I remember when
We had REAL Grandmothers, they were old and mean
Unbutton my fly T shirts and 501 Jeans
Girls wore leg warmers cuz flashdance hit
Jennifer Beals was BAD and she STILL is the shit
When that water came down?
Anyway,
I use to watch
Videos and in Grade school I had a Flav clock
There was no hating you were “on somebody’s jock”
Cept for RUN DMC MTV only played rock
I wanted a Calculator watch or the all black swatch
Saturday Morning’s watched Schoolhouse rock
The Bill was on Capitol Hill
Atari was ill
Played Frogger and Q*Bert all day
Never sat still
Electric football came with just 2 teams
Captain Kangaroo had Mr. Green Jeans
Use to rock the Hammer Pants and multi color Skidz
Me and the fellas collected Garbage Pail Kids
Tongue tied Tim and
Rappin Ron then
Leaky Lindsay
and Adam Bomb
When
Voltron came on I thought it was the illest
Charlene lookin sexy as hell Kissin Willis
Use to watch Casper the friendly ghost
Crunched Cinnamon Toast
Oatmeal by Quaker Oats
Wore Moccasin boats
Made Root beer floats
High school had the black Triple Fat Goose coat
Zap it, Entertech, and Zebra guns
Capri Suns
On my recorder played Hot Crossed Buns
Sounded like 3 blind mice
Use to roll and shoot dice
Thriller came out with Mike and Vincent Price
Girls watched Rainbow Brite
Ate Mike n Ikes
Auto Man…Max headroom… Miami Vice
Fat Oprah hit the TV from the Chi
A different world, who didn’t want Jasmine Guy?
NBC, mannnn those shows were the best
It was 227, Golden Girls, Empty Nest
Lamar with the Bandanna pledged Tri-Lambda
On Diff’rent Strokes Stan from Martin played Santa
Adele, and Nell Carter Gimme a Break
Theo And Cockroach’s teacher Mrs. Westlake
…called her Dragon Lady
Damn those were the 80’s
Shits crazy now…I feel bad for the babies.
