Daily Boom 80's Throwback: Animotion- 'Room To Move'
It's not that I don't love you, oh no
It's just that I, I've got to have room to move
That's all I need, that's all I ask for
Room to breathe, room to move
That's all I need, that's all I ask for
Give it to me, room to move
Everybody needs, room to move
It's just that I, I've got to have room to move
That's all I need, that's all I ask for
Room to breathe, room to move
That's all I need, that's all I ask for
Give it to me, room to move
Everybody needs, room to move
You guys remember Animotion, right? They had that hit song called "Obsession" that will now probably be stuck in your head for the rest of the day simply because I mentioned it. Well, back in 1989 they also had another hit, "Room To Move" which featured Cynthia Rhodes (ex-wife of Richard Marx) and Paul Engemann on lead vocals. It was featured in the 1988 science-fiction comedy film, My Stepmother Is an Alien and reached number 9 on Billboard's Hot 100.
Believe it or not the lineup on "Room To Move" is almost entirely different from the group that first broke through back in 1984. The original band, led by Astrid Plane and Bill Wadhams, has reunited
in recent years and continues to perform. The lineup that featured Rhodes and Engemann was short lived but they did produce a great song so check it out below!

Daily Boom 80's Throwback: Richard Marx- 'Angelia'
"Memories of you and me
Tumble inside my head
The way that we used to be
Things that we said
No one has ever made me believe so strong
You left me to wonder
How did our love go wrong
Angelia
Where you running to now
Angelia
Got to make you turn around."
I think that Richard Marx's "Angelia" ends up being a bit of a lost hit- not that it wasn't popular. The song went to #4 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1989, it's just that I think some of his other songs have appeared to be more memorable to the masses. But for me, it has always been one of his very best. There's a kind of cool story about it too. Apparently, "Angelia" is Marx's favorite song off of his second album, Repeat Offender and he fashioned it off of the riffs from Def Leppard's Hysteria and Pyromania albums. What's ironic is that after "Angelia" was released Def Leppard then came back and used its' musicality to inspire "Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad".
Pretty cool how the sound came full circle between both artists. I've just always loved the sound and I remember loving the video when it was first released. It just had a different, more grown-up vibe to it that I really still love. Check it out below!

Daily Boom 80's Throwback: Richard Marx - 'Should've Known Better'

"Another sleepless night I can't explain
Somebody said they heard me call your name
The radio won't let you leave my mind
I know it's over but I don't know why
Should've known better
Than to fall in love with you
Now love is just a faded memory
Should've known better
Now I'm a prisoner to this pain
And my heart still aches for you"
There are very few things that I remember about the beginning of eleventh grade. It was 1987 and I was coming off my very first summer of working full time, which meant a lot of extra cash in my pocket. A lot of that cash was spent on music, of course. Richard Marx was getting airplay with "Don't Mean Nothing" which I really didn't love. But the follow-up single I couldn't get enough of. "Should've Known Better". And the video that went with it. Marx wasn't exactly my type at the time. I preferred men with bigger hair, lipstick, and spandex, but I played his debut album into the ground.
Many years later I'll readily admit to listening to Marx quite often and "Should've Known Better" is still my favorite. He has also aged like a fine wine and is far more handsome to me now than in 1987. Daisy Fuentes (his wife since Dec. 2015) is a lucky woman. Plus it's nice to see a celeb couple that genuinely seems happy together. Check out "Should've Known Better". below.

Now love is just a faded memory

Did you know that Richard Marx married Daisy Fuentes late last year after a very hush-hush courtship? Decades before the two linked up Marx found success bouncing between top 40 pop rock hits and ballads. "Should've Known Better" is the second single off of his self-titled debut album from 1987. The song made it to #3 on Billboard's Hot 100 and helped to make Marx a household name.
Lyrically, this is another of those timeless songs that connects with people on any given day. If you woke up this morning wishing that you'd never have fallen in love with someone in particular than this is for you!
