Apparently we’re not the only ones who miss 1985...

That funky pop band from Texas, Bowling for Soup, has commemorated our year of graduation with a song and video for their new album. Hilarious! Check it out...

Lyrics

Debbie just hit the wall
she never had it all
one Prozac a day
husband’s a CPA
her dreams went out the door
when she turned twenty-four
only been with one man
what happened to her plan

she was gonna be an actress
she was gonna be a star
she was gonna shake her ass
on the hood of Whitesnake’s car
her yellow SUV is now the enemy
looks at her average life
and nothing has been alright
since

Springsteen, 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
’cause she’s still preoccupied
with 19, 19, 1985

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 Bizkit 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 TV
what ever happened to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio was)

Springsteen, 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
’cause she’s still preoccupied
with 19, 19, 1985

she hates time, make it stop
when did Motley Crew become classic rock
and when did Ozzy become an actor
please make this stop, stop, stop
and bring back

Springsteen, 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
’cause she’s still preoccupied
with 19, 19, 1985
