I saw this and thought of the good ol' 80s.

Anyone remember how every little girl wanted one of these?

I didn't want those. What I really wanted bad such that my mom took me to the Cabbage Patch Kids store in San Francisco was a Koosa and more specifically, the cat variant koosa. Mine was a pink color, boy cat. I forget what I named him.

I wasn't borned yet at the 80s, but in 90s we wanted Trolls https://youtu.be/pPDQqBki8nc?si=djDuKGkAyUXpn1HP&t=336

Yes, the good ol' 80s. It was a lot of fun.

I also remember the Garbage Pail Kids, or whatever it was. One of my cousins whom I grew up with had a lot of dolls as a kid, but I don't remember her having Cabbage Patch Kids. *shrug*

OP was this around in the 80s in Canada? Wiki says it was but not sure how much.
It was big in US though

Great call. It is interesting that MLP is still popular now! Koosa cat

Do you still have him? The very early beginnings of a cat person :) I love the fact that something from 80s is still widely recognized nowadays. This song is a perfect example. Play it and people still know it even if they were born in the 2000s.

It also makes me happy that Mario, Back to the Future,Indiana Jones and GhostBusters are still pretty well known today even by people born in 2000s. I was there for those franchise's origins back in the day, I never imagined they would last so long

ah the eighties, my long lost youth

Time of one of my favorite movie and that music i still have in a corner of my mind

I never understood this. Yes, I am aware about the reputation of the song as well as the nonsensical lyrics and the absolutely stupid music video ... but I can't help it. I love listening to it.

80s was the best time. Best movies, best music and best games - period.

I wasn't aware of some reputation for this song, so i googled around and
https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/readers-poll-the-10-worst-songs-of-the-1980s-20488
A truly ridiculous poll honestly , there are way way way worse in the eighties than any of those 10 songs
Well, i guess that's the perfect example of the old saying "opinions are like assholes, everybody has one" .

That's Ok because I can't understand how anyone can like it.The lyrics are stupid, the music is corny(for lack of a better word), and the chorus is not catchy at all. I was around when the song first came out, and I disliked it before it became well known as a hated song (I didn't know about everybody hating until the 2000s. I remember seeing a comedy theater group in 2003 where they mocked the song, and thinking "yeah that song SUCKED" . ). It's just a downright bad and incredibly stupid song imo.
My opinion/asshole:
Safety Dance was awesome. So was Mickey. Don't Worry Be Happy, Rock Me Amadeus were good. Lady in Red and Final Countdown were just whatever. Putting on the Ritz I did like back in the day, but I didn't know it was a cover so I guess I liked it because of the original version. Looking back now the Taco version seems pointless and adds nothing. Wake Me Up Before You GoGo and We Built This City were and still are obnoxious cheesy trash

Billy Ocean!

MV is a funky one :)
The Terminator before Terminator came out!

I played with this kind of stuff in the 80s.
