*** This week we look at our favourite 80s singalongs from Don't Stop Believing to Living On A Prayer ->
Music connects us all together. There is a magic that comes over us when we sing songs together that we truly love. For this the 1980s is still amazing as there are SO many awesome songs to sing along to!
As soon as a classic like DON'T STOP BELIEVING starts playing, more often than not a group will start to form and by the time the song hits the chorus, hands are in the air as voices sing out loud in chorus.
It is a beautiful sight when you see friends and families hand in hand, sharing the emotion of songs that they all have loved. And the 80s are one of the greatest decades for this because of their wide-ranging appeal and accessibility to people both young and old.
Maybe you heard these 80s tunes first from a movie like SING 2, maybe a TV show like SCHITT'S CREEK or maybe a musical like ROCK OF AGES. But chances are you heard them and know enough of the lyrics to sing them passionately at the top of your lungs!
This week we take a deep dive into 40 of our favourites from this amazing decade. Grab your bangles and your leather jackets, it's time for us to go on a radical 80s adventure together!
