We Are the Eighties

We Are the Eighties

"We Are The Eighties" was a television show on VH1 Classic that played videos from the 1980s. The segment is remembered for its opening montage, based mainly off the CG animation from Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" video, but also references other videos from the decade.

Among those videos and songs referenced in the open:
*"Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel
*"Whip It" by Devo
*"You Might Think" by The Cars
*"Addicted to Love" by Robert Palmer
*"Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson
*"Take On Me" by a-ha
*"Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" by Wham!
*"Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood

The series was eventually spun off into various compilation albums on Legacy Recordings.

The show is now titled "Totally '80s."
