ok this is real cheesy Europop, but it's fun and a I think a great tongue-in-cheek tribute to the 80's decade... and it is catchier and more fun than anything on pop radio today [:D]

they had to change the Michael Jackson reference, cuz he passed away shortly after this came out

Back in the Ronald Reagan days
When we put satellites in space
When boys wore skinny leather ties
Like Don Johnson from Miami Vice
When Eminem was just a snack
And Michael Jackson’s skin was black
Back when the coolest thing in store
Was a Commodore 64

Back to the 80s
Back to Soap
Back to Rocky and Cherry Coke, yeah
Those were the days
And we go
Back to the 80s
Say ‘Hey there, Mister T.’
Put Twisted Sisters on MTV, yeah
Those were the days
I’ll come back
To Iron Maiden and 7Up
Bananarama and Breakfast Club

I’ll come back
When Huey Lewis was the news
And we went flying with Tom Cruise
When shoulder pads and looking tough,
Was the dirty David Hasselhoff
Too many men with heavy makeup on
Too many poodles with guitars
Thanks for all the joy you’ve given us
You will always be our superstars

closer to NW/synthpop you can check out Soren Rasted's band Hej Matematik.
They sing in Danish, but rather good melodic synthpop, and successful in Denmark having a few chart hits.
