[Verse 1]
This one goes out to all the people into pop
To the Frankies going to Hollywood
Please wake me up before you go-go
'Cause there's something I wanna know
Did Mark King reach Level 43?
Did Boy George date Terence Trent D'Arby?
I heard the guys in Bros. are sisters
Like the girls in Mr. Mister

[Hook]
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties?
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties?
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties?
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties?

[Verse 2]
Thank god, Rick Astley gave us up
When will the Scorpions break up?
Next time you think about going retro
This is what you ought to know
A Sam Fox comeback and a Crowded House
These are the things I can do without
Mr. Hutchence is no longer INXS
'Cause revivals have no class
[Hook]
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties?
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties?
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties?
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties?

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge:]
I wanna know, I wanna
I wanna know, I wanna
I wanna know, I wanna
I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna
I wanna know, I wanna
I wanna know, I wanna
I wanna know, I wanna know

[Outro]
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties?
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties? (I wanna know)
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties? (Where did they go-go?)
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties? (I wanna know)
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties? (I wanna know)
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties? (I wanna know)
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties? (I wanna know)
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties? (I wanna know)
(Woh-oh) Whatever happened to the Eighties? (I wanna know)
