch:<br /><br />1: Orange Crush - REM<br />2: 99 Luftballons<br />3: In The Summertime - Thirsty Merc<br />4: Don’t Want You Back - Backstreet Boys<br />5: Still Alive - Ellen McLain<br />6: Carameldansen -Caramel<br />7: Drive - Shannon Noll<br />8: Not if You Were the Last Junkie on Earth - The Dandy Warhols<br />9: I See the Light - Mandy Moore and Zach Levi<br />10: End of the World - David Campbell<br />11: Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran<br />12: Everytime You Cry - John Farnham, with Human Nature<br />13: Eternal Flame - The Bangles<br />14: Suddenly - Angry Anderson<br />15: Eternal Flame - Human Nature<br />16: Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen<br />17: The Ballad of Tom Jones - Space with Cerys Matthews<br />18: Nobody Does it Better - Carly Simon<br />19: Life - Des’ree<br />20: Want You Gone - Ellen McLain<br />21: Hey There Delilah - Plain White T’s<br />22: Suburban Knights theme - Michael Schiciano<br />23: Death Defy - Motor Ace<br />24: Crash and Burn - Savage Garden<br />25: Careless Whisper - George Michael<br />26: From This Moment On - Shania Twain<br />27: Last to Know - Human Nature<br />28: Let it Go - Idina Menzel<br />29: Please Don’t Call Me a Koala Bear - Don Spencer<br />30: Unwell - Matchbox 20Toby’cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-50681918193608539132018-04-30T10:56:34.203-03:002018-04-30T10:56:34.203-03:00I'd actually love to hear how non-English spea...I'd actually love to hear how non-English speakers enjoy/interpret French-language music.<br /><br />I mean, there's a Spanish song on this list, and it doesn't bother me that I don't know the language, but I do admit there are French songs on here that are perhaps more about the text.
