Best Song of the 80's Tek Towers Cup 1 -Round 1/Game 1
Against my better judgement i'm gonna put my heid on the chopping block and have an 80's song Cup.
Just to get this in nice and early this is Cup 1....Numero Uno..the first..the original.
Meaning there will be another one (at least one).
I say this to pre-empt the inevitable 'where the hell was Cyndi Lauper? or 'canne believe 'Pump Up the Volume wasnae in it ffs Tek'.
Anyway 4 numbers fae 1 tae 64 please.

NWA - Straight Outta Compton
Van Halen - Jump a great song but it better not get played at the League Cup final. Played before the LC final Vs Celtic '97 and played before penalty shootout in 2008 LC final vs Oldco. Bad omen.

Creepy.

Re: Best Song of the 80's Tek Towers Cup 1 -Round 1/Game 1
Tainted Love fir me !
Don't know if everybody knows this but Marc Almond worked in the cloakroom at a club in Leeds, anyway they did Northern Soul nights there and he loved the original version by Gloria Jones (my favourite version)
Gloria Jones lived with Marc Bolan and they had a son Rolan Bolan together, unfortunately she was driving the mini the night he died in a crash (rip)
We don't give a damn what the others say
We'll cheer on United all the way
For we are the Terrors of Tannadice
