Y'all, this thread is the funniest thing I have ever read in my WHOLE life.
I have been CRYING reading it - what were we THINKING?
I can't believe nobody mentioned:
Debbie Gibson, Chuck Taylor Converse, Coca-Cola shirts, Ghostbusters, leather ties, pegging the cuffs of your jeans by pinching them and folding them before you roll them, stretchy lace headbands (or socks), Rainbow Brite, Friday Night Videos, switching the heads on Barbie and Ken...
I knew every word to "All Cried Out" by Lisa Lisa. Then again, I am so old that when they play "White Lines" on the "retro hour" on the radio, I know all the words.
Don't get sick... but have y'all heard that re-make of "Boys in the Hood"? One day at work, the original came on the radio, and I was singing the whole thing, even the @#$% parts, and my employees (all still in college) thought I was insane. They said "we didn't know this was a cover". They had never heard of NWA.
Personally, I want big hair to come back - it makes my waist look smaller. ;-)
