And so I was like to myself 'this is freaking awesome and really inspiring' and so I drew the songs into coinpurses. Yeah!

Thanks for entering! The giveaway is now closed!
The giveaway has two prizes (one per person, there will be TWO winners) - two custom designed 80s coinpurses - you choose your song!
I want inspiration! Leave a comment with your favourite 80s song, and if possible a link to it on Youtube.
One winner will be randomly chosen (1 comment per person please!)
The other winner will be whoever posts the best song! You can put more than one song in your comment but as if I'm gonna watch them all if you have 30 songs in there.
Oh and I'll probably close the competition on Saturday night, possibly Sunday morning.

'How Soon is Now' by The Smiths. One, it is so cool and whingy, and it was the theme song on 'Charmed'... am I showing my age? lol...
Has to be David Bowie's Let's Dance!

I still put it on now as I'm getting ready to go out in Tom Cruise fashion and dance around the house in my underwear!! (Too much information?)
It's kinda sexy and lovey and fun all wrapped into one (although the David Bowie factor creeps me out a little courtesy of Labyrinth!!)
So many to choose from, I used to play this one really loud, my Dad didn't like it....
Girls just wanna have fun!
Too easy - Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi, ahhhh the Jovi.

As a child of the 80s, this era is the soundtrack of my life!! My favourite song as a 2-year-old (my Mum will vouch for this) was Toni Basil's 'Mickey'. (youtube sux & doesn't have a link to the original clip)
But you can watch this instead for a laugh... (love the hair!!)

Yes to Jess' song - The Smiths rock! But, I have to go for Aha - Take On mMe: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW86DTpWWpM
Not embarrassed to admit I was a little in love with Morten Harket!

Head Over Heels - Tears for Fears

Under the Milky Way Tonight - The Church
(I can't find the video on YouTube, seems to be a licensing thing)
Tainted Love - Soft Cell
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cCI_XDQWb0
And I completely back up A-Ha. Take on Me!
Billy Jean by MJ!!!! I still go nuts to it :) I think it was 1981 (which was the year i was born but hey genius never ages!)
Wonderful & original idea for purses! My 2 favourite songs of the 80s are Echo Beach by Martha & the Muffins see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvqjYxeTODY
and Tainted Love by The Cure (as NeverEverEmma mentioned)see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cCI_XDQWb0
I will always sing at the top of my voice when either comes on the radio.
Oops... of course I meant Tainted Love by Soft Cell for previous entry. Don't know what I was thinking.
Ok...you're going to think I'm weirder than you already do....this is a favourite from the 80s when it was the 80s (i.e. I was a kid). I would LOVE to see a purse with your little guy doing THE CHICKEN DANCE!!!!
Here's a YouTube link to the ad for the 1980s version- HOT STUFF!

The TIME WARP from the Rocky Horror Picture Show!! (video released in 1980s)
So many cool lines in that ...

'It's just a jump to the left'
'You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation'
and of course 'Let's do the time warp again!'
