rapstertee This is not an album. It's a time machine, taking you instantly back to an undiscovered summer in the 1980s. Phenomenal. Favorite track: Can't Hide (feat. Miranda Carey).

joelynn The whole album is an enjoyable slice of 80s nostalgia, especially on tape, but this retro hip hop song stands out, even if the line about a female President in 2016 has aged like a yogurt in the sun. Favorite track: 80s Baby (feat. Rhyme Time and Geneva).

"Wenn Worte überflüssig werden, beginnt der Moment, unaufhörlich von sich zu erzählen, wenn wir nur lauschen" Favorite track: Runaway (feat. SJBRAVO).

[Verse 1] First things first…80s baby I had to make a track ‘bout 80s ladies Spandex…silk shirts Big perms…short skirts First girl, heartbeat be stoppin’ Full House Lori Loughlin Then Elisabeth Shue Karate Kid 1, not Karate Kid II Y’all already know who used to drive me crazy Hair go big like top-down Mercedes Yo, I missed one, hold up, wait Ain’t nobody finer than Phoebe Cates Kathy, Cindy, Brinkley, too Eyes stay stuck like superglue I loved MC Lyte and Lisa Bonet, Michelle Pfeiffer too many to name [Chorus:] Ain't it funny how the times flies by in the blink of an eye If we could just rewind for just a little while Remember how things used to be, picture you and me Though it may be hazy, ooh yeah I'm an 80s baby [Verse 2] Kids today…they don’t understand The 80s were gnarly, like, totally, man Better bikes, better babes, better cars too Better tunes, better rooms, better cartoons PG-13 movies… …still showed lots of boobies Man, what’s better than that? Nothing! Actual fact. In the 80s, MJ still looked black Used to stay up real late Elvira lookin’ real great I was a Cali kid, Niners! Raiders! Pick the wrong one and you’re labeled a traitor Playing outside planning major capers Reading color comics in the Sunday papers Still not thinkin’ that the 80s were the best? Three letters: NES [Chorus:] Ain't it funny how the times flies by in the blink of an eye If we could just rewind for just a little while Remember how things used to be, picture you and me Though it may be hazy, ooh yeah I'm an 80s baby [Verse 3] Yo, I’ve been thinking a little bit I got a little ahead of myself, just a little bit The eighties were crazy in every way that I remembered it Until I remembered that, like, nobody had the internet No wi-fi, no high-speed No Brie Larson no Blake Lively So you wanted to catch ALF on a Tuesday… Tough luck, ‘cause ALF was on Mondays You had to wait six days for ALF to play But today, hell, go cop the blu-ray Our old tech were straight up frightening Need reminding of tape rewinding? It’s better now, what more do you need? We got PS4s! And legal weed! We got gay marriage! And IMAX screens! And a female President in 2016! YO! [Chorus:] Ain't it funny how the times flies by in the blink of an eye If we could just rewind for just a little while Remember how things used to be, picture you and me Though it may be hazy, ooh yeah I'm an 80s baby

[Verse 1] Can you see the fear etched in my face? Terrified everything we've built is going to go to waste. They say, don't be afraid when it comes your way. Isn't that easy to say, oh such a simple thing to say. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, please stay by my side. I don't want to face this alone tonight. Don't let me drift away. Girl I don't want to say goodbye. [Chorus] Take my hand and guide me through the stars. Show my heart exactly where you are. Oh baby, be my guide, my vision. Be the only thing I need. And if I should begin to fall. Your love makes me feel forever tall. Oh baby, be my guide, my vision. Be the only thing I need. [Verse 2] I can be so stubborn and I don't know why. Keep trying to hold back the tide. Without your loving strength by my side. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, please stay by my side. I don't want to face this alone tonight. Don't let me drift away. Girl I don't want to say goodbye. [Chorus] Take my hand and guide me through the stars. Show my heart exactly where you are. Oh baby, be my guide, my vision. Be the only thing I need. And if I should begin to fall. Your love makes me feel forever tall. Oh baby, be my guide, my vision. Be the only thing I need. [Outro] They say, don't be afraid when it comes your way. Isn't that easy to say, oh such a simple thing to say.
