80s, nightmare or fun?

According to Eurogamer.net, Sony released the track list for a SingStar 80s special that will be released in November.
Can't wait to belt out "I wanna know what love iiiiiiis, I waaant you to shoooow meeeeeeeee" in an intoxicated state. Must arrange for mad party when its released, yes.
My goodness... It's really coming back to haunt us, the 80s.
FoFuSa wrote something about that in her blog today also. The icky 80s that is. What is it about the 80s that makes us either shake our heads or grin sheepishly?
Of course, it was a cheesy decade. I've never recovered from being exposed to all those pastel colours. And I'm reduced to a curled up, shaky human ball whenever I hear any Katherina and the Waves songs. *shudder*
But I go all mushy when I see my old friends, the Carebears in toy shops nowadays. I almost brought a big version of the pink one with the rainbow, but it was a bit too expensive.
I've also seen some Cabbage Pail (sp?) kids around, which made me wonder where I put my old one. Probably in the attic at my parents'. Of course, her dress was in brown earth tones, not bright pink, but the face is still the same.
But I will always frown when I think of what mum made me wear back then. I still remember a horrible college sweater with fish on it. And a matching skirt and shirt with pearls and lace.
And seriously bad hair. Like in the video I mentioned in this post. (Hey, it still makes me laugh, even though I first feared I would go blind from seeing that yellow zebra spandex suit.)
