"Back to the 80s" is a song by Norwegian/Danish band Aqua. The song was written by members Søren Rasted, Claus Norreen, and produced by Rasted, for their second greatest hits album (2009). "Back to the 80s" was Aqua's first single in eight years, following the release of the 2001 single "We Belong to the Sea". "Back to the 80s" was released on 25 May 2009 as the lead single from ''Greatest Hits''. ==Background and composition== The track name checks a number of 1980s icons, such as Ronald Reagan, orbital satellites, skinny leather ties, Don Johnson, ''Miami Vice'', M&M's, Michael Jackson, Commodore 64s, ''Soap'', ''Rocky'', Cherry Coke, Mr. T, Twisted Sister, MTV, Iron Maiden, 7 Up, Bananarama, ''The Breakfast Club'', Huey Lewis, ''Top Gun'', shoulder pads, David Hasselhoff, glam metal, Bill Cosby, the Rubik's Cube, ''Dynasty'', Moon Boots, Devo, Bubble Curls, ''Poltergeist'', Barbie (alluding to Aqua's signature song "Barbie Girl" from 1997), and ''Ferris Bueller's Day Off''. Upon international release of the single, the group decided to change the line ''"When M&M was just a snack and Michael Jackson's skin was black"'' from the original Danish release to ''"When M&M was just a snack and Arnie told us I'll be back"''. They decided on this, out of respect to Jackson, who died only a month after the single was released.〔(Aqua retter i teksten ), 14 August 2009〕 The song was released as a CD single in France on 9 November 2009. France is the only country receiving a CD release of "Back to the 80s", including the original song and two additional remixes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Back To The 80s gets a CD release in France )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Back to the 80s (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
