I love typography posters, and ones with song lyrics are even better. This piece by Dallas Shaw features my favorite part of 'The Safety Dance' by Men Without Hats: "Because your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, well they're no friends of mine."
Check out some other retro typography art below, and be sure to relive the '80s by watching the Men Without Hats video above.
Implications - Consumers are currently turning to nostalgia-inducing products as a coping mechanism for the ever-changing technological and economic front. Corporations can capitalize on this new consumer spending pattern by releasing products and providing services which hearken to specific culturally significant decades, satiating consumers' need for familiarity and giving them solace.
