Blast from the Past

Have you heard the new song about the Eighties?
It's aimed directly at our generation, but was written
and performed by a young band called Bowling for Soup.
It's called "1985" and here are some of the lyrics:

She’s seen all the classics
she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
even Saint Elmo’s Fire
she rocked out to wham not a big Limp Biscuit fan
thought she’d get a hand on a member of Duran Duran
Where’s the mini-skirt made of snake skin
and who’s the other guy singing in Van Halen
when did reality become T.V.
what ever happened to sitcoms, game shows

(on the radio there was)
Springstein, Madonna way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she’s uncool
but she's still preoccupied with 19 - 19 - 1985

It's actually kind of a catchy song.
