I get a feeling that you don't really get the whole idea behind the song...
Keeping in mind that it IS kind of a joke, I'd say that it serves its purpose to a 100%. The craftmanship is pretty spectacular keeping in mind all people that have tried to create the perfect present day 80's cliché song. You have to think of it as "how would this have been perceived as a movie soundtrack in 1984".

100% agreed. The whole thing is pretty well executed.
