#100 of VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown: "Burning In the Third Degree" by Tahnee Cain and the Tryanglz (1984)

Welcome to VJ Samsonite's top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown! Today is the first post, and so naturally I am starting the countdown at number 100. You may have noticed that I have reverted from doing the top 50 as I found that there were just too many 80's Dance Hits that I couldn't possibly ignore, so I expanded it to the full-on top 100. So, the first song you very well may have never heard of before, and for those of you who are familiar with it, you have already proven yourself to be well versed in true 80's mythology. At number 100 is...Burning in the Third Degree," by electro-rock 80's group Tahnee Cain and the Tryanglz. This song comes off of the original Terminator Soundtrack and is featured in the Tech-Noir nightclub scene. There isn't much info about the other band members but Tane McClure is the lead singer, an actress, as well as a film producer from Los Angeles, California. She has been compared to Pat Benatar in the past, and was part of a Latin-Jazz band in the 1970's before she joined up with the Tryanglz. According to wikipedia, there album reached #121 on the charts, and the band performed gigs up til the 1990's when it officially disbanded. This song is a true sci-fi-80's-synth classic, which has its own dark post-apocalyptic undertones, which truly makes a gripping authentic 80's tune that is more than dance-able. I would recommend that if you dig this tune you check out The Terminator soundtrack as there are at least two other singles by this band on it. I am proud to make Burning in the Third Degree my  #100 80's Dance Hit. Enjoy!
