In order to stay immersed in the 80's, I'm gonna try to post a daily 80's video. If you want to stay connected to the 80's I suggest you like subscribe to D80sV so you can get your daily dose of the 80's. Enjoy the 80's videos!

D80sV #115: Television - Marquee Moon
Daily 80's Video #115: Okay, so, yeah, technically, this is a 70's song, but heck, you can't have the 80's without the 70's, and what bled into, and helped shape the 80's, a la Star Wars, coming out in 1977, not unlike this phenomenal song/album by Television. Virtually, every song on Television's 1977 debut album is, or should have been, a hit and a half. Like many of their songs, Marquee Moon is a work of art, with incredibly strong and melodic guitars and fun cryptic lyrics. Here are the Lyrics for those interested, as I was a few months back, listening to this song about 100 times over. WARNING: This song is utterly infectious.
I remember
Ooo how the darkness doubled
I recall
Lightning struck itself
I was listening
Listening to the rain
I was hearing
Hearing something else
Life in the hive puckered up my night,
A kiss of death, the embrace of life
Ooo there I stand neath the Marquee Moon,
Just waiting
I spoke to a man
Down at the tracks
And I ask him
How he don't go mad
He said 'Look here junior, don't you be so happy
And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad'
Life in the hive puckered up my night,
The kiss of death, the embrace of life
Ooo there I stand neath the Marquee Moon,
Hesitating
Well a Cadillac
It pulled out of the graveyard
Pulled up to me
All they said 'get in', get in
Then the Cadillac
It puttered back into the graveyard
Me, I got out again
Life in the hive puckered up my night,
A kiss of death, the embrace of life
Ooo there I stand neath the Marquee Moon,
I ain't waiting nuh ah
I remember
How the darkness doubled
I recall
Lightning struck itself
I was listening
Listening to the rain
I was hearing
