What happened in 1989?

Was Not Was!

[BarTopDancer]

Every time I read this thread this song goes through my head.

19Somethin
Mark Wills

I saw Star Wars at least 8 times
Had the pac-man pattern memorized
And I've seen the stuff they put inside
Stretch Armstrong

I was Roger Stauback back in my back yard
Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evil Kinevil scars
On my right arm
Well, I was a kid when Elvis died
And my mama cried

Chorus:
It was 1970- something
In the world that I grew up in
Farrah Faucett hair-do days
Bell bottoms and 8-track tapes
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh, man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1970-something

It was the dawning of a new decade
When we got our first microwave
And Dad broke down and finally shaved
Those sideburns off
I took the stickers off of my Rubix cube
Watched MTV all afternoon
My first love was Daisy Duke
In them cut off jeans
A Space Shuttle fell out of the sky
And the whole world cried

Chorus:
It was 1980-something
In the world that I grew up in
Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams
Big hair and parachute pants
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh, man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1980-something

Now I got a mortgage and an SUV
But all this responsibility
Makes me wish sometimes
Sometimes....

chorus:
It was 1980-something
In the world that I grew up in
Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams
Big hair and parachute pants
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh, man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1980-something

1970-something
Aw, it was 19-Something

Aw, I love the terms of yore that we no longer use! I catch myself on one all of the time- whenever I refer to Rancho del Zocalo at Disneyland, I always call it Casa de Fritos. For whatever reason, I seem to have a bad case of the yesterlands. Maybe I have a hidden, sexy desire for the Frito Bandito and I've just never addressed my longings.

Except the hair & the fashions.

Lord, we thank Thee for peroxide & bleach. If I still had a tower of fried brunette curls with aqua-netted burrito bangs partially wrapped up in an over-teased purple scrunchy complete with dangling gold charms, I'd call it a day. I'd be the first person to strangle one's self with a scrunchy.

My High School Senior picture!! It's so dated! My Mom has it framed & displayed at her house! Of all the pictures I've ever taken, that fug one was chosen for the world to see. Picture this hip vision: Huge, poofy, blown-out brunette 'do, teased n' spiky overspritzed bangs & a pink scrunchy pulling up part of my hair in a sky-high ponytail to match my pink sweater with little gold heart buttons. All topped off with coordinating hot pink lipstick. Hahahaha!! And the BEST part? The girls got to take a secondary, Glamour-Shot photo not intended for the yearbook where we changed into a feathered boa type wrap. I chose the pink maribou feathers, of course.

Talk about tacky. I found that photo not too long ago. Pink maribou feathers, bare shoulders, the pink scrunchied disaster 'do & my gold heart necklace. It looked like a nerd tripped in some chicken feathers and the result was captured on camera.
