The Wrappers - Mixtape Lyrics

Let's kick it back to the 80s rewind the tape
When the beats dropped hard and the styles took shape
Michael told us to "Beat It" with every escape
And "Relax" by Frankie hit hard its impact great

Run-DMC and Aerosmith they taught us to "Walk This Way"
While Prince reigned purple every night and day
"Don't Stop Believin'" Journey had their say
And the Eurythmics dreamt sweet in a world of gray

Mix Tape a rewind to the neon glow
When the music had heart and the vinyls would flow
From "Billie Jean" to "With or Without You"
The 80s a canvas of a vivid hue

Bon Jovi lived "On a Prayer" in the limelight
While U2 found "What they're looking for" in the fight
Guns N' Roses "Sweet Child" a rock anthem's might
And "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" Cyndi Lauper bright

Wham! shook us with "Wake Me Up" and their upbeat creed
With every mix tape a seed
Of memories in a cassette a creed
The 80s where music took the lead

This Mix Tape a tribute to the times
When bands were legends and singers in their primes
From the rock anthems to the pop rhymes
The 80s forever in our minds

Huey Lewis and the News questioned "The Power of Love"
While the Police wondered "Every Breath You Take" from above?
Duran Duran by the moon "Hungry like the Wolf"
And "Thriller" had us moonwalking under the roof

Let's not forget Whitney "I Wanna Dance with Somebody"
And "Eye of the Tiger" pumped us up Rocky's testimony
"Sweet Dreams" were made of these Annie Lennox artsy
And "Another One Bites the Dust" Queen party

So here's to the 80s in a mix tape spun
A decade of music second to none
With every track a new journey begun
The 80s where we all won

Mix Tape our ride through the past
With 80s tunes that were built to last
A decade of sound vast
In our hearts these songs we cast

Press play on that Mix Tape let it roll
The soundtrack of the 80s in our soul
For each song plays a role
In the story of the decade we extol
