Poetry Contest

Get out your spandex, purple eyeshadow and Steve Perry wigs, because the 1980's are here again!
Write a poem or prose about the 1980's, any style, length, no collabs, enter as often as you want, anything about the 80's, but here's the catch:  in your piece, you'll somehow have to reference/mention a song from that time period which I'll give you once you sign up.

So if you want to join in, post here and I'll put my iPod on shuffle and give you the first 80's song that comes up---don't worry, my iPod doesn't go much past 1989!

Have fun!

Ok!  Thanks guys--

For Hades, the iPod comes up with "Bittersweet" by the Hoodoo Gurus  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kk3_FsqH3w

And for Petit, I have no Joan Jett on the iPod, unfortunately, but what came up for you is "Mission of Mercy"  by The Motels

Hey, I have tons of cool alternative stuff on my iPod, but Joan's cool, too.  Ever see the Ladies of the 80's Barbie collection?
