about

This lead track from the album documents all the things we think were great about the 1980s, the things we remember that others overlook.

It was written long before unicorns were cool again, so there is every chance we are responsible for their renaissance.

lyrics

Whatever happened to the unicorns of the 1980s?
Whatever happened to the poster of the wolf against the moon?
Still said Marathon on the packet
Iron Maiden patches on my denim jacket

1980s
Air brushed ladies
Hunks holding babies
There was a fear of rabies

Whatever happened to John Craven bringing us the news?
Whatever happened to that sausage in the titles of Grange Hill?
Big shoulder pads and big hair
Soft focus ladies in their underwear

1980s
Air brushed ladies
Hunks holding babies
There was a fear of rabies

Do you remember when Rick Moranis seemed to be in every film?
Yes he did!
Do you remember when Margaret Thatcher tried to steal your milk ("erm, that was actually the 70s")
She's leaving you thirsty in the playground
Waiting to go home in time to watch Masters of the Universe
By the power of Grayskull

I have the power!
Barabara Woodhouse - walkies

1980s
Air brushed ladies
Hunks holding babies
There was a fear of rabies

1980s - Live Aid
1980s - Airwolk
1980s - Top Gun
1980s
