Re: 80,s tunes for party

A nice easy one and one I'm sure you'll remember is Only You by Yazoo. It's on Chordie somewhere.

Summer of 69 is a classic and quite easy to master.

Dancing Queen by ABBA is a goody but it's more 70's

Friday I'm in Love by The Cure

Perfect Day by Lou Reed

In fact if you go to the Public Books section and do a search for alvee33 you'll find my songbooks. There's more than a few 80's songs in there. I've edited most of them but some are a bit rough and may need tweaking. Have a look.

Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??

Jane Says, by Jane's Addiction

About a Girl, by Nirvana

neither are for dancing...but they are wicked easy to play.
