Men Without Hats have created the perfect time machine of a song in "I Love The 80's". Who would have thought we would be listening to new music from the band more than 40 years after their first big hit.

I think #MenWithoutHats would of been more successful if they called themselves Men Without Pants.

I mean, it's probably a shameless cash grab. There's both some Safety dance and Pop goes the world in there. But i like it. #MenWithoutHats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV6SF492hNU
@steter I can't help it! I have to respond with this #80s #MenWithoutHats #MusicVideo with the infamous French Canadian snowman 🤣
Small world, #Canadian music share -> My fab fellow photographer friend, Jam, is still good friends with Ivan Doroschuk, lead vocalist/founding member of Men Without Hats. They attended university together in Quebec. I met Ivan & his son at one of Jam's past Halloween parties in Fairfield. He's a really awesome, down to Earth guy 🙂

80's synthpop act Men Without Hats is back with "I Love the '80s!"
Love the riff that sounds kind of similar to "The Safety Dance." 80's references are also abound in the lyrics. This line captures me perfectly: "I love the '80s, the decade that made me." Check it out and see what you think.
Do you know what she’s saying in The Safety Dance? I’ve been wrong for 42 years. 🤣

I was like "FFS spare me from this cheesy rose-tinted nostalgia crap" and then they made a Cure reference and I was like "aww, what a cute song"
Apparently, Men Without Hats dropped a new song recently called "I Love the 80s" and it's exactly as you'd expect, full of synth, and Ivan Doroschuk's voice which has not changed one bit since the 80s. https://song.link/y/gV6SF492hNU
...It's a lot of fun.

A sadly-overlooked track on a sadly-overlooked album:
https://genius.com/Men-without-hats-in-the-21st-century-lyrics
…
Oh when the river runs dry, what will we do
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA OH-HOO
In the 21st century
…
Hope that the earth don't tire, of the way that we're puttin her down
Hope the universe don't say - stop spinning around
Hope the world don't say that we've got no place to go
Hope the universe don't say "I'll be expanding for a while, you? NO."
