If you were an 80s kid, I won\u2019t judge you if you regularly whip out one (or two\u2026 or all) of the following rock songs from 1982 when it\u2019s karaoke night. They\u2019re just so fun to sing along to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEye Of The Tiger\u201d by Survivor from \u2018Eye Of The Tiger\u2019 and \u2018Rocky III\u2019<\/p>\n<p>From the verses to the chorus, it\u2019s impossible not to sing along, at least mentally, to this absolute banger of a hard rock song from 1982. \u201cEye Of The Tiger\u201d was made famous by its inclusion in the soundtrack for the 1982 film Rocky III. But it really does stand strong on its own. And that post-disco rhythm? To die for. \u201cEye Of The Tiger\u201d was a smash hit when it was released. The anthemic song peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a whopping six weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI Love Rock \u2018N Roll\u201d by Joan Jett And The Blackhearts from \u2018I Love Rock \u2018N Roll\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s another song that just about anybody can sing along to, whether or not you were an 80s kid. \u201cI Love Rock \u2018N Roll\u201d by Joan Jett is actually a cover of a 1975 hard rock song by Arrows. Jett\u2019s version, however, was an insanely successful hit, one that remains he most well-known song of her career. \u201cI Love Rock \u2018N Roll\u201d peaked at No. 1 across the board. That includes charts like the Hot 100 and charts in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEbony And Ivory\u201d by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder from \u2018Tug Of War\u2019<\/p>\n<p>How about a softer tune on our list of rock songs from the year 1982 that 80s kids can still sing along to? \u201cEbony And Ivory\u201d was the collaboration nobody expected, but just about everybody loved. Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder blended their talents in rock music and R&amp;B together into a total pop sensation. And it\u2019s the kind of soft rock song that most people can recognize, but 80s kids know all the words to.<\/p>\n<p>Photo by Lynn Goldsmith\/Corbis\/VCG via Getty Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The year 1982 was a rich one for fans of rock music, as a ton of great songs&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":662540,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[20278,2617,88,216,2156],"class_list":["post-662539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-1980s","tag-classic-rock","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-rock-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=662539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/662540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=662539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=662539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=662539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
