It's No Better to Be Safe than Sorry

Song Sketch

Photobucket

Although I was born in the 80s and should know all those songs by heart, oddly enough I didn't discover most of 80s canon until college or after. This song was my college roommate's very favorite song and I truly can't get enough of it either. Especially now that I actually know the lyrics...


What are some of your favorite 80s songs?
If you would like a copy of this song for you, just let me know in a comment! If it's your first request, please leave your email address as well.
P.S. Feel free to follow me! I promise only ever to lead you to bright, sunny places!
P.P.S. I have a brand, new original album out! If you download it and looooove it, please write a lovely review on the site from which you purchased it!

    This is SUCH a great song! I'd love a copy, please!

    Cyndi Lauper and '80s Madonna are awesome too. I love '80s music in general, though!

    Wow, this is great. I love this song, its videoclip is one of the best ever and Morten Harket -the vocalist- is gorgeous (had the opportunity to attend to one of the AHA concerts here in Chile a few years ago).

    My favorite songs from the 80s: any song by Blondie (I know, they're from the late seventies, but whatever) or Madonna ("Holiday", "Into the groove", "Like a prayer", etc).

    Cheers.

    Great song Emma! I have always loved the Bangles. When I was 5 I would sing "Eternal Flame" in the car all of the time :)

    Emma, you're my hero for covering this song! ;)
    I love it! May I have a copy please? For years the ring tone on my phone was a midi file version of "Take on Me." Sometimes when my phone rings I still expect to hear it, ha ha.

    Oh gosh, I have a whole list of favorite 80's I wouldn't know where to begin!

    Pretty much my all time fave song. I need this cover please! I've been a fan since I was wee. Also will proudly say I'm a George Michael and Culture Club fan. No shame here!
