I noticed the 80's are starting to be mined for material... My kid was watching some crap on Disney Channel the other day.
They had one kid with punk rocker hair, and another New Wave looking kid with a skinny tie and sport coat singing Kids Of The Future.
It was just a slightly mangled version of Kim Wilde "Kids In America".

You have no idea.  There are 6 or 7 movies currently in the works which will either be remakes or sequals of classic 80's movies.  Off the top of my head I remember them saying Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure, Short Circuit, and Beverly Hills Cop, but I know there are several more that I'm forgetting.

Man...how could a kid of today know what the hell was cool about the 80's?
Anyhow...

The Disney Channel has been 'mining' the 80s for material non-stop since the 1980s.

Didn't realize that, but haven't really been exposed to the whole kid scene until a couple years ago.
Hadn't really heard a direct lift of an 80's tune redone until that Kids In America ripoff.
