With Memorial Day Weekend approaching fast, many people will be making their way to the beach. The beach is a vital part of summer time partying, as well as a concept that presents itself in lots of 80's pop culture.
The Fixx tried to "Reach The Beach," New Order "Walked down to the beach . . . " Beaches provided the setting for fun 80's party movies like "Back To The Beach," and "The Allnighter," and also provided the title for the slightly less party oriented movie "Beaches." And there were at least a couple of 80's music videos that take place at the beach. One such video that comes to mind has the band's captivating lead singer frolicking in the surf while her band mates are alternately shown rocking out on the dunes and buried up to their necks in the sand. Also protruding from the sand are several gigantic red and white striped candy canes. What's the name of the song?
Bonus Question: Another 80's music video filmed at the beach shows the Beastie Boys pursuing a buxom babe in a bikini and red high heels across the sandy shores of (what looks like) Long Island. What's the name of the song?
