So, today I heard this song (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=IIyv4drrgeo) on the way home from work and it sucked me back into the 80's, when my bathing suit had a skirt, my spandex pants were bunched up to my knees and my favorite beauty product was Aqua Net.

Post an 80's song you forgot existed...I need to jam while I scrap.

Oh gosh I used to love that song! What about Oh Mickey by Toni Basil??? Remember the video with the cheerleaders?

I'm such an 80s gal LOL. If you've got it, VH1 Classic is having their 80 Hours of 80s Music on right now, hosted by none other than Mark Goodman, one of the original MTV veejays.

For you yung'uns (dang I feel old thinking about this), there WAS a time when MTV actually played music videos 24/7...and so did VH1 when they first came on air.
