Oh the 80’s, the time when neon colors were the trend and where disco was at its peak.

The 80’s was when men could wear their hair in ponytails and look really hot; where smiley pins looked good when pinned anywhere; when scrunchies and huge earrings were the main accessories, and when you had to wear shoulder pads in order to avoid a naked feeling.

Remember how music was so different? Every artist had their own style back then so it was difficult to choose a favorite. Many ended up with a lot of cassette tapes (which may still work now) since every artist had something which can tickle their fancy.

Now, we came up with 5 of the 80’s most popular dance songs:

Into the Groove – Madonna
