gemfyre94.5 played all these in a row. Before sticking on Can't Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie Minogue which pulled me out of the glorious 80's.
Hip To Be Square - Huey Lewis & The News
Video Killed The Radio Star - The Buggles
Kiss - Tom Jones
You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth - Meatloaf
..."1983?!" She said aloud, but softly. There was no-one in the house to hear her anyway. If it's 1983 then I am 3 years old. CD Players are REALLY expensive. Her lips turned up in a smirk, My Little Ponies get released in Australia this year... But toys weren't really the main thing playing on her mind as she scanned her room for any traces of distinctive ninetiesness. Her tank top had a Tommy Hilfiger logo on it. Who was he in the 80's? Not much of anyone really, especially not here in Australia. The perfume bottles on her dressing table were definetly non-eighties also. Tommy Girl and CK One. She pondered if she would open her wardrobe and be confronted with her usual attire. Or a riot of denimn and lycra and sparkles and flourescent colours. She looked over at the radio that had started it all. Yep, double cassette, CD player. She remembered she had got that in 1993. 10 years from what the date was meant to be but 10 years AFTER what the calendar confirmed.
Instead of find out she prefered to remain in the daydream. Images of Back To The Future and American Psycho in her head...

Date: 2003-04-22 01:34 am (UTC)I remember our last trip to Melbourne, which was probably mid 1984. And I remember well my 5th birthday which was October '84. After that memories are pretty vivid for me.
My year(s) for childhood music are '87 to '91.
I lived the early 80's vicariously through my older brother and sister (I spent many hours laying on my brother's bed with his big headphones on listening to his tape of Choose 1985). I repossessed that tape (and a bunch of others) and it's now a bit chewed. :(
