i liked annie a lot, and i see what you're getting at with the comparisons, but the modern fourishes for annie were in how the tunes aggressively attempted to bowl you over half in its throwback and half in the saturation.
shapiro and her friend seem to just be relying on a sense of timing (it's 1980 in 2007! quirky!) to revive an exact same thing that i regularly channel surf through in late night infomercials. i've been told that there's minimal modern tweaking to distinguish this from a bad abba compilation, but if it's there it doesnt affect how positively stale it sounds. and to me it's either calculated or just unwelcome.
