Starland Vocal Band — “Afternoon Delight” (1976)
“Afternoon Delight” has got to be one of the most rehashed, overplayed songs in all of history. The track was extremely sexually suggestive for its time when it first hit the airwaves, hence why it captured the imagination of people from all walks of life. On closer inspection, the lyrics don’t seem to make much sense, and we can’t believe that it is still so popular, that it even managed to be used for an opening monologue for SNL back in 2013.

Europe — “Final Countdown” (1986)
The symbol of the 1980’s, “Final Countdown” has closed down many dancefloors around Europe and is one of those songs that never quite seems to grow old. Watching the music video will certainly drum up some images of the decade it was released in, and it’s impossible not to feel nostalgic about it, even if the song does end up occupying space in your head for a few hours after. We’ve even got the chorus stuck in our heads while writing this.
