Caught the song 1985 by Bowling for Soup on the radio while driving home the other day and thought it was hysterical. Well, maybe not really that funny but I can relate. Full lyrics after the break. What is it with the '80s when it comes to music? I don't recall radio stations having "Flashback '70s" hours or nights back in the 1990's. Anyway, I guess there's a lot of our generation out there cause the song's currently #1 on the iTunes Music Store. Rock on!
Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One Prozac a day
Husband's 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 ass
On the hood of Whitesnake’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
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 snakeskin?
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)
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
Woohoohoo
She hates time; make it stop
When did Motley Crue become classic rock? (classic rock)
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop, stop, stop! (tick tick tick)
And bring back
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
(Woohoohoo)
Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana (1985)

And music still on MTV (1985) (Woohoohoo)

'Cause she still preoccupied
With 19 19 1985
