  • Who else misses the 80's? This is one of those songs that puts me in the nostalgic mood. This tribute video has a variety of clips from 80's TV and movies, and goes beyond the typical teenager and John Hughes movies that usually dominate these type of videos.
    What other songs take you back?

      I kind of wish Facebook would have come along a bit earlier though. It turned out to be a great way to connect with old classmates and friends we had lost touch with. I could do without the "discourse", the influencers, and all that, but the original functions of Facebook I thought were great. I mean who didn't look up their old crushes on Facebook???

    The 80's were a special time for me. It was a great time to be a teenager, and young adult. Fond memories of me, my mom and dad and my brother and sister all together as a family. And most of all, my best friend David, he and I did all kinds of crazy things together, and made plans for the future that never came to fruition. Now my dad is gone, and David is gone, and I think about them and those times often. Yep, the best decade ever.....

      You're a Boomer. My dad was born in 1944 making him Silent Generation (those born 1928-1945). They were the hippies, not Boomers. Well, maybe some older Boomers like you.
      Puberty starts at age 9 or 10. Being "a kid" is defined by pre-adolescence. If you were born in 1947 then you definitely "grew up" in the 1950s. The early 1960s would have been the beginning of your young adulthood

    The great thing about modern technology is we can revisit the audio/video memories of the 80s just by typing into the search box at CZcams. But I would give anything to be able to go back to an 1980s mall, full of people, full of stores, the sound of the fountains, the smell of Drakkar Noir filling the air when you walked into the anchor department store. There's quite a sad feeling you get when you go to your 80s mall in the 2020s and realize---if it's even still there----that you can never go back to what it was like way back when.
