OK, maybe not my favorite. But, definitely one of those videos that make you miss the cocaine era.

"Favorite," and,"pop song," don't go together in my mind.

I couldn't resist.

NENA



Original is in German, so the sound doesn't match the video.

Back in 1985 I was sitting in my fiance's apartment, listening to the song. Contemplating the meaning of it, wasted years and regret. The futility of holding on to a bad deal.

Well I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all of those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
'Cause nothing ever could
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on


I thought about it  a few minutes, turned to my fiance and said "This isn't working, I can't live the rest of my life like this". Got up and left.
Never looked back. Best decision I ever made.

There was SO MUCH good pop music in the 80's but there is one song to which I have the most visceral emotional reaction when I hear it:
