1985 - This should be our theme song
 

"1985"

Woohoohoo
Woohoohoo

Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One Prozac a day
Husbands a CPA
Her dreams went out the door
When she turned twenty four
Only been with one man
What happen to her plan?

She was gonna be an actress
She was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake her ass
On the hood of white snake’s car
Her yellow SUV is now the enemy
Looks at her average life
And nothing has been alright since

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
Cuz she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Woohoohoo
(1985)
Woohoohoo

She’s seen all the classics
She knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
Even St.Elmo’s Fire
She rocked out to wham
Not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she’d get a hand
On a member of Duran Duran

Where’s the mini-skirt made of snake skin
And who’s the other guy that's singing in Van Halen
When did reality become T.V.
What ever happen to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio was)

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
Cuz she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Woohoohoo

She hates time make it stop
When did Motley Crew become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop
Stop!
And bring back

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
Cuz she's still preoccupied
With 1985

Woohoohoo

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV (woohoohoo)
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
Cuz she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Reasons for Children of the 80s to Feel Old

Remembering getting Chicken McNuggets in a styrofoam box.

 
Remembering schoolhouse rock!

Kids born in the 80's are now having kids of their own. Some born in the 60's and 70's are already grandparents.

Remember the show Remote Control on MTV? Adam Sandler in his early days on the best game show on TV!

The man who was president during many of our births, Ronald Reagan, passed away on Saturday, June 6, at the age of 93. He was an icon of the 1980s, and he will be missed. God bless you Ronald Reagan, you made many of us 80s kids proud Americans!!!!

Remember the little girl from "Savannah Smiles", well I just found out that she died back in 1997 at the age of 22. How sad is that?

 
Hearing 80s and 90s songs being played on oldies stations. Heard Pour Some Sugar On Me the other day on a classic rock (!) station. Nuff said.

Can you believe its been twenty years since we all heard "One,two Freddy's coming for you" and Molly Ringwald turned sixteen twenty years ago.

Brooke Shields is now on "That 70s Show," playing Jackie's mom. The girl who plays Jackie (Mila Kunis) is 21, but she played an 18-year old. It's almost scary when Brooke Shields is playing the mom of an older teenager!!! Wasn't she 18 in the 1980s????


Remembering a time when there was no Internet and being the last of a generation to buy vinyl records when they were still being sold new in record stores.

Wait a minute...Steve Guttenberg was FAMOUS?! (Just kidding!)

The Friday the 13th movies and the Nightmare on Elm St. movies were both classic 80s slashers. Now Freddy vs Jason DVD is released. Kids now want to know if this is "a sequel or something?" 

When kids these days see old albums (Rex Smith, Andy Gibb, Bay City Rollers) they  want to know "What kind of CD's are those?" Talk about making you feel old.

Molly Ringwald is now a mother!
 

Anybody who can rememember when TV programs didn't have ratings. Which came around in 1997. (i.e. TVG, TVPG, TV14, etc.) Recently videos from George Michael ("I Want Your Sex", uncensored), Warrant ("Cherry Pie"), 2 Live Crew ("Me So Horny"), Sir Mix-A-Lot ("Baby Got Back"), and Madonna ("Justify My Love") that were consider too controversial in 1985 are being played on MTV2, but now appear tame by today's standards. Including Madonna's "Justify My Love", which was banned from MTV in 1990!!!

You know who the Noid is.
 

 
During a break on TV Land they aired what they call a "retromercial". . . 'Where's The Beef?'! How could they do this to us 80's kids? What'll they show next, Max Headroom? Ernest? The California Raisins?
 
Something really shocking is The Cosby Show, Night Court, & Miami Vice, all turn 20 years old this year, but no special TV events are being planned. Why are the Cable TV people trying to make us feel old?!? Long Live The 80's!

Remember The Goonies, well did you hear they might make a sequel to it? If they do, it will be a late twenties and early thirties crowd that will go see it.

The lady that played the mom on "Growing Pains", Joanna Kerns aka Maggie Seaver, was only 32 years old when that show first aired back in 1985!! The guy who played her son Kirk Cameron, aka Mike Seaver, is 33 years old TODAY!!!!! He's older then his "mom" was back in 1985! Hahaha, it puts everything about life and past misconceptions about reality into a more clear perspective doesn't it? We all get older, and go from rebellious kids to responsbile grown ups and parents. We don't just stay in one age bracket or demographic forever. Hey that's just life.

 
 
I WANT MY MTV!!!

Remembering when Michael Jackson was black!!

Because it's 2004. 1984 was 20 years ago and 1994 was 10 years ago. 'Nuff said. How old will you be this year?

You really can't even begin to discuss the year 1985 without the Brat Pack. Demi, Andrew, Rob, Emilio, Judd, Anthony Michael, Molly, Ally. I could go on all day. Oh wait, there's one more brat packer, the chick from St Elmo's Fire who ate the PB&J with Rob Lowe, (Mare). Don't you remember? She loved him! It must have been the saxophone that got her all worked up.

1985 single handedly put a hole in the ozone layer. Hair was big- the bigger the better, and men were wearing makeup. Thanks to Vince Neil & Nikki Sixx, Aquanet & black eyeliner were a grocery list staple. Speaking of Motley Crue, their video "Home Sweet Home" paid tribute to wild groupies way before Kid Rock did.


"You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have, the facts of life."  Also on TV back in 1985, everyone's favorite secret agent: McGyver. Every week McGyver saved the world from some maniacal tyrant, but he took the high road and refused to carry a gun. However, he could make an atom bomb out of a post-it note and two paperclips. Richard Dean Anderson was hot, too. Wasn't he?


Dr. Rosenpenis himself, Chevy Chase, had a hit on his hands with "Fletch." "Can I borrow your towel? My car just hit a water buffalo." He was actually kinda sexy back then. Way before that whole talk show debacle.


You think Beanie Babies are cute? They've got nothing on Pound Puppies. Pound Puppies were the #1 selling toy of the year, thanks to all that yuppie cash. "Pound puppies, you're my one and only puppy love..." We also spent our money on a little doll for boys, named "My Buddy." Very un-pc. But the commercial you just couldn't get out of your head. Walking down the street singing "My Bud-dy, My Bud-dy..." you see, the inflection kinda goes down on the second "Buddy" - oh, whatever.

What was Eddie Murphy thinking when he sang "Party All The Time"? Was he trying to follow in Don Johnson's footsteps? You know that whole tv-star-turned-singer thing? Who knows, but it was silly. Not as silly as Pluto Nash, but hey, you know what else was silly? "The Superbowl Shuffle" with The Bears.


What if you could go Back To The Future like Marty McFly? Would you date your mom like he did? Maybe if your mom was as hot as Lea Thompson. Time travel never looked so good as that Delorean going 88 miles an hour. Don't even get me started on the flux capacitor. That thing was freakin' awesome. And long before he kicked David Letterman in the face, Crispin Glover made his movie debut. What a freak.

Finally, everybody's favorite everyman, John Cusack. Sigh. Now this guy didn't just land on the scene with a boombox blaring "In Your Eyes." He started off slowly, and somewhat awkwardly, with "Better Off Dead," and my all time personal favorite movie, "The Sure Thing." You got Anthony Edwards, Daphne Zuniga, and that woman who does the voiceovers for Hidden Valley Ranch dressing as a college professor. What's bad? Oh, and who didn't shotgun a beer or two way back when? Good times, people. Good times.
