Aqua: 'Back To The 80s'

Oh yes, they really are back! If you thought the purveyors of such cheesy mid-90s favourites as 'Barbie Girl' and 'Doctor Jones' had disappeared into some far off fantasy land, prepare for a blast from the past. Eight years since they split up, and fresh from topping the charts in their native Denmark, Aqua are here to administer another dose of chirpy throwaway pop.

Not unsurprisingly, 'Back To The 80s' isn't an attempt by the group to go all La Roux on us. Instead it's a faintly ridiculous novelty record laden with references to their favourite decade. Rhyming "7-Up" with "Breakfast Club" and "Rubik's Cube" with "moon boots", the great Danes show they haven't lost that golden songwriting touch. With an irresistible chorus hook to boot, this is unashamedly cheesy and positively trashy pop music, but what more could you possibly want from Aqua?
