20 Songs You Danced To Balloons In The ’80s (And Didn’t Remember Anymore)

That yellow or black plastic tarp covering the gate was legal. And a broom that was always left in someone’s hand. The 1980s were remarkable in many ways, but few like those dances to the sound of pop music with strange lyrics and performed by bands that disappeared in time. And played on cassette tapes on a 3-in-1 player.

O awesome.club made a killer list of hits from the decade that are no longer so easy to remember. The ballads of Cyndi Lauper, Phil Collins and The Police we all remember. But do you remember who Brenda Russell, Paul Young and Mr. Mr? If you are close to 40 years old or are curious about those times, we invite you to take a trip back in time. As nostalgic as it is funny.
