Starland Vocal Band — “Afternoon Delight” (1976)
The song “Afternoon Delight” has to be one of the most rehashed and overplayed in history. When the song first hit the airwaves, it was extremely sexually suggestive for its time, which is why it captivated listeners from all walks of life. However, closer examination reveals that the lyrics are illogical, and we can’t believe it’s still so popular that it was used as an opening monologue for Saturday Night Live in 2013.

Europe — “Final Countdown” (1986)
“Final Countdown,” a symbol of the 1980s, has shut down many dancefloors across Europe and is one of those songs that never seems to get old. Watching the music video conjures up images of the decade in which it was released, and it’s impossible not to feel nostalgic about it, even if the song stays in your head for a few hours afterward. Even as we write this, the chorus is stuck in our heads.
