On The 80s Map
Ten 80s Tracks with a Country conection:
1) Big In Japan – Alphaville (No8 1984) – A true 80s classic, it’s easy when you’re big in Japan (allegedly)
2) A New England – Kirsty MacColl (No7 1985) – A sad loss to the Music World, enough said.
3) Born in the U.S.A. – Bruce Springsteen (No5 1985) – Even if you’re not American, you are for 3 minutes during this belter.
4) Kids in America – Kim Wilde (No2 1981) – An absolute 80s Anthem, deserved the number 1 slot.
5) The Lebanon – Human League (No11 1984) – One of their lesser known hits, quality never the less.
6) Nights over Egypt – The Jones Girls (Not released in The UK as a single) – Played at all 80s Discos.
7) Africa – TOTO (No3 1983) – OK it’s a Continent, but it’s in.
8) China In Your Hand (No1 1987) – Big 80s Hair and a Big Hit too.
9) French Kissin’ In The U.S.A. (No8 1986) – A classic from the Queen of The 80s
10) In a Big Country – Big Country (No17 1983) – Very under rated Band that released some cracking work.

Do The Chinese Way and Japanese Boy count?
What about “Walk Like an Egyptian” or “Little China girl”
