Lips I love the 80′s Announced
Yes, news could not be more dreaded than a leap back into the 80′s with images of ‘Thacher’s Britian’, NFL sized shoulder pads on female clothing, the hair.(omg the hair! and then the lack of it) Still the good news is that while those things are dead or almost dead; the music isn’t. In fact some of its legendary. So to just pick a few of the songs listed for Lips: I love the 80′s are titles like ‘Huey Lewis & The News – The Power of Love’ from the equally famous Back to the Future Part 1, Duran Duran’s “Rio”, Bowie’s “Let’s Dance”, The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star”, Frankie Goes to Hollywood “Relax” & Erasure’s “A Little Respect” but to name a few. However an omission of any Queen songs is a travesty, but it is most likely a licensing issue. With our review of Lips: Greatest Hits, coming later this week you can find the full setlist, along with the full press release below:.
“‘Lips: I Love The 80s’, the latest title in the “Lips” franchise exclusive to Xbox 360 takes us back to a time when hair was big and shoulder pads were bigger! It’ll be grooving off the shelves from 2nd April with a retro-cool selection of your nostalgic 80s favourites that will see players fighting for the mic. The game includes 40 of the most memorable tracks of the 80s including iconic hits like Spandau Ballet’s Gold, Kim Carnes’ Bette Davis Eyes, and the feel-good classic Walking On Sunshine by Katrina & The Waves.
So put on some neon legwarmers, pull on some tight jeans, and get ready to sing like you’re back in the era that style forgot, but that music loves!
