VH1 US offers a 3D flashback to the music of the 1980s
MUMBAI: VH1 US has announced a new initiative that puts the funk back into the music of the 1980s.
VH1 is showcasing the initiative I Love the 80s: 3D this week. Rock stars and celebrities from that decade will come together once more to wax poetic about the essential 1980s experience, and this time it will be a vision altering event.
From Jheri-curls to Rat-tails, Oak Ridge Boys to Fine Young Cannibals, Star Search to Spenser for Hire, Cannonball Run to Naked Gun, the offbeat nostalgia show will bring viewers a skewed view of the music, movies, TV shows, fashions, fads, and trends that defined pop culture during every year of that decade.
Viewers can pick up their free 3D eyeglasses at Best Buy stores across America. Each one-hour episode of I Love The 80s: 3D offers an adventure through a single year, celebrating the good, the bad, and the greedy through retro clips from sitcoms, movies, music videos, TV commercials, network news and other sources — plus more than 200 new interviews with the people who survived the decade that created ‘the fruit roll-up’.
