2 COUNTDOWN EXPLOSION sends you back to the decade that time tried to...the 80s. Counting Down the 80s is very entertaining, wait till you see the costumes and choreography. If you thought the 70s were funny our rendition of this decade. Big beats, big shoulder pads and even bigger hair we capture it all. Leopard skin pants and ridiculously bright makeup... and that's just the guys! Talk about crimes of fashion. From Cindy Lauper and Madonna to Devo, every 80s hit is a memory from the time vault of retro reminiscence. Even though some of today's audiences are too young to remember, they have embraced 80s music wholeheartedly. It 's no wonder the 80s were the definition of amusing, musical madness, with Michael Jackson and Madonna leading the way.
