I've heard that they're gonna kill MTV by the end of '25. So sad. I bring a little piece of my personal memories here which I won't forget... MTV was my religious kinda thing. Non-stop playing TV channel, since my tough puberty hit me.

Weirdly accurate and very Mtv 80s playlist taken directly from what is playing at the car dealership while I wait for an emissions inspection

The Conga - Gloria Estefan

Love Shack - The B-52s

Raspberry Beret - Prince

Tell Her About It - Billy Joel

Come Go With Me - Exposé

Sunglasses at Night - Cory Hart

Relax - Frankie Goes to Hollywood

Dancing on the Ceiling - Lionel Richie

Another One Bites the Dust - Queen

So Emotional - Whitney Houston

Small Town - John Cougar Mellencamp

I’ll Tumble 4 Ya - Culture Club

Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

Any Way You Want It - Journey

At which point the inspection guy had gotten back from lunch and checked out my car.

This playlist does not constitute a continuing enjoyment of any of these songs. But I jammed to pretty much all of them when they came out. Too many of them just bring back bad memories now. I just couldn’t get over the way they were playing the one (or one of a few) big song by every artist.
