Lost in Your Eyes, Debbie Gibson
Little Sam Burnett first heard Devo's song "Whip It" when he was about two years old, and he couldn't get enough. The experience had a huge effect on him, and he began to obsess over 1980s music after that.
The next song that Sam's mom (also an 80s music enthusiast) intoduced him to was "Hold Me Now" by the Thompson Twins. Sam became hooked on the genre. He even created a drawing that illustrated the song, and has been doing it ever since. Take a look at Sam's illustrations over the years. His charming visual interpretations of the music are classics.

They've had some press in the last few months, which I've now reviewed. In the comments of this article, a reader had the same suspicions you shared. Although to be fair to the kid's mom, many of the drawings on their Twitter account look fine, and I haven't seen anyone question them on Twitter, which I'd certainly expect with that platform. I'd love to think the boy is just a really unusual little artist.
