Let's relive the 1980's

Let's relive the 1980's

Hiya everyone!!!!

I loved the 80's and I thought I would start a forum where we can relive our favourite songs. bands, TV shows, movies, fashions, celebrities, world events etc. If I had a time machine I would go back and experience it all, because as they say at the time you don't realise how special it is until it is over.

So if you grew up in the 80's tell us your experiences, what you loved and remembered etc. If you missed the 80's that is fine. we can tell you what it was like, how things were done etc. So please come and join me and reflect on this great decade......

I am going to start off by showing you one of my fav songs from one of my two fav bands (The Beatles being the other one). Still love this song as much as when I first heard it..... written by drummer Roger Taylor inspired by words from his young son.....Radio Ga Ga

Which indecently inspired the name of a current pop star...................

Re: Let's relive the 1980's

Thanks so much for uploading that Skona ad @plasmo wow that brought back memories......man I loved those.......actually I think I was addicted to them..............I was actually salivating when I was watching that................I still look for them now but I have not seen one for a long, long time sadly.

My father would get us take away whenever he could not be bothered cooking, which was more often than not, as my mum worked nights. He would say to us, do you want Kentucky Duck for tea that is what he called Kentucky Fried Chicken. We would say yeah......love those memories.............then we would have to hide the empty containers from mum so she wouldn't find out that we did not have a healthy meal lol. But I think deep down she knew but she never mentioned it........................

I loved having fish n chips as well......remember when it was wrapped up in actual newspaper until they realised that was bad for you........................

Re: Let's relive the 1980's

You had the best clothes to wear @Scarecrowe 😁👍 So fun!

@BunniekinsB-52's were a strong memory of mine! Music was a big part of my childhood and this used to get played when parents were in a good mood, a lot

I still listen to it sometimes, for that feeling it gives 🙂

I looooved Bubble O'Bills @Scarecrowe! Always a dilemma choosing between that and Golden Gaytime 😁😉

@CheerBear loved the B52's in my early teens. OMG! remember Count Down on the ABC (that was late 70's early 80's for me) I would watch it every weekend without fail and wait to see what got to number 1!:D

Re: Let's relive the 1980's

I don't remember Count Down but I do remember Video Hits on the weekends @Bunniekins which I seriously enjoyed! I am old enough to have had a cassette player and used to use it to record music from count downs on the radio. Putting the little piece of sticky tape over a tape so it would record, trying to fast forward or rewind to the start of a song to listen to it... My kids have no idea how easy playing music is for them, to be able to just push 'next' and all that 😆
