Porque gostamos tanto dos anos 80?

Será um mero revivalismo de quem os viveu nos verdes anos, ou haverá algo de realmente especial que justifique o gozo de revisitar os cromos dos anos 80? Fomos investigar o tema.

Porque é que a geração dos nascidos entre 1970 e 1980 — mais ano, menos ano — tem uma relação tão emocional com as memórias dos anos 80? O que nos leva a consumir produtos como a Caderneta de Cromos, de Nuno Markl, e a ir aos concertos que voltam a reunir bandas dessa época? O que nos faz partilhar pela enésima vez o texto “Se nasceste antes de 1986”, que circula há vários anos pelas redes sociais, enaltecendo a liberdade das nossas infâncias, contra os excessos de tecnologia e de regulação securitária dos dias atuais?

De acordo com os reguladores e burocratas, todos nós que nascemos nos anos 60, 70 e princípios de 80, não devíamos ter sobrevivido até hoje. (…) Quando éramos pequenos viajávamos em carros sem cintos e airbags, viajar à frente era um bónus e uma guerra, para os que têm irmãos e irmãs. (…) Comíamos batatas fritas, pão com manteiga e bebíamos groselha com açúcar, sumos e Coca-Cola, mas nunca engordávamos porque estávamos sempre a brincar lá fora. (…) Estávamos incontactáveis e ninguém se importava com isso.

Havia desenhos animados (Abelha Maia, Sindbad, Conan, He-Man, Dartacão, Willie Fog, Bocas, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, etc.), séries e programas giros (Duarte & Companhia, Buck Rogers, Galáctica, Espaço 1999, O Justiceiro, Soldados da Fortuna, Alf, Rua Sésamo, etc.), mas não dependíamos da TV. (…) Íamos a pé para casa dos amigos. Acreditem ou não íamos a pé para a escola. Não esperávamos que a mamã ou o papá nos levassem.

Podemos responder simplesmente que toda a gente gosta de lembrar a sua infância e de dizer que no seu tempo é que era bom. Ou podemos justificar que essa geração, agora nos trintas-quarentas, é quem hoje dita o entretenimento que é servido nos talk-shows televisivos e no horário nobre das rádios. Mas estaríamos assim a ignorar algumas características específicas que tornam a década de 80 icónica.

O que explica que os clássicos das Doce continuem a incendiar algumas pistas de dança e que José Cid mantenha uma popularidade invejável nas festas académicas? Que bandas novas como os Ciclo Preparatório e Os Capitães da Areia, cujos membros nasceram já na década de 90, assumam a estética e sonoridade da pop portuguesa dos anos 80 e tenham a Lena d’Água, diva nacional dos anos 80, como talismã? Ou que uma rádio que passa música entre 1970 e 2000 se chame simplesmente M80? Afinal, o que têm de tão especial os anos 80?

We're Not Gonna - Take It Twisted Sister


We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it anymore

We've got the right to choose
And there ain't no way we'll lose it
This is our life, this is our song
We'll fight the powers that be just
Don't pick our destiny, 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong

We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it anymore

Oh, you're so condescending
Your gall is never ending
We don't want nothin'
Not a thing, from you
Your life is trite and jaded
Boring and confiscated
If that's your best
Your best won't do

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

We're right (yeah)
We're free (yeah)
We'll fight (yeah)
And you'll see (yeah)

No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore

We're not gonna take it (No!)
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore
(Just you try and make us)

We're not gonna take it (come on)
No, we ain't gonna take it
(You're all worthless and weak)
We're not gonna take it anymore
(Now drop and give me twenty)

We're not gonna take it
(A pledge pin)
No, we ain't gonna take it
(On your uniform)
We're not gonna take it anymore

Walking On Sunshine - Katrina And The Waves


I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure.
And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door
Now every time I go to the mailbox, gotta hold myself down
'Cause I just can't wait till you write me you're coming around

Now I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
And don't it feel good?!

I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it's true
But I just can't spend my whole life just-a waiting for you
I don't want you back for the weekend, not back for a day
'Cause baby I just want you back and I want you to stay
Now I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
And don't it feel good?!

Walking on sunshine
Walking on sunshine
I feel alive, I feel a love, I feel a love that's really real
I feel alive, I feel a love, I feel a love that's really real
I'm on sunshine baby, oh yeah!
I'm on sunshine baby

Now I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, oh oh!
And don't it feel good?!

Your Love - The Outfield


Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I wanna say
You know I like my girls a little bit older

I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I ain't got many friends left to talk to
No one's around to run when I'm in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay the night but keep it undercover

I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Try to stop my hands from shaking
But something in my mind's not making sense
It's been a while since we were all alone
I can't hide the way I'm feeling

As you're leaving, please would you close the door?
And don't forget what I told you
Just 'cause you're right, that don't mean I'm wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon

I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

Lose your love
Lose your love
Lose your love

Careless Whisper - George Michael


I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all it's sad goodbyes

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we'd want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me?
Please stay!

And I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

(Now that you're gone) now that you're gone
(Now that you're gone) what I did's so wrong, so wrong
That you had to leave me alone?

Every Breath You Take - The Police


Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you

Oh, can't you see?
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around, but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying, baby, baby, please

Oh, can't you see?
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take

Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you

Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you

I'll be watching you

(Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take)

I'll be watching you

(Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay)

I'll be watching you

(Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake)

I'll be watching you

(Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay)

I'll be watching you

(Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take)

I'll be watching you

(Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay)

Hunting High And Low - a-ha


Here I am
And within the reach of my hands
She's sound asleep and she's sweeter now
Than the wildest dream could have seen her
And I watch her slipping away
But I know

I'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths
I'll go to hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go

To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark
I sense the pounding of her heart next to mine
She's the sweetest love I could find
So I guess

I'll be hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths
I'll go to high and low
High
Do you know what it means to love you?

I'm hunting high and low
And now she's telling me she's got to go away
I'll always be hunting high and low
Hungry for you (and now she's telling me)
Watch me tearing myself to pieces
Hunting high and low
High
There's no end to the lengths I'll go to
Oh, for you, I'll be hunting high and low

Óculos - Os Paralamas do Sucesso


Se as meninas do leblon
Não olham mais pra mim
(Eu uso óculos)
E volta e meia
Eu entro com meu carro pela contramão
(Eu tô sem óculos)
Se eu tô alegre
Eu ponho os óculos e vejo tudo bem
Mas se eu tô triste, eu tiro os óculos
Eu não vejo ninguém

Por que você não olha pra mim? Ô ô
Me diz o que é que eu tenho de mal ô ô
Por que você não olha pra mim?
Por trás dessa lente tem um cara legal
Oi oi oi oi oi

Eu decidi dizer que eu nunca fui o tal
Era mais fácil se eu tentasse
Fazer charme de intelectual
Se eu te disser
Periga você não acreditar em mim
Eu não nasci de óculos
Eu não era assim não

Por que você não olha pra mim? Ô ô
Me diz o que e que eu tenho de mal ô ô
Por que você não olha pra mim?
Por trás dessa lente tem um cara legal

Por que você não olha pra mim? Ô ô
Por que você diz sempre que não? Ô ô
Por que você não olha pra mim?
Por trás dessa lente também bate um coração

Coming Around Again - Carly Simon


Baby sneezes
Mommy pleases
Daddy breezes in
So good on paper
So romantic
But so bewildering

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart

You pay the grocer
Fix the toaster
Kiss the host Good-bye
Then you break a window
Burn the Soufflé
Scream a lullaby

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It's coming around again
So don't mind if I fall apart
There's more room in a broken heart

And I believe in love
But, what else can I do?
I'm so in love with you

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It will be coming around again

Baby sneezes (I believe in love)
Mommy pleases (I believe in love)
Daddy breezes in (I believe in love)

I know nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It will be coming around again

I do believe
I do believe
I believe in love...

Coming around again
Coming around again
Nothing stays the same
But if you're willing to play the game
It will be coming around again

I believe in love (I believe in love)
I believe in love (I believe in love)
And it's coming around again

Another Day In Paradise - Phil Collins


She calls out to the man on the street
Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep
Is there somewhere you can tell me?

He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh, think twice
'Cuz it's another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
'Cuz it's another day for you
You and me in paradise

Think about it

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's trying

Oh, think twice
Cuz it's another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
It's just another day for you
You and me in paradise

Just think about it

Oh, Lord!
Is there nothing more anybody can do?
Ooh, ooooh, oh Lord!
There must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cause she didn't fit in there

Oh, think twice
Cuz it's another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
It's just another day for you
You and me in paradise

Just think about it
Think about it

It's just another day
For you and me in paradise

It's just another day
For you and me in paradise

Paradise
Just think about it

Paradise
Just think about it

The Number Of The Beast - Iron Maiden


[Barry Clayton]
Woe to you, oh, earth and sea
For the devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon
The number of the beast for it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty six

[Bruce Dickinson]
I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind
What did I see? Can I believe
That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy?

Just what I saw in my old dreams
Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?
'Cause in my dreams, it's always there
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair

Yeah!

The night was black, was no use holding back
'Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me?
In the mist, dark figures move and twist
Was all this for real or just some kind of hell?

666, the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry, hands held to the sky
In the night, the fires are burning bright
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done

666, the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight

This can't go on, I must inform the law
Can this still be real or just some crazy dream?
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerize, can't avoid their eyes

666, the number of the beast
666, the one for you and me

I'm coming back, I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire, I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take its course

Voyage Voyage - Desireless



Au dessus des vieux volcans
Glisse des ailes sous les tapis du vent
Voyage, voyage
Eternellement
De nuages en marécages
De vent d'Espagne en pluie d'équateur
Voyage, voyage
Vole dans les hauteurs
Au dessus des capitales
Des idées fatales
Regarde l'océan

Voyage, voyage
Plus loin que la nuit et le jour (voyage voyage)
Voyage (voyage)
Dans l'espace inouï de l'amour
Voyage, voyage
Sur l'eau sacrée d'un fleuve indien (voyage voyage)

Sur le Gange ou l'Amazone
Chez les blacks, chez les sikhs, chez les jaunes

Sur les dunes du Sahara
Des iles Fidji au Fujiyama
Voyage, voyage
Ne t'arrêtes pas
Au dessus des barbelés
Des coeurs bombardés
Regarde l'océan

Tic Tic Nervoso - Magazine


Estou preso no trânsito com pouca gasolina
O calor tá de rachar e lá fora é só buzina
Perdi o meu emprego, que já era mixaria
E ontem fui assaltado em plena luz do dia!

Isso me dá tic tic nervoso
Tic tic nervoso, tic tic nervoso
Isso me dá tic tic nervoso
Tic tic nervoso, tic tic nervoso

Quando chego em casa é aquela baixaria
As contas estão vencidas e a geladeira tá vazia!
Encontro uma garota, um tremendo avião
pergunto o seu nome ela me diz que é João!

Isso me dá tic tic nervoso
Tic tic nervoso, tic tic nervoso
Isso me dá tic tic nervoso
Tic tic nervoso, tic tic nervoso

Eu sempre me achei um rapaz normal
Que esse papo de analista fosse coisa pra boçal
Agora me chamam de esquisito
De sujeito atrapalhado
Só por causa desse meu jeito
Todo torcido assim pro lado!

É que eu fiquei com tic tic nervoso
Tic tic nervoso, tic tic nervoso
É que eu fiquei com tic tic nervoso
Tic tic nervoso, tic tic nervoso

Estou preso no trânsito com pouca gasolina
o calor tá de rachar e lá fora é só buzina
Antigamente todos tinham esperança de vencer
E acontece que hoje em dia não dá mais pra se viver!

Viver sem ter tic tic nervoso
Tic tic nervoso, tic tic nervoso
Viver sem ter tic tic nervoso
Tic tic nervoso, tic tic nervoso

Viver sem ter tic tic nervoso
Tic tic nervoso, tic tic nervoso
Isso me dá tic tic nervoso
Tic tic nervoso, tic tic nervoso

99 Luftballons - Nena


99 Luftballons
Nena

-99 Luftballons-
Hast du etwas Zeit für mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem weg zum Horizont
Denkst du vielleicht gerad' an mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Und das sowas von sowas kommt

99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem weg zum Horizont
Hielt man für UFOs aus dem All
Darum schickte ein General
eine Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben, wenn's so wär
Dabei war'n da am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons

99 Düsenflieger
jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Das gab's ein großes Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons

99 Kriegsminister
Streichholz und Benzinkanister
Hielten sich für schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen: Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer hätte das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons

99 Jahre Krieg
Ließen keinen platz für Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt's nicht mehr
Und auch keine Düsenflieger
Heute zieh ich meine Runden
Seh' die Welt in Trümmern liegen
Hab' einen Luftballon gefunden
Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen
