If atheism were a song from the 80's which one would it be?

Question

My vote: It's My life (Talk Talk)

Answer 1

lol another one bites the dust!! LMAO

Answer 2

Pappa Don't Preach

Answer 3

Something by Tears For Fears. I'm thinkin 'Mad World'.

Actually, Whip It by Devo. Just because. Those amazing hats.

Answer 4

Well, for religion, it would be "Everybody Wants To Rule The World", by Tears For Fears.

For atheism, I would suggest Loverboy's "Turn Me Loose", The Spoon's "Tell No Lies", Rational Youth's "No More And No Less" and Supertramp's "The Logical Song".  

Answer 5

For the life of me, I can't think of a good New wave song that hasn't been mentioned that would fit, so how about "We're Not Gonna Take It"

But if the DJ could play 88 Lines About 44 Women, I'd be grateful.

Answer 6

I swear some people are just listing the first 80s pop song they can think of off the top of their head.

Anyway, I'd say:

Rush - "Show Don't Tell".  As the chorus goes, "Show me, don't tell me".  Rest of the lyrics are great too.  A song all about freethought:

Answer 7

We are going to just go ahead and pretend you meant "1970s" when you said "80s". It makes my song all the better.

I, as a devout pastafarian, would have to dedicate "Jesus Christ Superstar".

Answer 8

The song "Im a stupid ignorant freak who can't admit someone is more powerful than me".

Answer 9

Hmmm, can't think of one. Something to do with freedom and rights would be good.

Answer 10

How about "There'll Be A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight."

Oh, sorry.  I'll bet you meant the 1980's.

Answer 11

Papa Don't Preach - Madonna

Answer 12

"All I Need Is a Miracle," Mike and the Mechanics

OR....

"Jesus He Knows Me"--Genesis

EDIT--Sorry...I was thinking of Christianity as an 80's song when I wrote "Jesus He Knows Me."

Answer 13

Leper Messiah--Metallica

Answer 14

Losing my religion REM

Answer 15

Walk this way... - Aerosmith

Answer 16

Safety Dance

Answer 17

"relax" by frankie goes to hollywood.

Answer 18

Queen - I Want To Break Free

"I want to break free from your life, you're so self satisfied, I don't need you!"

Hmm, although now I come to think of it, the last line is a little Ironic

"God knows, I've got to make it on my own"

:-)

Answer 19

"Show me the way" by Styx.  Or was that the 70s?  It's all a blur.
