Debbie Just Hit The Wall...

[Banzai]

Has anyone heard the song 1985? It's by Bowling for Soup, and is pretty good. I just heard it yesterday, but I don't know how long it's been out, as I was in WDW. Basicly, it talks about a woman who is stuck in 1985.

that song cracks me up!! i especially like the part "when did motley crue become classic rock!" makes me laugh everytime...

thought i'd post the lyrics for those who haven't heard it yet...

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 happened to her plan?

She was gonna be an actress
she was gonna be a star
she was gonna shake her ***
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
'cause she still preoccupied
with 19, 19, 1985

Woohoo
(1985)
Woohoo

She’s seen all the classics
she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
even st. elmos fire
she rocked out to wham
not a big Limp Biscuit 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 singing in Van Halen
when did reality become T.V.
what ever happen to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio there was)

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
'cause she still preoccupied
with 19, 19, 1985

Woohoo x4

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, stop,(tick tick tick)
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
'cause she still preoccupied
with 1985

Springsteen, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school

Good song to work out to.

"...she didn’t have it all

only been with one man
what happen to her plan?"

(edit) ahh....beat me to it

love it - we've had it for awhile but DH is in radio so I don't know when it was officially released as we often get things early.

make me nostalgic and a little sad....

The only thing that irritates me is that 1985 is actually a little early for some of the things mentioned...oh well they needed a rhyme and 1989 seems to late.
