Wax off."

"Synthesizer".
You can sing the McDonald's Big Mac,
Filet-o-fish, quarter pounder and French fry song.
You know who Mr. T is.

You remember when ATARI was a state of the
art video game system.

lunch box.
You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the ONLY female
Smurf.
You know what leg warmers are and probably had a pair.
You wore biker shorts underneath a short skirt and felt
stylish.
You wore your Izod shirt with the collar up.

Happy Meal.

on.
You had to change into play clothes after school.
You owned or knew somebody with a Commodore 64.
You hated Scrappy Doo.
You recorded songs off the radio with your boom
box.
You wish you had a light saber.
Somehow you still know all the words to songs
played on VH1's "Big 80's" ("it's been 7 hours &
15 days...")
Your arm was full of rubber bracelets.
You have ever said, "Gag me with a spoon."
You have ever wondered what happened to Saturday morning
cartoons.
You had to get up to change the channel.
You can still sing 1 to 12 from the Pinball machine on
Sesame Street.
You thought the "Thriller" video was pretty cool.
You remember the first time you went into a video store to
rent a
movie.
You wore those wide, colorful shoelaces.

Wow well I did not grow up in the 80's actually I grew up in the 70's so although I grew up then we did learn a lot of things but I am happy to learn the way you grew up in the States as it is very different to the way we grew up here in Australia, but some of the ways you did things were the same as us.


myLot reputation of 98/100. raydene (5491)  5 years ago

I always thought it was "psych" instead of "sike". I guess I just said it and never wrote it. A lot of these don't apply to me cause I'm a guy. A lot of them do though cause I'm a guy. LOL Ahhh Quiet Riot! Did you come up with this list yourself?


myLot reputation of 98/100. raydene (5491)  5 years ago

No...One of my brilliant friends sent it to me.It took me back a little...I kept thinking where has the time gone!
Thanks

I remember all of those, and it sure brings back the memories!;)

I was fond of the McDonald's themesong, the tv shows, the music, the hairdo's, the clothing styles and of course, games we used to play back then!;)
I think 80's is one of the best years that I treasure most, as this was my childhood days that got stuck in my mind for a looong tome.
This was also the time where our country toppled the government of the late dictator Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos ended, when People Power revolution occured and where people all over the world admired the filipinos for putting up a peaceful revolution..
