The Details
The 1980's saw the end of the Cold War, the fall of the Berlin Wall and a leap forward in terms of information technology. The music of the time was characterised by bad hairdos, heavy beats and a general 'feel good' vibe in many of the hit songs. But not everything about the 1980's was all fun and games. It saw the AIDS pandemic sweep across western culture, the election of Saddam Hussein to power and an emphasis on the importance of making money and capitalist ideals. As we know on a remote island in the Pacific it also saw the birth of the soon to be doomed Dharma Initiative, the brainchild of Gerald and Karen Degroot.
We ask you to take a song from this period (1980-1989) and switch the mood of the song around from sad/dramatic to fun/light hearted and vice-versa. Feel free to take a cheesy song and just poke fun at it with hilarious clips that make it sound silly or if you want take a more stylistic approach of interpreting the lyrics differently it's up to you!
