Horrible song from the 80s - Puttin` on the ritz

This song is so scary, creepy, ugly, weird, and probably the worst HIT from the 80s!! shake

WOW, i didn`t know people actually liked it, but then again, i haven`t talked to anyone about this song before...
I like the idea of taking an old song from the 40s (or 50s) and give it an 80s make-over, but for me, it didn`t really work out.

I liked it. Cheezy song to tap dance to. That would be on my guilty pleasures list.
