What was the mullet called in the 80s?

by Omega_brownie

It's pretty well known that the "mullet" hairstyle got it's name from the Beastie Boys song, what was in actually called in it's era? When somebody went to the barber and wanted that hairstyle, what did they ask for? Or did they just say "long at the back with no fringe"?
