For the 80's lovers on the true confessions thread

[Tiggeroo]

Have you heard this song yet. It cracks me up and I just know my kids are pointing to me behind my back... By the way I love this band and my kids make fun of me for that too.

BOWLING FOR SOUP LYRICS

"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 ***
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 Springstein, 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 Saint 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 Springstein, 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 Springstein, 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 Springstein, 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

Yes, that song cracks me up!!! The first time I heard it I was in the car and my kids (7 and 3) kept asking me why I was laughing at the radio. I was trying to explain it to them, but they didn't get it. My DD7 just shook her head and said mom, you're weird!

 

[Desiree]

I love that song! And the video is hilarious too!

 

[Tiggeroo]

i want to see the video

 

[welovedisneyx4]

LOVE IT!!!

My Office Manager and I turn it up and dance to it everytime it comes on the radio!!!

I'm not sure if this is the correct link, but try www.bowlingforsoup.com (mabey) and they did have the video on there. Does anyone else have the exact link?

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

I love it! thanks for the link. My friend has been telling me about this song... says it's my anthem! LOL!!

The video was funny!

 

[MB MinnieGirl]

:thewave: I love the 80's!

Haven't heard this song but would love it - you had me laughing my head off! Thanks for the smile today

My 14 year old niece is the coolest teen I know. She LOVES all the old 80's (and even 50's & 60's) music. She knows all the lyrics too! When we are driving and find old music or she brings her cd's, we just sing away and have sooo much fun! Of course Ds11 & DD9 think we are losers unless we are listening to M&M, Usher, 50 Cent, etc!
I still like a lot of the popular music too, but the older stuff is so much more fun!

 

[MagicalMom]

The first time I heard that song I felt for sure it was written about me. LOL

 

[Shelby5514]

I found the video to 1985 on Launch.com it is a Yahoo site. Here is a link, I hope it works....

[FroggyinArk]

Love the song and the video DD doesnt like either

 

[QueenTrident]

Love this song and the video! Every time I hear it, it stays in my head all day. I love the question, "When did Motley Crue become Classic Rock?" - it's so true!

 

[Jim from Jersey]

Great song......I was 15 in 85. Makes me want to put on my capezios and two tone jeans and go to the homecoming dance!
