Three Times the Gimmick!

Yes, it's the third compilation of songs from the 1980s which have two words in the title. 
Real profound, huh?  I thought I'd pick some two-word TV shows that ran in the Eighties,
But that was too much work, so I went back to the minimalist approach of only two-word phrases like wallpaper in the BG.  Here are the bi-vocable song selections:

01 - 80's Girl - Eric Blake - 1981  (2:50)

02 - Running Dog - Lo Tek - 1980  (1:19)

03 - Television Vision - The Sinceros - 1981  (2:44)

04 - Danger Games - The Pinkees - 1982  (2:55)

05 - Be Stiff - DEVO with Toni Basil - 1981  (3:24)

06 - Gimme Attention - Zro4 - 1980  (1:45)

07 - Napalm Springs - Vivabeat - 1982  (4:30)

08 - Designer Genes - Amoebas in Chaos - 1981  (1:29)

09 - Leather Complex - VS - 1980  (2:02)

10 - Mirror Mirror - Jimmy and the Boys - 1981  (2:06)

11 - Later Baby - The Dadistics - 1980  (3:14)

12 - Fade Out - Repetition - 1981  (4:36)

13 - Separate Rooms - The Boxboys - 1980  (3:13)

14 - World Destruction - Time Zone - 1984  (5:05)

15 - Happy Funeral - Kitchen and the Plastic Spoons - 1980  (3:07)

16 - TV Love - Simpletones - 1980  (1:35)

17 - Dead Sea - Spray Pals - 1982  (5:28)

18 - Female Trouble - Morbid Opera - 1986  (2:02)

19 - Bored Housewifes - Androids of Mu - 1980  (2:19)

20 - TV Party - Black Flag - 1981  (3:31)

21 - Bad Influence - Screamin' Rachael and Remote - 1980  (3:33)

22 - Baby Baby - The Impossible Years - 1981  (2:59)

23 - Duncan Dancin' - Non Band - 1982  (3:09)

24 - Negative Image - Crown Agent - 1981  (3:30)

25 - No Secrets - Missing Persons - 1986  (4:49)

From semi-lo-tech to pretty good production values, the songs' messages are in turn quaint, outrageous, sincere, and sarcastic.  Some get there message across in under two minutes.  Dive in, but don't forget your rubber suit and/or disinfectant hose-down afterwards.
