To die for, like I ask them to do something and like it's like already done. Like totally awesome!! I'm like, oh my gaaaaaa!

This is fun! I find it hard tho, I want to mix up the new language with the old. For example, "Like it's totally awesome, like it's DA BOMB!" We didn't say, 'da bomb' then, did we??

Bitchin, tubular, bodacious, mondo, radical!

This is cute....

The 80's New Church of the Bodacious Baby Jesus

1:1 In the beginning the radical God created the gnarly heavens and the bodacious earth.

1:2 Now the earth was unmondo and rank, darkness was over the surface of the unradical deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

1:3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was super-tubular light.

1:4 God saw that the light was really bodacious. It was like, mondoness and gnarliness mixed in a can with a label. And God separated the awesome light from the unrad darkness.

1:5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called, "the time humans will mate." And there was evening, and there was morning--the first radical day.

1:6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate tubular water from untubular water."

1:7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so..... raaaadical.

1:8 God called the expanse the bodacious "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning--the second day.

1:9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry - yet gnarly - ground appear." And it was so...... tuuuuubular.

1:10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was far out, man. I mean, it was like tubular. Sooooo bodacious.

1. Okay, like the first thingamajig you need to do is, like, find the address of the gnarly site you want translated.

2. Now go to the totally radical site: www.80s.com/Entertainment/ValleyURL/

3. Like in the empty box at the top of the page, type in your totally fav
site to be totally converted...

4. Now all you have to do is like just totally veg and wait for the stuff to happen. Then just read it...COOl? I'm cool. This is bitchin'.

I like, totally suggest that we rush out to Blockbuster and rent "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" tonight!

We can discuss, like how totally unbodacious Keanu Reeves looked. Truthfully, I've had a hard time taking him serious since then.

Can't - first of all, have a hard time watching that movie, thinking we could have been watching the birth of a comic genius along the lines of, say, Skippy Handelman, then remembering snoozing through watching him in The Devil's Advocate. Also, I'll be busy watching Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo doing Stevie Wonder and Frank Sinatra singing Ebony and Ivory - sing along if you know the words...

Stevie: I am black and you are white...
Frank: You are blind as a bat and I have sight...

Why you all comin' down on me, tryin' to tell me how my life is supposed to be? I know you're only tryin' to help me out, tryin' to show me what life is really about. But this time I'm gonna make it on my own, so why don't you fellas just leave me alone? Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike, if I love the girl who cares who you like?

Mware - you got to cool it n-ow! (New Edition?)

This thread has been so much fun...I couldn't resist the urge to dust off my 'Best of the 80's' CD last evening and have a listen while on the treadmill. Anyone remember these gems?

'Sweet Dreams' - Eurythmics (Annie L. - still the Queen of cool.)

'Hungry like the Wolf' - Duran Duran (Simon LeBon - hottie with fantastic big hair!)

'Everybody Have Fun Tonight' - Wang Chung (I would have preferred 'Dance Hall Days'.)

'Karma Chameleon' - Culture Club (Boy George THE poster boy for the 80's.)

'Video Killed the Radio Star' - The Buggles (Ah yes - MTV is born!)

'C'mon Eileen' - Dexie's Midnight Runners (Arguably the most memorable one-hit-wonder of them all!)

'Everybody Wants to Rule the World' - Tears for Fears (Shout, Shout, let it all out.)

I had a great time - but - the CD left me hankerin' for;

-Anything Peter Gabriel
-Alittle Joe Jackson (Steppin' out - loved it!)
-Classic 80's Police (I sold my soul to the devil for Synchronicity Tour tickets.)
-Early U2 & REM
-Anyone remember that great UB40 song "Red, Red, Wine"?

I could go on all day!!

Shakes -

A bright yellow smiley face if you know who wrote that song, Red, Red, Wine. (once I figure out how to put it up, that is.)

Upside down, you're turning me, you're giving love instinctively. Round and round you're turning me...

Well, I can feel it coming in the air tonight, O Lord. Well, I been waiting for this moment, for all my life, O Lord, O Lord...

You spin me right round, baby, right round, like a record, baby, right round round round...

It's just the foolish beat of my heart... I could never love again, the way I loved you... And when we said goodbye, oh, the look in your eye, left me beside myself with out your love...

In an east end town in a west end world, east end boys and west end girls...Sometimes, you're better off dead. There's a gun in your hand and it's pointed at your head. You think you're mad, too unstable, kicking in chairs and knocking down tables...

Hey, bud, that suit is you... You're gonna get some leg tonight for sure. Oh, come on guys, give me a break. One break, comin' up!

I think I will go on all day!

Shakes

Mware - you have thrown down the 80's music gauntlet and I am prepared to duel!

I want the yellow smiley face BAD - but - I'm goin' way out on a limb here - could it be - is it - please let it be...Prince???

Classic Diana (Miss Ross if you're nasty) - I think the name of the song is 'Inside Out'.

Cake...Phil Collins...'In The Air Tonight'.

OK...song title 'Right Round'. Can't think of the weird guy's name who sang it - dang it! Tall skinny guy, crazy, black, Flock of Seagulls-ish hair - sang another song 'Brand New Lover'.

Ya' got me on this one - is there any chance it's Don Johnson's attempt at a singing career?

HA,HA...one of my favorites...Pet Shop Boys, 'West End Girls'.

I think you made up the last one about 'One break comin' up'...I have NO idea.

Here's one for you:

"...this love we share seems to go nowhere, you love me, though you hurt me so, I'm gonna' pack my things and go..."

Bring it!!

Red, Red Wine was one of the creative song stylings of the one, and only, Neil Diamond!!! Didn't believe it myself until I saw him in concert and he told us the story.

You got the Diana Ross one, but it was called "Upside Down."

Phil Collins was a gimme so you didn't lose interest.

I'm not positive on the "Right Round" one, but I think it was Dead or Alive who sang it.

Thirty lashes with a fluorescent green headband for not catching the Debbie Gibson song.

The last one was from VanHalen's "Change" and sounds way cooler when they say it the way they do.

I would be expelled from this thread forever by Whowhere if I didn't recognize one of the biggest hits by the Hall of Fame left fielder from my favorite baseball team, the Boston Red Sox, number 8, Hall of Famer, Carl "Yaz" Yastrzemski! (from Upstairs at Eric's)

Remember to Wake me Up Before you Go-Go. Don't leave me hanging on like a yo-yo.

"You Klingon b*stard, you've killed my son." was a movie line from the 80s classic Star Trek III, the Search for Spock. The actor who played the son of the character who spoke this line also starred in a classic 80s TV series, and was a very memorable character in his own right (at least to me.) For the undying respect and admiration of all who grace this thread with their presence, what series, what actor (real name), and what character - full last name, please.

Take that!

What great memories that movie brought back! My best friend in college actually looked and acted like Julia's fiancee! Only problem is, I can't watch scenes with Julia's trampy cousin in them without yelling at the screen,"Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!"

Mware - the battle rages on!

I do believe, however, that you've crashed and burned on the lyric I provided for you...I saw no mention what-so-ever of the classic "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell.

Kudos - Dead or Alive.

I'm ashamed of myself for missing Van Halen.

I'm ashamed of you for including Debbie Gibson in the mix.

You lost me totally on the Red Sox/Carl "Yaz" thing, but that's understandable because I am a die-hard YANKEE FAN! We can still be friends though because, I'm an old softie, and always heave a big sigh for you guys when it all goes DOWN THE TOILET every season (Shakes has a devilish sports rivalry grin on right now).

I know nothing STAR TREK - I'll take a shot - all I got is Ricardo Montalban as Mr. Roark on Fantasy Island - but I doubt he played anybody's son in a movie.

Now I'll throw you a gimme - what 80's movie featured the tag line "It's time for the odd to get even." on its poster?

(Don't be mad about the Red Sox thing, OK...we're having too much fun right now...)

Frankie says Relax!

OK, the "I'm gonna pack my things and go" thing threw me way off. That's also a line in the 80s song "Move Out" by the group Yaz, from their album "Upstairs at Eric's." I should have known better on that one - "Once I ran from you, now I run to you. This tainted love you've given, I give you all a boy could give you. Take my tears and that's not merely All, tainted love, whoaoaoa, tainted love. Now I know I've got to run away, I've got to get away. You don't really want any more from me, the love we share...

I'm with you on that one now. Yaz was Carl Yastrzemski's nickname, and when I thought in my 80s induced stupor that it was the Yaz song, I couldn't resist the temptation to air out the old Fenway faithfulness.

The answer to the Star Trek thingie - William Shatner as Captain Kirk said the quote, about his son David Marcus was impaled by the blade of a Klingon warrior, and Christopher Lloyd (Taxi's Reverend Jim, and Back to the Future's Doc Brown) as the Klingon commander Kruge told Kirk what had happened.

The actor's name was Merrit Butrick, who starred as valley boy Johnny "Slash" Ulasziewicz on the 80s classic, but short lived TV series "Square Pegs." (I'd like it if they'd like us, but I don't think they like us.)

Your movie poster came from what I believe to have been the second movie I can remember Anthony Edwards (ER's Dr. Green) making, the marching anthem against the dreaded Alpha Betas, led by Married With Children's "Jefferson", Ted McGinley, fresh off his Love Boat season as Ace the photographer. Yes, we're talking about Revenge of the Nerds!!!

Debbie Gibson was a mistake - sorry. I also won't include Milli Vanilli in the interest of preserving our "sanity."

Didn't the 80's give us Underoos and Cabbage Patch dolls? I witnessed all the moms duking it out over store displays of cabbage patch dolls, and was so glad my only child at that time was a boy. We just nonchalantly wandered over to the Legos.
80's music - I loved the CARS!

(Shakes smacks forehead) YAZ, of course, the incredible Allison Moyet(Moiet?)!

You rocked my "NERDS" question - Ace the Photographer - do people beg to get you on their Trivial Pursuit Team? You are good!

A friend, who is enjoying the 80's banter as much as I, threw in this movie trivia and I thought it was pretty good:

The scariest movie of the 80's featured a young actor who found serious fame (and face time!) on a memorable 80's cop show and then parlayed his TV fame back into major feature film roles working with the likes of; Leonardo DiCaprio, Diane Weist, Wynona Ryder, Christina Ricci and Robert DeNiro. Name the actor, the scary movie and the cop show?

Thanks for the Milli Vanilli edit - you are a Fine Young Cannibal in my book.

Grooch - isn't it fun?

Nice work on the Johnny Depp question...21 Jump Street is exactly right. Do you remember Nightmare on Elm Street? Scariest thing in it --when Nancy is on the phone and the mouthpiece turns into a tongue and Freddie says, "I'm your boyfriend now, Nancy (insert scary laugh)". Ewwwww!

Mware started this thread yesterday and I just can't get enough!
