This roller rink disco ball thread is inspired by a discussion i just had with a couple of the DJs from the 80's Neon Dance thread:
Basically, this Saturday night we are holding an '80's Rewind Roller Skating Extravaganza' and once again you're the DJs. So close your eyes for a moment and start thinking about the tunes you want to include for an incredible night of cute flirtation and hopefully a bit of romance with someone special.
So DJs .. let's each spin two tunes and pass it to the next DJ with the hopes of reminding everyone of how much fun it would have been at a roller rink in the 80's.
I'm gonna try to get this skate party started with:
Who's up next? .. cause I'm off to start a freaking fire with someone amazingly special!

Sweet! Another chance to spin! you know I love this game Val...so sure, I'm up for another round. Great opening jams there my friend. Lovin' the beats. Here's 2 classics that I think will keep the groove flowin'...
Madonna - True Blue ..not a slow couple skate, but definitely one to skate to while holding hands with your crush. Play Posted by Ronnie (Member # 465) on :
gaaahh Pyro! haha you beat me by a hair, but luckily we posted different debbie deb songs haha.
great picks, you guys!
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Pyro.. those are both wicked tunes.. I should've known you would have Debbie Deb in your collection.. I was totally saving it for round two!
Wow.. Ronnie has just snuck into the DJ booth and Debbie Deb back to back is where it's at it appears.
This thread is only six tunes deep and I'm already lacing up my skates extra tight. Posted by The Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
haha..sorry ronnie...didn't mean to nudge you out like that. But can you ever go wrong with multiple Debbie Deb tracks? I think not. Very nice choice in throwin some Madonna in there too I might add
Yup, this is definitely fixing to be another totally awesome playlist of tunes here.

pyro - double debbie deb is never a bad thing...get your quads out, and let's roll. Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
I know its not off this album, but this pic had the nice neon feel to it.
One of my favs then to skate too...I requested it many times! Play Posted by The Good Package (Member # 9492) on :

We got some great upbeat jams here..but I think it's time to slow things down a little. So here are a couple slower jams to gracefully roll about to...
Veronica, i love the Stevie B song! i used to have that cassette tape and that song reminds me of 4th grade big time haha... played that one out. Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Okay.. I'm back in the booth.. sorry everyone.. my experience with someone special actually caused me to burst into flames last night and it took most of today to extinguish me.
So I'm digging deep into my roller boogie vault because the DJs are bringing it strong on this thread that has turned into 80's awesomeness.
Thanks everyone.. this thread is wicked! Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
Just backing up my Dire Straits choice:
Yes, I think it works: I don't see how it's out of place if you are familiar with the song. Yes if I played one of their rockier songs it would but I think Skateaway is fine, and is about roller skating - roller girl.
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Muffy.. I know music isn't your thing really, but you just spun two awesome tracks! I'm a huge fan of The Flirts, but Buffalo Stance definitely makes me think of skate time.
Ronnie.. They're Playing Our Song! that is just a hidden gem of a track by Trinere. I've been listening to it all morning. It reminds of 4 grade even though it didn't even exist then. ha
Veronica.. you nailed it with Stevie B. - I Wanna Be The One.. great tune.

My choice is looking better already. Until I bought Making Movies on Vinyl I always thought the song was called Roller Girl.
Posted by Ronnie (Member # 465) on :
Jay Lee's pick of Poplock is awesome. i love 80's funk!
"now wait a minuuuuuute" haha
Posted by The Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
well..this thread has certainly given me a Disco Overload...i foresee myself listening to quite a bit of angry industrial rock and metal to compensate after this..lol.
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Thanks to all the DJs that partcipated in this thread. Brought back a ton of cool memories. Such awesome tunes! Posted by Ronnie (Member # 465) on :
well, this and Bamersy's Xanadu thread both made me want to go back in time and skate again!
