Children of the 70's and 80's AND 90s

[Me By Nature]

OK Ladies, I had to jump in here! I didn't hear anyone mention Dr. Scholl Shoes! I had a pair in just about every color they had!
Did anyone give themselves breakdancers names? I was Crazy K and my sister was Special K! What about playing house with someone famous as your husband. I was married to the Fonz (Happy Days), Ronnie Devoe, and just about anyone else who my sister didn't choose first!

[AKAtude]

Don't talk to me about Dr. Scholl's or Agner shoes. My sister use to throw those shoes at me! The heel of those things hurt!!!!!

[Serenity]

HELLO! Did I not just see a pair of those in my Spiegel catalog!?! It's getting so all these things will be back in style! Although I will have to draw the line at jheri curls....that's just me.

Remember...

We wear short, shorts (kick, kick)... We wear short, shorts, (kick, kick) If you can wear short, shorts... Nair for short shorts!

My sister and I would swear up and down we were one of those high step kickers!

AND

I can bring home the bacon...(ENJOLIE) fry it up in a pan...and never let you forget you're a man...CAUSE I'M A WOMAN...ENJOLIE(Sp)!

AKAtude,

I STILL have my Mickey Mouse Disco album!!!!!

[AKAtude]

"Macho, macho, duck...macho, macho..."

"Watch out, watch out for Goofy, watch out for Goofy..."

"Welcome, welcome to Rio, welcome, welcome to Rio..."

"Mouse trap, will snap, and grab you by the tail..."

Darn it. I can't think of anymore songs from that album!

[tickledpink]

Rooty Tooty --- I remember trying to "learn" the words to that commercial!!! **lol** And, speaking of big earrings, what about the Janet Jackson ("Control") phase --- Big hoops with the key on one side. I thought I was the bomb with my key earring and two-tones (AKAtude) ! And what about "The Jets" (remember the song You've Got It All Over Him) where all 50 members of the group were brothers and sisters? And then came ... Purple Rain (Poplife, have you mentioned Prince yet?) and Morris Day with "The Bird".

[Taykimson]

I don't know if it has been mentioned, but was I the only one that was in front of the TV every 2 hours on the hour to watch Michael Jackson's Thriller on MTV?
