Another iconic 80’s smash from the Thompson Twins. Released in January 1984, this song peaked at #11 in the US and #3 in the UK. This one was a bit of a challenge. I picked this up in just a few hours. Before playing it, I did a not-so-exhaustive search for some bass arrangements or charts before giving up and just trying to learn it by ear.

Doctor! Doctor!

Great song by R.E.M. from 1989. Made it to #1 on the US Alternative and Mainstream Rock Airplay charts. I’ve posted a few other high-energy R.E.M. videos. I’m making good on the promise that there would be more.

This 1990 hit from Go West made it to #8 in the US and was part of the Pretty Woman soundtrack. It's got that distinctive 80s europop vibe. For bass, this song turned out to be more challenging that I thought. The bass line is performed on a keyboard on the original recording, but I gave it my best shot here.
