When nobody else was home I'd play "Careless Whisper" whilst hugging a speaker. Oh, the folly of youth. :-) Helen, I am SOOOOOO jealous you saw Wham in concert once let alone three times!<br /><br />I have to say I was pretty partial to Howard Jones too. Another man with great hair. And speaking of great hair... I had a picture of Pat Rafter glued to the inside cover of one of my school books. And who remembers Beau Brady of Days of Our Lives fame?<br /><br />Heh heh!

I'm sorry to say I just missed Duran Duran...and had no idea who a-ha were until my hubby (who is still obesessed with music from the 80's) played me Take on Me. He's still playing various a-ha songs as I write...and has informed me they did a James Bond song too.<br /><br />I can't remember a stand out music crush but I obsessed over Brad Pitt for a long time and *loved* the X-Files and Mulder (-:Anna Hacketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448179667690075629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-49257042386164537392012-02-22T21:20:52.421+11:002012-02-22T21:20:52.421+11:00Tash -- Nothing wrong with playing a little a-ha e...Tash -- Nothing wrong with playing a little a-ha every week!

YouTube is great for older things like that. <br /><br />Further to A-Ha, in NZ we had (well still have since my kids now watch it) a kids program on in the weekend called What Now and I think EVERY Saturday they played A-Ha's Take on Me and Nik Kershaw's Riddle... every weekend without fail!

Greg Brady, yes THE BRADY BUNCH, was my Tween love. I actually fought with my friends because they wanted to have him as a boyfriend, but he was MINE & I was not about to share. Of course, Greg Brady had NO say in the matter what-so-ever. Which kind of made it a perfect relationship.<br /><br />I did see him when he featured in the not so distant past Brady Bunch movies. He was all grown up & looking mighty fine thank you very much.
