Extraterrestrial Encore: 80s Hits from Beyond 🎶

This month, as we focus on “Grateful Gathering,” let’s embrace a little humor, too. I know how tough this season can feel. So, for a fun twist, imagine our favorite 80s alternative songs re-imagined…by ALIENS! After scanning Earth’s radio waves, they remixed these songs in their own intergalactic style, bringing us back a playlist they’re calling “Galactic Boogie.” They’ve kept the heart of each track but added their own cosmic touches that make these songs feel both familiar and delightfully strange.

Expect a playlist filled with quirky cover versions of songs you know, but with that slightly twisted vibe you didn’t know you needed. This is about celebration and gratitude, spun with a bit of alien weirdness to keep you dancing and smiling. After all, there’s something magical about hearing the music you love in a brand-new way, especially when it’s intended to bring pure, unexpected joy.

Genres You’ll Love on This Playlist:

• Indie Pop
