Lets talk about them.

I miss Grammar school...that's the extent of my "80's" experience.

Nina Blackwood was on CNN talking about Mtv turning 25 and she brought up one of the things from the 80's I miss the most.


The world premiers of videos. They were specifically talking about the world premier of "Thriller" and how HUGE the whole deal was.

It was a lot of fun. I miss being excited about music videos.

I discovered Prince back then and it kind of obscured everything else

Yeah that was cool. MTV was just so much cooler back then though.

I miss Fine Young Cannibals.

I miss KIDS Incorporated.

I miss the gay commercials.

-I miss looking my TV Guide and seeing nothing but scripted television shows in Prime time. Before the death of the sitcom, it ruled prime time in the 80's.

-I miss "No Repeat Mondays" on MTV!

-I miss the option to not have to buy a whole album because singles were available.

-I miss men being able 2 wear rayon lime green and jelly bracelets and not have his sexual preference come in2 question.

-I miss wearing more than one watch 4 no apparent reason.

-I miss wishing street lights never came on cuz that meant I'd have 2 go back inside (I know some of y'all r feelin' that 1!)

I remember white guy driving a motorcycle and wearing heeled boots with a trenchcoat after Purple Rain.

Trenchcoats!

I had sun-in on the front of my hair.... yikes...

My mom wouldn't buy me sun in. I used to sneak the peroxide or lemon juice.

I miss Spuds Mckenzie and Max Headroom or whoever he was. Who was he???

the 80's called and they said they miss you too. They wanted to know how you were doing now, and if you still were able to do that thing. They didn't say what that thing was, but is sounded perverted.

MickG said:

Yeah. Tell the 80's I STILL can't get all the gum outta my hair.

I miss using mousse & hairspray together

on a related note, I miss using a hairdryer

I miss buttoning my shirt all the way up

I miss peg pants & rolling up the cuffs

I miss summer vacation

I miss the A Team, Cheers, Late Night with David Letterman, Larry Bud Melman, Joe Piscopo...

I miss tite rolling my jeans.

I miss watch the boys at football practice.
Cheering and making up the raunchies steps possible to make the boys miss a pass.
Swimming at the park and camping.
Sprints in the middle of the street to see who is faster.
Lemonheads, Apple Jolly Ranchers, honeybuns, Mr. Pibb with ice cream and huge ass pickles with seasoning salt. Ooh an saliditos with peaches.
Click-Clacks and throwing them at the kids we did not like who rode by on their bikes! Kung Fu theatre and click-clacks were deadly back then.
Dances at school and dance off's.
And of course, hanging out with my pop.

I miss power ballads. A LOT.

I miss break dancing, popping, Run DMC & Grandmaster Flash

i miss watching endless videos on mtv

Ohh, crazy raps songs about nothing in particular.

"I met a girl in a cotton field. She won't but her sister will, hmm mmm!
I met a girl in Alabama. I hit her in the head with a rotten banana, hmm, mmm!"

It was just funny to hear on the radio.

I miss all the trashy flea markets in the 80s (nowdays they're all freaking "outlet stores") where you could get all kinds of illegal fireworks, they had boxes filled with $5 porno tapes, knockoff colognes, and switchblades, and fake Transformers.

Us too.

I miss when Bobby Brown wasn't a crack head.

ShySlantedEye1 said:

Okay this was the 90's. But it made me think of it. I love this f'in song!

"Yo Dre man, I take this bitch out to the movies and shit man we're kissin'
and grindin' and shit, so we hop in the back seat, you know man, this bitch
rubbin' all over my dick and frontin' like she's gonna give me the pussy,
man, and the bitch said three words, man":
Stop, No and Don't

I said BIIIITTTTTCCHH

[Verse 1:]
You don't have to front on me dear,
So why don't you just give that pussy here?
If you'd be good to me,
Oh I'll be good to you,
and we'll both ride home in my automobile.

All that I want is a little puss
All that I want is just a little head
If you'd be good to me
Ohh I'll be good to you
and we'll both ride home in my automobile

[Verse 2:]
You don't have to front on me bitch,
Don't be afraid - it's only a dick
Give up the pussy soon,
All I want is a little womb,
or get your groopy ass out my hotel room
or get your groopy ass out my hotel room

All I want is the pussy
All I want is the pussy
All I want is the pussy
All I want is the pussy
If you'd be good to me,
oh I'll be good to you,
and we'll both ride home in my automobile
we'll both ride home in my automobile

Remember when you had to ring the bell at Kmart to get into the dressing room? My mom would get fed up waiting for the storeperson to come over so she would make me crawl under the door to open it from the inside.

Or how about when all the major department stores, JC Penneys, Kaufmanns, Sears, etc... all used to have sit down family restaurants in them.

When smoking used to be allowed in the Movie Theaters and in the Malls.

Buying cassettes and the retarded cashier would leave that stupid plastic security case on it, and you would have to take a hammer and a pair of pliers to it to get it off.
