Joy and Steven's duet was AMAZING!

I loved how SCC just did NOT want to say the name of that first song 😂😂😂.

Carmen was his own entire genre, such a unique guy who experimented with styles, collabs, and story-telling. From rock, to rap, to old southern gospel, to theatrical stories told through song and crazy costumes. Carmen was one-of-a-kind with such God-given raw talent to teach, preach, and entertain all at the same time.

I’m just stunned that Chonda gave away her points and is absolutely satisfied! Goals! ❤

A. I love that SCC is wearing merch from his sons, that’s awesome!! B. JOY. OH MY WORD. She and Steven harmonized so perfectly at one specific point in that song, I was like GIRL. Knowing how big of an SCC fan she is I loved seeing that

Chonda not being competitive at all is so heartwarming! Love her!!

I get so hyped when they randomly throw in bands like Stryper or Petra 😂🔥

Chanda is such a wonderful person, and still every bit as funny as she ever was. "That's terrible...cause she's dead'.. 😂

Is anyone gonna point out that SCC is wearing a Colony House shirt, reppin and support his kids’ band!! We love to see it🤘🏼

Steven Curtis cracks me up!! “I wanna a massage 💆‍♂️😂” 4:21 Carmen - The Champion was actually a song that my brother’s karate school used when they put on demos at different churches in Georgia. They did a nice representation of Jesus defeating Satan,karate style. It was special 4:40

I like how Chonda just gives up on the game and just tries to teach Ruth who is who

As a child born in 1994, I am so impressed that I only didn't know one of these songs from the first few notes! I grew up listening to all of these except Stryper. That was an amazing blast from the past! Also, what a great duet with Joy and SCC! His ability to harmonize is amazing! Chonda Pierce in this video is such a mood XD

I was in tears watching this.... from laughter and from reminiscing of those days. Thank you for this!

I sang El Shaddai in church when I was young. So many memories.. ❤

DC talk was the jam in the mid to late 80’s.

Man I absolutely LOVE Steven Curtis Chapman

Songs battles never get old! Love these 😆❤️❤️

Y'all should do a southern gospel song battle.

“I have too pee and I’m hungry” story of my life haha

Dave and Wally match each other's energy so we'll.

Def need more of the 80s and early 90s Christian song battles like this, with diff music artist😊 guests

I was born on 1980 and mostly listened to Michael W Smith, Amy Grant, Steven Curtis Chapman growing up. Oh, and dc Talk, PFR, and Rich Mullins in high school.

Steven and Chonda just showed up to have some fun.

WHOA - the Twila Paris song took me back to my childhood, playing with Legos - haven't heard that in 30+ years

Steven says''I want a massage suddenly''! I yell out ''Oh.. Mary Beth''!!🤣

Friends was my class song in 1988! That song will never die.

Patra - This Means War is the song I requested every time at Christian Skate at our roller rink

How can you not love Awesome God?!

MWS "Friends " was our senior song because our school banned prayer at graduation. This was our workaround.

I didn't know SCC was so funny 😂 This was great!!

Joy getting to sing with SCC again! Beyond jealous. Grew up singing harmony to all his songs. Always dreamed I could sing with him, just one time 😂

I’m so happy y’all are bringing these back. I love the song battles.

the Via Dolorosa makes me cry to this day, my dad sang that song at my great grandpa's funeral as a kid and it always stuck with me. He sang it in full spanish and it will always be my favorite song but i can only listen to it once in a great while because it stills makes me cry.

I Appreciate that Chonda gave Ruth those 3 points haha

Probably one of the most fun things I've seen on KZfaq in a long, long, LONG time!

Joy and Steven were GOLDEN made my night!!

Singing “Friends” in graduation! Times have changed. Now that would have been a big deal to allow anything Christian in a school graduation. I miss the 80s. I thank God I have you guys and my Christian family during these times.

80s Christian. NICE! I’m expecting there to be some SCC, Amy Grant, Carman, Stryper, etc. It’s funny how I was born in 2009 and I know about this stuff lol

I love these videos so much! I always try to answer as if I were participating in the song battle haha Can't wait to see this one🙌

This video is all my childhood. Haha! My mom sang Sandy Patti and Twila Paris and some Amy Grant at church.

Who didn’t edit out Chonda saying, “cause he’s dead” 😳😬🤣

We must protect Chonda at all cost 😂❤❤❤

My husband and I just watched four of these song battles for an impromptu date. It was so fun! Thanks for them. ~Steve's wife

Yaaaassss...and SCC reppin' Colony House is icing on the cake 😊

This was fun! Some of them took me a minute. Thank you for sharing!

Outside of Stryper I remember all of these songs, a specific memory from my childhood: the soloist in my church's Easter program would wear a rubber chicken under her costume/robe so she wouldn't cry singing Via Delorosa.

Lemme tell y'all, I GOT SOOOO EXCITED BY THE TITLE, ‘cause the 80s is pretty much my favourite of the “Golden Three" eras of music in my opinion (70s, 80s, and 90s). That being said…here comes my list of standout moments from this vid!!! PLEASE don’t read if you haven’t watched this video yet. Spoiler alerts and all haha. OK HERE WE GO: 1. Steven not wanting to say the title of the first song at 0:51. I still can’t say it myself haha. 2. Wally vs. The Bell at 1:25 3. Dave going all “local-fan” and singing Amy’s signature hit at 2:23 with the music video in the back lol. That edit was solid. 4. HEAVENBOUND!!! Need I say more? (The song’s my JAM!) 5. Wally putting words in Toby’s mouth at 3:26. I’m like, “Did he really say ‘light it up’?” Haha. 6. Ruth and "The Imperials" at 3:56. Sure, imagine Elvis, Jake Hess, or even Russ Taff catching a vibe with this beat! I died laughing :) 7. CARMAN!!!!!!!!! (4:09) I LOVE THAT MAN!!!! HUGE SHOUT OUT TO WAY NATION FOR INCLUDING HIM!!!! VERY ICONIC IN THE CHRISTIAN MUSIC FIELD! HE WILL FOREVER BE MISSED! (I also love the fact that everyone knew it was him just because of his musical style.) 8. “The Warrior Is A Child” at 6:02 threw me off because they inserted the 1992 remake instead of the original 1984 version. But then again, that’s just me being a musical nerd lol. It’s a beautiful song nonetheless :) 9. Wally going to the movies from 9:22 onward. I couldn’t stop laughing :) 10. Wally taking a 90s/2000s artist and placing her in the 80s just because he can at 9:57 11. Chonda lowkey giving the answer to Round 8 (11:06). It was unintentional but I thought that was a nice segue. 12. WALLY’S VOICE CRACK AT 11:47!!!!!! I’m sorry, but that was hilarious!!!! 13. Joy and Steven’s duet at 12:07 onward. 14. Dave’s delivery at 12:37. It had action, drama, excitement, and to top it all off, hand motions! 15. Dave’s MJ impersonation at 12:57 haha. Unpopular opinion, but I always thought that MJ and Amy looked somewhat alike in the 90s? Must’ve been their hairstyles lol. 16. Chonda missing the lyrics at 13:15. She is DEFINITELY the female Mark Lowry! 17. WayNation redeeming themselves at 13:33 haha :) I remember this was in their 90s battle vid first, and I didn’t expect them to put it in it’s actual place. You guys are real ones! Boy that was a lot lol, but all this to say I ENJOYED THIS BATTLE!!! You guys always come through with great episodes. And shoutout to SCC, Chonda, and Dave for joining in on the fun. God bless you Way Nation Team!

That was totally rad like sweet job everyone and God bless you all

6:12. I LOVE Joy she gets so excited and has the best personality. 😆

I became a Christian in the 90s but I still knew most of the songs. Everybody did pretty well. I 💖💖 Steven Curtis Chapman.

I wish they would do another one. These bring back a ton of memories.

I find these immensely entertaining!!!!! Y’all make me laugh and remember “the good ole days!”

I hope For King & Country is there!!❤

My favorite Carmen song was A Witch's Invitation but then again I loved that whole album.

Wally and Dave were so funny😂!!

I didn't know a single one until the very end! 😂 Love the song battles, though!

I graduated '87😂❤ Thank you for the music and laughter 😂

I love these videos!!!

Petra will always be my favorite band of all time. The Greg Voltz Era really was heavy on the 80s sound and the synth which I loved. John Schlitt really went into the rock aspect of the 80s with the drums and guitar! This Means War, Beyond Belief, and Sight Unseen, More Power To Ya, Not Of This World, Beat The System were incredible albums!! I am sad they didn't play Wayne Watson, David Meece or Ray Boltz. Wayne Watsons Water Coloured Ponies touches my parents hearts to this day. David Meece touring as a concert pianist as a kid and then making music with heavy piano/key emphasis, is always a treat to listen to. And say what you want about Ray Boltz, but Thank You is an era defining song. And his vocal range was astounding. Growing up my parents loved David Meece, Ray Boltz and Petra. I shared their love for these artists too and as a 23 year old I still listen to their music.

Oh my gosh!!! This is so awesome and hilarious! I totally forgot about Carmen!! I used to love him! Michael W Smith.. Friends are Friends Forever was the song sang our my high school graduation in 1988!!! Probably ever graduating class in the 80s had this song. 😁

That was so cool!!! I loved this battle! I guessed Awesome God and Via Dolorosa right away!!! My life is now complete lol. Thanks so much for using my suggestion! Shout-out to Kaylee!!! ❤❤❤

Dude! So much nostalgia here!

Joy and SCC really need to do more stuff together. LOL

This is so fun to watch! ❤️🎶

My first concert was either Amy Grant's Unguarded tour or Carmen. They happened kind of close to each other, and I just don't remember which happened first. And Carmen's Revival in the land is still one of my favorite songs. He always had epically long intros.

I went to Liberty University when DC Talk went there and I must have heard Heavenbound performed hundreds of times. 😂

This was really fun! I'm glad you guys finally got around to doing this. I believe I suggested an 80s song battle on one of the earlier battle episodes. Even though I was born in '88 and didn't get into Christian music until 2004, I've since become familiar with lots of songs from the 80s and 90s, and I was happy I knew all but one song (Petra's "This Means War") within the first few seconds.

So glad you did a Rich Mullins song! What a fun video!

I really enjoyed this one. I graduated high school in 86. While I grew up in church, Amy Grant’s Unguarded was my first time hearing Christian Contemporary Music. A friend introduced me to Stryper and “To Hell with the Devil.” was one of my first cassettes to buy. I loved that cover. I was a big SCC fan. I think I had every cd of his between For sake of the call and Declaration. He and Joy were entertaining together. I haven’t heard much of Chondra Pierce’s act. She impressed me a lot in this. Loved the connection to Minnie Pearl. My mother did a lot of skits in Church and women’s meetings using a character she based on Minnie Pearl.

I can't wait!! Although I don't know any song from the 80s. I'm going to fail 😂

12:08 The Harmonizing part everyone was talking about.

This has been my favorite song battle to date!! Love this so much!!

What Ruth says in the end about Awesome God is very upsetting. That is the best song of the bunch played here and that is the reason it is still played so much to this day. And I think it should actually be played more than it is since we do in fact serve and AWESOME GOD!

YES!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 ONE OF MY FAVORITE DECADES IN CHRISTIAN MUSIC! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO NOW IS DO ONE FROM THE 70's!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS AT WAY NATION! NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO, BUT BECAUSE OF THE GOD YOU SERVE!! I LOVE YOU GUYS OUT THERE WAY NATION!! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME AND GOD LOVES YOU ALL!! AND I DO TOO!!!! GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!!!🤗🤗🤗🕊️🕊️🕊️

Geez I would of mopped the floor with you guys on this. I have every album that was played in this video.

YES!!! Now you're talking my era. Born in 1975, grew up listening to this music--except Stryper. For some reason, I know Petra but never heard Stryper's music . My favorite station was KVNE in Tyler, Texas. Broke my heart when we moved too far to get the signal in the late 1980s. That's also when I sat on my bed crying to MWS's Friends song because I was missing my pals. Rough time.

I just discovered these song battles and they bring back so many memories. I'd love to see you all do more of them. Maybe an 80's worship song battle. Or maybe some more 90's song battles as well. Hope to see more of these!

😂 What fun! 😁🎶🎵👏 I was wondering if a Russ Taff song would be in there. Please consider making more of these videos!

If only today's music had the variety of creativity heard in 80's music…

This video brought back all the feels of being a kid worshiping without the struggles of life! Miss good music like this... wonder if there is a Pandora station with 80's Christian music.... be right back gonna go look! hehehe

Chonda is a jewel!!!

This is fun and amazing...and now I feel really old because I knew almost all of these. LOL

Love this! As a Christian teen through the 80s it also reminds me of how cheesy much of the Christian music was. LOL

Why is it such a thing that everyone REMEMBERS their first concert but I just… don’t? Lol

I was born in 1995, but I grew up hearing Twila Paris. My favorite song by her is Lamb of God. I was surprised that Amy Grant sang El Shaddai. Twila also sang that song. My favorite song by Amy is Thy Word. I didn't find out until recently that Rich Mullins sang Awesome God. I'd never heard most of these other songs though.

So much fun. Love you guys.

I am so glad you had Chonda!! I can only imagine the hilariousness if you made an outtakes or behind the scenes of this one. :)

Mark Kelly, Petra's bassist is my great uncle ☺️

I actually saw Sidewalk Prophets at Anderson University when they had just started

I was born in 1990, but man I Loved 80's music; both Christian and secular! I listened to more 80's Christian Rock like Petra, Stryper, Whiteheart, and Whitecross but there were a few 80's Christian pop songs that i liked as well. My favorites from the ones that they played here was To Hell With The Devil by Stryper, Friends Forever by Michael W. Smith and This Means War by Petra!

This was a huge blast from the past! Now I wanna go get out all my old cassettes. 😂

Friends are friends forever was sang my senior year by a graduate as we sang along 1985

This was fun! ❤😊

Our Bible club enacted The Champion for the school talent show my sophomore year. We got an honorable mention. The angels were in white but they used a black light to make us glow.

Wally and Dave wanting to do hard rock/MJ covers of 80s Christian ballads has the same energy as Tim Hawkins' Immigrant Song cover of Shout to the Lord 😂

I freakin' love Chonda. Black Sabbath... spinning the turntable... "I have to pee, and I'm hungry"

Born in 1983 and got every single one of these before they did.

Twila Paris's Warrior Is A Child was my mama's jam for most of the 80s.

I literally have the exact same shirt as Chonda. Seriously not even kidding - How surreal LOL

I grew up listening to all of those artists on cassette tapes. Born in the 80’s grew up in the 90’s.
