10/10! I don’t agree these were the worst songs of the 80’s. I love some of these songs. “Oh Mickey, your so fine. Your so fine, you blow my mind. Hey Mickey”!
I can think of a *lot* of 80s hits that were than these.
"I always feel like somebody's watching me..."
(Although that was pretty prophetic, now that we live under 24/7 electronic surveillance...)

10/10 I knew everyone of them, hate to admit I like some of those songs. Ssss. Aaaa. Ffff....Eeee..Tttt...Yyyy.... Fun video and catchy tune. But yes some would send me running for cover.
10/10 I loved ‘Safety Dance’! Hated ‘Mickey’ and ‘The Final Countdown’, and the video for Taco’s ‘Puttin’ on the Ritz gave me nightmares. I just watched it again, wondering if I’d still get creeped out! And yes, yes I did. That guy AND his piano player were beyond creepy! 😳
