Remember when Video Killed the Radio Star warned us about technology ruining music?
Then MTV showed up… and for a while, it was glorious.
In this full episode, we revisit the golden age of one-hit wonders — and what those songs mean now that we’re a little older (and slightly more stretched before activity).
We break down:
Tainted Love – from heartbreak to “high-definition love”
Come On Eileen – from passion to tee times
Take On Me – from comic-book adventure to chasing the TV remote
867-5309/Jenny – and the risks of trusting bathroom stall phone numbers
Mickey, I Ran (So Far Away), The Safety Dance, and Walking on Sunshine — reinterpreted through adulting, golf bags, Fireball, orthopedic shoes, and grocery store closing times.
Because the songs didn’t change.
We did.
🎙️ This episode is for anyone who:
Grew up on 80s pop
Misses music videos being about music
Now stretches before dancing
Gets genuinely excited about a good parking spot
If you’re 50+, this one will hit differently.
If you’re younger… this is your warning.
