What You Talkin’ ’Bout, Shannon | A Superman no one needed — and one that should’ve happened

Loading player...
Men Without Hats are back with a synthy love letter to the ’80s — and a masterclass in AABBCCDD rhyming.

Remember when the biggest fear in the ’80s was getting strapped to a lie detector? Gary Coleman’s wife took one to clear her name over his death — and the results were shakier than Mr. Drummond doing the Moonwalk.

Paulo reviews Airwolf before Airwolf , and we dig up an ’80s Superman TV show nobody asked for.
