Flopcast 639: Cruel Summer Songs of the 80s

Flopcast 639 Go Gos Vacation

Flopcast episode 639! As the Hit Parade podcast recently taught us, each year Billboard declares an official “Song of the Summer” based on chart performance. We’re taking a more subjective approach, and choosing which songs we most associate with each summer of the 1980s. Of course you’ll find some Go-Go’s and some Kenny Loggins on our list (come on, it’s us), but perhaps we’ll surprise you with a choice or two. And which songs would you pick? What reminds you of the summer of 1984, as you biked through the heat to the arcade in search of Donkey Kong Junior? (Is it Huey Lewis? It’s probably Huey Lewis.) Let us know! And prepare for next week, when we’ll take on the summer songs of the 1990s. It’ll be intense.
