  1. "There'll be sad songs (to make you cry)" - Billy Ocean

    The song is inspired by his hit single "Suddenly" from last year; apparently, a friend of Mrs. Ocean heard the song at a rough point in her life, and had a good blub to it. Nobody tell Sir Simon Bates about the power of a tune... oh.

    Billy was not riveting in the studio. Watch the crowd wave at the camera, and the presenter move to his mark.

    "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" - Billy Ocean

    Are you watching, Ronan Keating? There's more stage presence in the second bongo than in your entire career.

  16. "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going" is a 1985 song co-written and originally recorded by the British singer #BillyOcean in 1985.

  17. 40 years ago this week, "When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going" by #BillyOcean entered the #Top10 at 7. It peaked at 2 on 15 Feb 1986. It was the theme song for "The Jewel of the Nile", a mildly disappointing sequel to "Romancing the Stone", and the film's cast pretend to be backup singers in the video. youtube.com/watch?v=-n3sUWR4FV4 #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

  19. "Caribbean queen" - Billy Ocean

    Sharp suit, the little podium stage is perfect for a solo performer.

    He sings, he dances, and by golly he connects with the camera!

    Billy wasn't the most consistent of hitmakers, but when he resonated with the public, he was rewarded and remembered.

  20. "Get Outta My Dreams, Get into My Car" is a song by the Trinidadian-British singer #BillyOcean, based on a line in the #ShermanBrothers' song "#YoureSixteen". It was released as the first single from Ocean's seventh studio album #TearDownTheseWalls (1988). Part of its popularity lay in its cutting-edge (for the time) #musicVideo, which features animation mixed with live-action sequences. The saxophone solo is performed by #VernonJeffreySmith.

  26. Da ich mich gerade selber total in den Keller gezogen habe, ziehe ich mich da jetzt wieder raus.

    Vermutlich habe ich eine SM Ader, aber wenn es zu heftig wird, dann mag ich es doch lieber...SCHÖN!
    Und da sind alle Mittel erlaubt!

  27. Leider ist der Sommer schon wieder vorbei. Voll doof.

    Naja, ich war gestern auf dem Dachboden und habe meinen Seesack gesucht. Spontan habe ich einen Koffer gefunden.

    Naja, und was mache ich jetzt mit so einem Koffer ? 🤔

    Ich könnte in den Urlaub fahren/schwimmen/gehen/fliegen.

    Damit das jetzt aber keinen Neid produziert...
    Ich muss in den Knast, weil ich voll der Bad Boy bin ;-)

    Sooo had a bad couple of weeks but have been checking in on what's been happening on #BlackFriday of course and #BHM. So gifting you a song by the #BrothersJohnson that you can guarantee to find me dancing off beat to anytime (this or any number of #BillyOcean songs). Warning: It can be a bit of an earworm.
