Subject: Bowling For Soup - "1985 "

Written By: mrgazpacho on 09/10/04 at 9:40 am

I still can't decide if it's affectionately nostalgic or sneeringly dismissive  ??? The video came on TV a couple of minutes ago.

"Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
And music stil on MTV"

(edit: it seems to be a cover of a song by SR-71 - another pre-00s icon if there ever was one!)

It's both nostalgic & dismissive.  :) Which the song is about waxing nostalgia from the '80's, but may consider "uncool" today.


IMO, the video is a funny spoof/tribute of the '80's.  :D

difinitely affectionately nostalgic!  it was written for ME!  well, you know, even though i'm not on prozac, my husband's not a cpa, and i really don't think i have an average life.  but all those other things, yep, it's all about ME! ;)
