Ultimate 80s Date Mix: Cruising With Angelyne

(Don't) Say Anything

What kind of 80s music do you think Angelyne listens to as she cruises around in her little pink Corvette? I was out in Malibu last weekend, enjoying the unusually warm January weather, when I ran smack-dab into this self-stylized pop culture icon.

When I came face-to-face with her in a supermarket aisle I suddenly blurted out “Hey Angelyne, how are you?” She turned and looked sharply at me, her fake triple-D breasts exploding from her extra low cut blouse, and replied tersely: “Hi.”

As I walked on past her I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to ride shotgun in her Corvette, stereo blaring, as we cruised up and down the California coast, wind blowing through our hair.

Well, since that’s probably not gonna happen, I decided to do what any John Cusack loving child-of-the-80s would do: I made mix tape of 80s music. Angelyne, baby, if you’re out there, this one’s for you:
