Totally tubular: All '80s music videos, all holiday weekend!
VH1 Classic is playing the '80s Videos: A to Z all Memorial Day weekend, thus ensuring there is absolutely no reason for any of us to leave the couch.
I love weekend specials like this, mainly because you get really odd pairings like Poison's Every Rose Has Its Thorn followed by Wang Chung's Everyone Have Fun Tonight.
Of course, if you stuck with music that just reminded us of summer ...
Don't forget our epic podcast about the music and movies of the summer. It's my absolute favorite episode of Stuck in the '80s.
Relive the music, movies and culture of the greatest decade ever with Times online editor Steve Spears. A teen during the decade, Steve is obsessed with everything from Duran Duran to Journey, John Hughes to John Cusack, and parachute pants to Reaganomics.
E-mail Steve Spears:
Oh, it's a GREAT summer song. The whole Heartbreak City album feels summerish to me.

Love the Cars. I always had a thing for those two in the purple dresses. I think they were bad girls. Of course I was 15 or 16 when this came out, and my imagination could've just been running wild.

LOVE this Cars song! Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks this is a "summer" song.
