      It's *'80s* ...not "80's".
      The apostrophe goes before the 8, not after the 0. The reason is because _'80s_ is a shorthand way of writing _1980s._

      +Alvaro Is Awesome I'm sorry, but I disagree with your music Teacher, she shouldn't even compare Weird Al to Bart Baker, there's a big difference man. For one, most of Bart Baker's skits in his songs rely off of stereotypes of today's pop culture, which is extremely weak in its own right, Weird Al (While still doing parodies) does make original concepts based off of his OWN creations, hell, the only things similar are the lyrics really, I mean, take a look at Amish Paradise, come on... tell me that's not just a beautiful idea. Another thing, Bart Baker constantly shits out parodies of songs that become popular to profit off of it, while Weird Al started making parodies with the soul purpose of making content others could enjoy, he never realized he'd become famous from it, sure I guess the same could be said about Bart Baker, but if you make shitty parodies constantly that are aimed towards the teen demographic, eventually someone's going to start talking about it, then someone else, and then he's famous, rolling in that youtube money. Honestly, there's more to be said, but I really don't feel like explaining it any further, just watch a few of Weird Al's videos, then watch Bart's, the difference will become very clear.
