My favorite genre of music is eighties music. Although I personally don't have much information on it, I have several links that might help.
A pretty extensive archive of lyrics of songs from the eighties. I was a little disgruntled, though, to discover that the only Berlin song in this archive is Take My Breath Away, which is probably my least favorite of their songs. Otherwise, a good source of lyrics.
This page has a lot of information on eighties music.
This has to be the most comprehensive web site concerning the eighties. It includes information on both music and movies, along with other aspects of the decade.
Unfortunately, all I can do is point you in the direction of people who know more than I do about cartoons. Here are some links that I strongly advise looking into:
This site has a list of links to other sites about specific cartoons.
The owner of this site is trying to bring back a lot of the cartoons from the eighties. The site itself is an excellent source of MIDI files.
A must-see for any transformer fan.
caricatures of long ago
oh they were young and oh so sweet
down beyond the boulevard
knock on doors and empty halls
and still sometimes remember
the masquerade's forever
when you see the price they paid
i'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
the reeling figurtes pass on by
like ghosts in some forgotten play
beneath the black and empty sky
music plays and figures dance
with partners chosen by chance
and still some times remember
the masquerade's forever
they reached for tomorrow
but tomorrows, more of the same
so they reached for tomorrow
but tomorrow never came
when you hear the price they paid
i'm sure you'll come and join the masquerade
one by one and two by two
past eight by tens in shattered frames
the players try to leave the room
frantic puppets on a string
and all the while the music sings
and still sometimes remember
the masquerade's forever
Although Berlin is my favorite band--or at least at this moment--I want to spend more time and effort on the more nerdy aspects of my page. For a more comprehensive web site dedicated to Berlin, go here.
