1980's Jingles

The 1980's was the decade of The Falklands War, BmX's, Sinclair C5, Live Aid, Chernobyl, Margaret Thatcher. The Berlin Wall was crumbling and an end to the Cold War. Films included Ghandi, Crocodile Dundee and Indiana Jones. On the TV we watched Spitting IMage, ThoMas the Tank Engine, Bergerac and the Launch of Eastenders.  In the charts we heard Adam and the Ants, Level 42, the HuMan League, Boy George, Wham, Black Box, and Madonna....

 

....but (far more importantly), what jingles could be heard on Radio 1
