LOL at the Scorpions! I remember when I first moved to Germany back in 2004. My friends and I had driven to Mainz to eat at a Mexican restaurant (don't get me started on the craziness of a Mex restaurant in Germany!) when we were diverted from the way the Navigon told us to go. There was a big stage set up in the middle of the road, but the back of the stage was facing us. We were like, "What's going on?" One of the guys in our group said joklingly, "Hey, maybe it's the Scorpions." [insert air guitar here] We laughed about it, and went to eat. When we finished, we decided to walk to the stage to see what was going on. Lo and behold, it WAS the Scorpions. A free concert!

I also remember the McKids clothing line that mcdonalds created in partnership with sears in the 80's.

Who had a pair of high-top atheltic shoes? Or the converse "cheerleading" shoes where you could change the colors in it? Who owned a crimping iron for their hair?

Oh and The Ghostbusters!!!

I wore high-tops! Didn't need a crimping iron -- too much natural crimp.
