Best Songs of the 80's

Pet Shop Boys - Opportunities (1986)

 

[CellarDweller]

Know the tune and the US version of the LP very well (played the hell out of that record back in the day - still have it in my closet with all my other vinyl). But damn, haven't seen that video in 36 or 37 yrs since it got very brief play on MTV at the time. One of my favorite cuts on that LP was "Das Land Der Elephant" (however you spell it) off the German vocal stuff on Side 2.

Hello dskodj. I was a huge Nena fan back in the day (well, I still am). Did you ever hear any of the music off their second CD? It came out in 1985 and was called "It's All In The Game". Here is the title track. I couldn't embed a video, as it was part of a playlist, but the link below will take you to the track.
