On this week’s episode of Totally 80’s and 90’s Recall, Dave and Rob dive headfirst into the colorful world of 1980s one-hit wonders — those unforgettable artists who flashed across the charts like neon lightning and then vanished just as quickly. From the synth-heavy pulse of “Take On Me” by A-ha to the infectious groove of Dexys Midnight Runners’ “Come On Eileen,” the duo celebrates the decade’s most memorable moments of musical magic. Between laughs and trivia, they unpack what made these songs soar — and why, despite their fleeting fame, they still blast through every retro playlist today.

As always, Dave and Rob bring their trademark mix of humor, nostalgia, and deep pop culture knowledge, weaving in stories about MTV debuts, movie tie-ins, and the wild fashion choices that defined the era. Whether it’s debating which one-hit wonder deserved a second shot at stardom or reminiscing about cassette tapes and boombox sing-alongs, this episode is a total rewind to the golden age of guilty pleasures. Plug in your Walkman, crank up the volume, and get ready for a tubular trip through the 80s
