Join us as we turn the 20 20 Retro Countdown clock back to this week in 1980...
It was the week when the Special Broadcasting Service started on TV in Melbourne and Sydney,...
If you weren't busy tuning your tv set in to find SBS... you might have been heading to the cinema to see this...
The title track from that movie gets a place in the top 10 as we visit late October 1980...
The other news from that week saw Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser settling back into the lodge after the Liberal government defeated Bill Hayden's Labor party to win a third cosecutive term in Government...
That and more from this week in 1980 on the 20 20 Retro Countdown..
But one more clue about our special guest this week... put it together with the previous clues... any ideas?
Something different in the next 20 20 Retro Countdown... something we have never attempted before..
You might have played with word trains before... maybe on a long trip in the car or at a trivia night.. essentially, it's a group of words or titles of a subject linked by letters or words...
So - we have set ourselves a challenge.. to link all 20 songs in the 20 20 Retro Countdown by their titles.. the last word of one title is the first word of the next...
Now, there are some rules... can't use the same artist more than twice and can't use the first word of a song more than twice...And you have to use the whole word... you can't end one song with "Girl" and start the next with "Girls"
See if you can create a song train of your own.... and don't miss the 20 20 Retro Countdown to see if we can do it!
For our song train... we're starting with this song..
Also.... this week we will be joined by an 80's music icon... can't wait!
Don't want to give it away yet - but I have been adding clues to our website..
How about this clue??!!
Next week - we'll feature a very special guest on the 20 20 Retro Countdown... a true icon of the 80's!
That person will share 20 songs with us that influenced them and we'll hear stories from their amazing career...
Don't want to give it away too early... so I'll just post a series of clues... like the one above..
Any ideas?
