Nina Blackwood hosts 3 hours of 80’s every Saturday night from 9 to midnight on 105.7 KOKZ, it’s where I found our Absolutely 80’s Forgotten 45, from Icehouse and “Electric Blue”.
The first You Tube comment on the video sums it up nicely:
This video is officially the most 80s video of all time.
Guitar keyboard – check
Glorious mullet – check
Red leather jacket – check
Saxophone solo in silhouette – check
Denim on denim – check
The song was co-written by Iva Davies of the band and John Oates from Hall & Oates. John said if Icehouse didn’t release the song, it would’ve been a hit for them. Electric Blue reached #7 on the charts in 1988.
Check out the totally 80’s video from Icehouse!
