I am so afraid of living in oblivion
Once again, I was thinking about some one-"hit" wonders from my high school days, and I have to put "hit" in quotes because many of the songs I remember were never hits. Rather, they were songs that my alternateen friends and I latched onto.
So today, I pay tribute to two songs that I listened to incessantly when I was a junior in high school.
"Living in Oblivion" by Anything Box
I would say that for about a two-month period, I listened to this song everyday. It is very cheesy and synth-poppy, but it brings back a flood of memories of high school.
"Forever Young" by Alphaville
Oh, did I say that last song was cheesy? Then this is Velveeta processed cheese food product. I would have been happier not remembering what these guys looked like.
Epilogue:
I still enjoy the Anything Box song, but "Forever Young" is just not good*. I don't know what I was thinking.
*Addendum: I do like the song, but the video is just god awful. I have to try to get the video out of my head in order to go back to enjoying the song.

There is a channel on Sirius radio called "First Wave" which consists of of 80's alternative, and I hear "Forever Young" on it all the time.
i LOVE forever younf. and im really not being sarcastic or funny or anything.
I really like it to, but the video really takes something away from it!
Forever Young was my high school class song...but for some reason it was the class song every year at that school. I would have been happy if we had chosen "Eternal Flame" by the Bangles because everyone at my high school lost their virginity to that song--much more appropriate.
My high school class song was also a hit from the '80s: "The Final Countdown."
Forever Young reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite.
Oh, those were the days.
