I wrote a (current at the time!) skit "at the movies." It was a Siskel and Ebert deal, except Friskel and Siebert. The movies I wrote songs for was Grease (Look at me I'm an Alpha Xi), Beverly Hills Cop (it was a Pointer Sisters song but don't remember which one), and a third movie/song. It was a huge hit and soooo 80's.
My images of 80's is BIG HAIR with the ever-present can of aerosol hair spray and spackled on makeup. 3 or 4 colors of eye shadow was mandatory, and what was the point if you blended? People should KNOW you have 3 or 4 colors of eye shadow on. And big sweaters. Really big sweaters. If you wear a medium sweater now, go to Goodwill and find an old Benetton or Esprit sweater, but buy it in an extra large. And then add shoulder pads! I also associate the 80's with ridiculously long fingernails, but that may be because I HAD ridiculously long fingernails.
