In The 80's
 

Okay... WARNING... for those who might be too spiritual to see this... just walk away.

No cursing.
No scantily clad women.

Just a hilarious spoof song on the 80's. (Lyrics Below)

LYRICS:
You kids think - your gear is iconic
But Im gon take you back to see some real electronics
gimme a beige PC, green text, black screen
and 64 kB of memory (thats plenty!)
forget a phone that fits in your pocket
I keep my phone in a bag in my car (thats how we rock it!)
who needs a camcorder, that size of my hand?!
you know I wanna look like a news cameraman!
(I wanna perch it on my shoulder...like an overweight parrot!)

my disks were floppy but my hair was stiff
and all my stickers were scratch and sniff!

In the 80s! If it was big it was good!
80s! My TV was wood!
80s! My car was shaped like box!
80s! Back when everything rocked!

youre tellin me mp3s oh theyre so great
Id rather push Rewind; and sit and wait!
my first VCR cost me five grand
VHS is best! (Im a Beta Man!)

16-button controllers really make me sick!
gimme one red button and a joystick!

In the 80s! the bigger the betta
80s! I had an antenna!
80s! my TV was thick
80s! we didnt point and click
80s! I had a big boom box
80s! I calculated with my watch
80s! My mix tapes were hot
80s! Back when everything rocked!

They guy putting the mouse in his mouth... funny. Spoofing on the rockers that would bite the heads off of mice etc. So funny.

Thats so funny! I recognize all that stuff. (I assume they probably came up w/ the Dilorian from back to the future). As a young teenager, I even had a poster of Cinderella on my wall, that looked like those weirdos!:banghead

I know it was a little pre -80s like around 77 but I remember the punk and new wave craze like The B-52s and The Clash and such they were in the 80s as well.

I remember paying almost a full month of US Navy E-4 pay for a VHS player in 1983, was around $800.00. I paid more for my sony walkman than I did for my iPhone.

Below is my very first computer:

With the dock-printer, cassette interface and 8k ram upgrade it ran around $500.00

The B-52's are still around and playing in Rhode Island tomorrow. Funny, they look almost the same, maybe they are aliens....
