…we had this one and I think I listened to the title track a zillion times:

Abracadabra by the Steve Miller Band - of all the music my parents would listen to while I was growing up, I think Steve Miller was the one I remember the most(and some of the outrageous Alice Cooper & Frank Zappa album covers too). My Mom had a thing for psychedelic jam music and when you write a song with lyrics like “time keeps slipping - into the future” complete with space sound effects you were pretty much guaranteed to be in heavy rotation at my house growing up. I remember listening to this 80s Steve Miller track in the car and rewinding it many many times. To me this song completely reminds me of the 80s - from childhood nostalgia as mentioned and also from the 80s production aesthetic. The completely synthetic synth keyboard riffs, the blues guitar fills, the dry instrumentation, and the chorus effect on the vocals in certain parts. This screams 80s.
