Classic Songs From The '60s To '90s That Will NEVER Get Old

Every now and then, present day music just doesn't seem to cut it anymore. You long for the groove and authenticity vibrant in the '80s and '90s and miss the classic, yet fantastic hits that the '60s and '70s brought along. Possibly inspired by the "Stranger Things'" throwback to the '80s, without further ado, I present to you some classic songs that will never fade away with time.

1. Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper (1983)

This song is so deep and thoughtful. I heard it first on "Parks and Recreation," actually, when April, Donna, and Ann sing the chorus! It hits you deep and is so fun to sing out loud.

2. Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds (1985)

I have yet to watch Breakfast Club (I know, what am I even doing with my life?!), but this song is amazing. Admittedly, I hadn't heard it before watching Pitch Perfect, but I've been obsessed ever since.

3. Every Breath You Take - The Police (1983)

I'd actually discovered this gem through a cover I heard by Denmark + Winter. The lyrics are amazing and you can't help but sing along with passion.

4. Take On Me - a-Ha (1985)

Possibly my favorite classic song of all time! The music video is visually stunning and the music itself is perfection.

5. Don't Stop Believin' - Journey (1981)

I discovered this song in middle school when I played it in band! It's musically beautiful and lyrically profound.

6. I Want It That Way - Backstreet Boys (1999)

This song is a romantic classic. It's so sweet and I can listen to it on repeat. In fact, I've done that several times...

7. Quit Playing Games - Backstreet Boys (1997)

Another romantic classic. This song never gets old and the beat gets me nodding my head.

8. My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion (1997)

The beginning flute music is beautiful beyond words. And c'mon, it's Rose and Jack's love theme from the "Titanic." Need I say more?

9. Can't Help Falling In Love - Elvis Presley (1961)

An oldie but a goldie.

10. Imagine - John Lennon (1971)

The lyrics are profound and incredible. It can put a smile or brings tears to anyone listening to it. It'll never fade away.

11. Macarena - Los Del Rio (1993)

Can you believe this song is more than twenty years old?! It's the OG of all dance anthems out there: "Cupid Shuffle," "Cha Cha Slide," "Gangnam Style," "Watch Me Whip" and so on.

12. Another Brick In The Wall - Pink Floyd (1979)

This song has a strong message and is groovy at the same time. It's a masterpiece.

13. Stand By Me - Ben E. King (1962)

It's a sweet and adorable song, and once again I discovered it through a cover by Denmark + Winter.

14. Livin' la Vida Loca - Ricky Martin (1999)

This song is awesome. The beat, background music, and voice are great. First heard it when I danced to it on "Just Dance!" It makes for a great dance song.

15. The Sounds of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel (1964)

The lyrics are absolutely amazing and hard-hitting: "Hello darkness, my old friend. I've come to talk with you again." More songs like this one need to exist.

The list goes on, but I'll leave you with these! Today's music is great in its own sense, but these classics carry a sort of splendor that is oh-so-magical!

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

858

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Rutgers University

Yify

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

It's just my face, I swear.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.
