Sesuai dgn judulnya, ‘Back To The 80’s’, single ini dibuka dgn iringan piano dan vocal kecentilan Lene Nystrøm Rasted yg dilanjutkan dgn vocal berat Rene Dif. Tanpa menghilangkan unsur Fun a la Aqua, mereka membuat single ini terasa tidak terlalu ‘cheesy’ dan masih terdengar asik dgn iringan electro dan musik 80-an. Video Clip dan Lyricsnya pun juga pastinya mencerminkan semua yg terjadi di thn 80-an… seperti Ronald Reagan, Michael Jackson (R.I.P),, Rocky, Twisted Sister, dan segala macamnya…
Gimana dgn faktor kesuksesannya? Utk sementara ini terbukti Single ini mampu jadi jawara di negara asal mereka sendiri yaitu di Denmark, dimana single ini jadi jawara di Danish Singles Chart sekaligus Airplay Chart tepat di tgl releasenya 5 Juni lalu. Untuk di Indo, single ini juga sudah direlease dan diantara gempuran single2 R&B yg makin menjamur belakangan ini, sepertinya Aqua agak sulit utk ‘melawan arus’.. hehe...
Lyrics “Back To The 80’s”
Back in the Ronald Reagan days
When we put satellites in space
When boys wore skinny leather ties, oo-oh-oh
Like Don Johnson from Miami Vice
When Eminem was just a snack
And Michael Jackson’s skin was black
Back when the coolest thing in store, oo-oh-oh
Was a Commodore 64
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
Back to the 80s
Back to Soap
Back to Rocky and Cherry Coke, yeah
Those were the days
And we go
Back to the 80s
Say ‘Hey there, Mister T.’
Put Twisted Sisters on MTV, yeah
Those were the days
I’ll come back
To Iron Maiden and 7-Up (Oo-oh yeah)
Bananarama and Breakfast Club
Come back (Yeah)
Come back (Yeah)
I’ll come back
When Huey Lewis was the news
And we went flying with Tom Cruise
When shoulder pads and looking tough, ooh-oh-oh
Was the dirty David Hasselhoff
Too many men with heavy makeup on (Hey)
Too many poodles with guitars
Thanks for all the joy you’ve given us
You will always be our superstars
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
Back to the 80s
Back to Soap (Back to soul)
Back to Rocky and Cherry Coke, yeah
Those were the days
And we go
Back to the 80s
Say ‘Hey there, Mister T.’
Put Twisted Sisters on MTV, yeah
Those were the days
I’ll come back
To Iron Maiden and 7-Up (Oo-oh yeah)
Bananarama and Breakfast Club
Come back (Yeah)
Come back (Yeah)
I’ll come back
(We love the 80s)
(Oh)
Hooray for Cosby and Rubik’s cube
Hooray for Dynasty and moon boots
Hooray for Devo and barber curls
Hooray for Poltergeist and Barbie girls
We love
We love
We love
We love
Back to the 80s (We love the 80s)
Back to Soap (We love it all)
Back to Rocky and Cherry Coke, yeah
Those were the days…
Let’s go back!
Back to the 80s (To Ferris Bueller)
To Mister T. (Yeah)
And Twisted Sisters on MTV, yeah
Those were the days
I’ll come back
To Iron Maiden and 7Up (Oo-oh yeah)
Bananarama and Breakfast Club
Come back (Yeah)
Come back (Yeah)
Let’s go back (to) (the 80s)
7Up
(We love it all)
(All the stars still standing tall)
Let’s go back (to) (the 80s)
Back (to) (the 80s)
Back (to) (the 80s)
7Up
(We love it all)
(All the stars still standing tall)
