In keeping with the first-time theme I am having for this week's Music Monday, I'll be featuring another cool number from one of my favourite groups U2. Yup, am going back to my roots with yet another 80s number, 1984 to be exact.
Since I'm a true 80s music fan, I found some really cool fun facts online, which I thought would make a nice addition to this post. I bet you didn't know some of the facts too right? Happy Music Monday everyone and if you're wondering which other cool U2 number I am featuring at my other blog, do stop by! :)
Biggest selling album of the 80s (and all time)
Michael Jackson's Thriller album of 1982 is the biggest selling album of all time, with over 42 million copies sold - and rising.
Freddie Mercury and Thriller
There are many reports that Freddie Mercury of Queen recorded a track with Michael Jackson's for Thriller. However, this track has never surfaced in public.
Beat It guitarist
The guitarist that Michael Jackson's Beat It such a characteristic sound was Eddie Van Halen.
Kylie Minogue's first hit
Kylie Minogue's first hit song was a cover version of Locomotion. The film clip also stars the Australian actress/comedian Tania Lacy.
Duran Duran
Duran Duran was named after a character in the 1960's film Barbarella. Jane Fonda played the lead and throughout the film she was searching for a character called Duran Duran. The band paid tribute to this film in the late 90s song Electric Barbarella. After fading out in the late 80s, Duran Duran also made a brief comeback in 1993 with the song Ordinary World.

Wah.. kaching kaching eh.. jeles. Jeles.. :-)
_____
Ala lima dollar je LJ! Kat RM managed to chop smlm!
Eh lima dollar still duit mah.. I asyik sibuk with Payu jer.. tak sempat nak
reserve anything else.. eh macam tak cukup masalah nowadays.. why eh??
_____
Hola LJ! long live payu!! LOL! I dah remove everything LJ! Macam sedih jugak tau.. :'( :'(
Yeah la ur payu keeps u busy, pas tu makeover lagi, tu yg blh happily go to Al-Rajhi keluarkan beribu-ribu ringgit he heh e!!!!! ;)
Hehhehe. I only left LLP.. coz ada pending payout from 3p.. but yes.. sedih
gak.. but then when I see semua cents cent nya offer.. tak sedih sgt
lah..lol!
_____
Hehehhehe..betul betul.. alhamdullilah.. my calendar penuh ni.lol!!
Hehe.. beribu2 bayar hutang.lo!!
_____
bestlah LJ! now i just have to depend on today and payu.. itupun today bukannya tiap2 bulan i make payout..
hahahaha.. i sedih tgk SS tu.... passions tu kata take this opp!! adduuhh.. LOL! but it's okay.. in the long run, payu lebih menguntungkan, right? ;)
Don feel bad guys, if Payu gives u more opps, then stick to Payu la! After all u all kan post queen, 14 posts a day it seems some ppl he he! ;)
heehehehehe.. better beribu2 bayar hutang.. at least terbayar! LOL!
hehehehehehehe... 14 posts?? wuahhh.. who lah dat ah??? hahahahhah..
Heheh.. mmg Payu Besh!!! Hidup Payu!! lols
_____
Definitely Shemah.
More profitable lah.. :-)
_____
Heheheheh.. betul betul.. setuju!!!
_____
Heheh.. adalah hamba Allah tu. lol!
_____
Eh I think kan.. if you write daily for you main blog kat Today , plus
traffic from both your today blog.. boleh kot payout monthly.
I dah mula slagging with GG ni.. need to pick up the pace.. after balik from
SG that day .. maleh tul lah!
_____
Posting daily tu yg susah sikit ladies, but u guys can do it, so I say go for it! Concentrate la on ur today blogs, esp shemah, ada 3 kan? ;)
no no no.. kalau 3 i tak sanggup!! LOL! I've got 2 only.. if i rajin drop, maybe lah i can make payout for both today blogs.. hopefully they upgrade me to ppp for my fashion blog.. *crosses fingers*
Heheh.. Yelah Shemah.. they did say they might cross us over kan??
_____
yes... they might!! Hopefully your BD gets ppp in a months time too! ;) enjoy i baca!! hahahaha..
Hehe.. thanks dearie.. speaking of which.. I've yet to watch yesterday epi..
how to review..lol..
_____
go watch go watch!! LOL!
