From the way it sounds, I'm pretty sure everyone got laid to it in the 80's.

And KC, yeah that's kinda interesting. Weird how that works out.

I don't think it was so much that music sucked, but that the song itself was MASSIVE. You'd hear it everywhere, from little kids to grandparents. You couldn't find anyone who hadn't heard it.  Personally, I wasn't a big fan of the song, but my elementary school girlfriend was, so you know how that goes...

I wouldn't feel too bad if I were you. Noah Hanson's song was probably performed by the Glen Miller Orchestra.
