| Aw! O.o I LOVE Music Madness on Mondays!! Heck, I just didn't know any songs for this category . . . but I've loved and submitted for all of the others (I think?)! So sad to see it go away. It's been fun seeing what people like to listen to - especially when it's something *I* listen to as well! :D I mean, if you want ME to submit MOAR songs . . . ;) Funny enough I recognize some of these - Funky Town, Play that Funky Music, Achy Breaky Heart (my mom is the country listener in the fam and I recall her liking it quite a bit LOL), Come on Eileen (which I HAVE heard before - but a Celtic band played it - it was either the Elders or Gaelic Storm ... I'd have to look it up), and of course I recognize Love is Like Oxygen but I had NO Idea who that band was. LOL Also, I love Children of the Sun. That's just . . . neat. :D *rolls all over Music Madness and fuzzles it with luffs* ^.^ |

| September will be a difficult month for me as mondays will be filled with appointments and such. Perhaps we start up again in October? | ||
| mrsgunsage | Aug 20, 2012 6:21 pm | |
| I hope we can restart later, I look forward to this every week. :( | ||
| Mittenmon | Aug 20, 2012 6:32 pm | |
| Oh no! I'm so sad this is the last installment. It was a lot of fun! I do hope you will do this again soon. Maybe monthly instead of weekly? I know I really enjoyed reading and participating. the prizes were amazing too! There was one left that I still wanted...lolol | ||
| Zhavea | Aug 20, 2012 6:44 pm | |
| Oh man, "Funky Town" was one of my personal oldies favorite! Grew up hearing it whenever my mom was feeling.... well.... funky. xD And "Play that Funky Music" was a popular song with the marching band and my high school, plus it's just so downright catchy. I can never resist dancing whenever I hear it. So sad to hear this is the last installment for a while. Would LOVE to see it return, maybe make a summer-only thing out of it? I would definitely make a better attempt to try to partake in it more. |

| I have actually heard ALL of the songs at the top and love them all, I have most of them on CD and still listen to them all the time! Didn't realize I knew the Head East song though until I started playing it, hadn't heard the other one before, but I liked it. Hadn't heard Love is Like Oxygen before, but I have heard their song Fox on the Run, love it! Never heard any of your other picks either Alex, but I liked them all, most of them remind me of when I was a kid. It's the kind of stuff my parents listened to and I loved it! Bummer that this is ending, I didn't always send in suggestions or comment, but I always looked forward to seeing the top picks and finding some new stuff I liked! I will be keeping my fingers crossed that it comes back in the future! XD |

| It surprises me a bit that I've actually listened to nearly all of those songs on the top part of the list. Must listen to the ones I haven't heard. The majority are totally awesome in my opinion, though. :D And, awh. I wish I would have participated more previously for this madness of the music. Oh well, I suppose. :/ |

| Panthera | Aug 20, 2012 7:50 pm | |
| It was definately fun and look forward to the possibility of a return!!!! :D | ||
| kidkeeper | Aug 20, 2012 8:07 pm | |
| i have heard some of theses as well, cant wait for it to return , i have enjoyed listening to new music as most of what i hear is rock so broadening my music knowlege has been awesome!! Good luck with all the appt in sept. its always a busy month :) | ||

| Oh noes! The last one! I really enjoyed these. My favorite song out of these was 'Achy Breaky Heart', mainly because we played this song in band once and our director fell of his podium. It was hilarious, and he made such a loud noise a bunch of other teachers came running to make sure we hadn't hurt ourselves. | ||
| WildLeaf | Aug 20, 2012 10:07 pm | |
| I loved achy breaks heart. My sister and I used to do a line dance to it when we were younger. Maybe one day we will dance it again. I hope that you continue to do this later, I loved hearing everyone's favorites. Maybe when you start up again you can do one of user-created covers and user-created songs. | ||
| Kami Mi Ke Neko | Aug 20, 2012 11:56 pm | |
| I am happy to hear that it might come back! *fuzzles the commentator's box* :D Pleeeease bring it back. ^.^ It's so much fun! :D | ||

| It was a blast listening to all the music. This is definitely a "do over." Sad to see it go. Congrats to all the winners ^_^! | ||

| I'm surprised there weren't many entries. HOw hard is it to google "one hit wonders"? lol My first choice wasnt actually used - it was Take On Me by A-Ha - not only did I love the song - I LOVED the film clip! I do love Come On Eileen though - it's just a happy cheeky song. Sweet are NOT one hit wonders!! They were my favourite group (after Abba of course) when I was a kid! What about Ballroom Blitz and Fox on the Run??? Maybe you crazy people in the US didnt appreciate them? Billy Thorpe is a member of the Australia Recording Industry Music Hall of Fame. He's well known here. His most well known song here is probably "Most People I Know Think That I'm Crazy" I think Billy Ray Cyrus has had quite a few country music hits - but he sure has only had Achey Breaky Heart in Australia - I think it was number 1 here. Monday Music Madness might be going into hiatus but there's NOTHING to stop people sharing their favourite songs on the forums!! |

| Ha! I hadn't heard 'In the Middle of the Night' in years. I haven't been on much lately, or I would have submitted 'Teenage Dirtbag' as my favourite one hit wonder. Go Wheatus! | ||

| I've had lots of wonderful memories brought back from some of these songs and from all the "Monday Music Madness" installations. Want to thank everyone for their contributions! Hugs to everyone! mrsgunsage , recommended one of my all time favorites with Blind Melons No Rain! I used to play that over and over again! i was thinking Not sure on the names, "right said fred"? with "Im too sexy", and who sang "you spin me"?(right round baby)wasn't sure about their one time wonderness but memorable just the same...lol So many goodies! Thanks again!! | ||
| punka | Aug 21, 2012 11:58 am | |

| I scrolled down the list of the songs and 'Funky Town' sounded familier. I listened to it and brought back many memories. It has a fun feel to it and now I am glad I know who sings it, Lipps Inc! |

| Sad to see this go even though I didn't contribute to the last few including my own suggested category. I love the idea of bringing it back as a once a month feature as mentioned above. So busy lately with work and getting ready to go on a long awaited vacation, Orlando FL for Star Wars Celebration VI. Our flight leaves tomorow morning bright and early. :D Going to give my pumas some attention before I leave <3 This last category was a fun one. I know most, maybe even all of the suggested songs. Yours I'm not sure on and can't listen since hubby is already sleeping. He worked last night and only had a nap this morning before we finished last minute travel prep. I might even remember to backtrack and listen when we get back next week hehe. |

| PhantomFire | Aug 25, 2012 8:12 pm | |
| I will bring this back in October :) September is impossible for me as it is a VERY full schedule, but.. I've had a lot of messages asking for it to return, so... Look for it in October! I'll announce the category towards the end of September. | ||
| sienna77 | Aug 26, 2012 11:10 am | |
| YAY, It's coming back! XD *throws confetti* |

| I must some of these I had never heard and some like "Play that funky Music" and "Funky Town" really brought back some memories. I love "Black Velvet" It is one of my favorite songs..so soulful and emotional. As for Billy Ray, what can you say? "Achy Breaky Heart" is the song everyone remembers but he actually had some other decent songs. When my daughter was little she had a huge crush on him so we went to a couple of his concerts...he really put on a good one. I am so happy to hear that you will be back in October. I didn't always get to or remember to post but I really did enjoy hearing all the different types of music that I had not heard of before. |
