[Verse]
Cruising the strip with the windows down and no particular place to go
My sunglasses on and Pour Some Sugar on Me blasting from the stereo
It’s a typical Saturday night in a small town and there’s not a lot to do
So you try and chase down an aqua net babe and take her cruisin’ too
[Verse]
A scrunchie in her hair with neon jellies and a swatch watch on her wrist
They flirt with the boys like we have a chance they might put us on their list
Blue eyeliner with leather and lace and dressing up like they’re Madonna
They blow off the boys that try too hard even though they really don’t wanna’
[Chorus]
Living life in the 80’s was such a blast
But the time went by way too fast
Hanging at the mall was the place to be
Laughing with your friends and living free
Living life in the 80’s was totally rad
Dressing like Crockett or the latest fad
The music was great and the movies were too
Even the TV was tubular but the channels were few
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Neon colors, arcades, Rubiks Cubes and shoulder pads
Leg warmers, Sony Walkman, valley girls were totally rad
Big hair, slap bracelets, rat tails and value meals super sized
M TV, cabbage patch, Boom boxes and moms at aerobisize
[Verse]
Dirty Dancing at the sleepover, her friends drooling over Patrick Swayze
She thinks he’s ok but she likes Rob Lowe and everyone tells her that she’s crazy
She’s hanging posters on her wall of George Michael, Prince and Duran Duran
She’s writing a letter to Johnny Depp to tell him she’s his biggest fan
[Chorus]
Living life in the 80’s was such a blast
But the time went by way too fast
Hanging at the mall was the place to be
Laughing with your friends and living free
Living life in the 80’s was totally rad
Dressing like Crockett or the latest fad
The music was great and the movies were too
Even the TV was tubular but the channels were few
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Charlie Sheen and Christian Slater
Cindy Crawford, Brooke Shields, Phoebe Cates and Jody Foster
Breakfast club, ghostbusters, Dead Poets and Top Gun
Cheers, Dallas, A team, Family Ties and the Simp sons
[Verse]
Sitting by the radio for hours and just hoping to record my favorite song
Wishing the DJ would just shut up because his talking makes it sound wrong
Gotta make an awesome mix tape for the date with my girl next Friday night
Hopefully the night will end with a kiss if the music hits her just right
[Chorus]
Living life in the 80’s was such a blast
But the time went by way too fast
Hanging at the mall was the place to be
Laughing with your friends and living free
Living life in the 80’s was totally rad
Dressing like Crockett or the latest fad
The music was great and the movies were too
Even the TV was tubular but the channels were few
[Final Chorus]
Living life in the 80’s was such a blast
But the time went by way too fast
