The 80's

[Trip]

I am a child of the eighties... I was wondering if anyone else was too?

Here is a short vid of a couple of my buddies reenacting the better times!

This has nothing to do with R/C

I hope you enjoy!

LYRICS:
You kids think - your gear is iconic
But Im gon take you back to see some real electronics
gimme a beige PC, green text, black screen
and 64 kB of memory (thats plenty!)
forget a phone that fits in your pocket
I keep my phone in a bag in my car (thats how we rock it!)
who needs a camcorder, that size of my hand?!
you know I wanna look like a news cameraman!
(I wanna perch it on my shoulder...like an overweight parrot!)

my disks were floppy but my hair was stiff
and all my stickers were scratch and sniff!

In the 80s! If it was big it was good!
80s! My TV was wood!
80s! My car was shaped like box!
80s! Back when everything rocked!

youre tellin me mp3s oh theyre so great
Id rather push Rewind; and sit and wait!
my first VCR cost me five grand
VHS is best! (Im a Beta Man!)

16-button controllers really make me sick!
gimme one red button and a joystick!




In the 80s! the bigger the betta
80s! I had an antenna!
80s! my TV was thick
80s! we didnt point and click
80s! I had a big boom box
80s! I calculated with my watch
80s! My mix tapes were hot

Thats when bin men were proper blokes carrying the metal bins over their shoulder & the bin wagon would come round & take the washing out that was pegged across the back street You couldnt have a protest with a wheelie bin......the f*cker would melt
