    Totally crushing on the Tears for Fears reference. I will be humming that song for the next 48 hours. Enjoy the day!

    I was two years old in 1985. And I still got the reference. I must have been a seriously advanced baby.

    It took me a while, I'm that old. I loved Tears for Fears, though. I used to love Gary Coleman too when he was a cute kid. Kimberly, though, talk about annoying!

    Wow! It's been a while since I've heard this song. 1985 - a good year.
    Gary Coleman...RIP

    I think I was too busy getting married--I missed this show and the song so I am lost on this graph. Dang...I hate it when that happens.......

    I think the 80's were stranger than the 60's, mostly because of the clothes, the music, the hair, hippies became yuppies - did I mention the clothes??

    Speaking of ruling the world and the late 80's...I gave my church kids the line of a song to make actions for. The line was "Be true, be true & stand for the right!" The end of their "actions" resulted in the heil Hitler sign the Nazi's used. This totally made me giggle in the middle of church!!! Reading your graph and thinking of the Berlin wall coming down in 1989 brought the giggle right back.

    I was 15 in '85. LOVED that Tears for Fears song (and even saw them in concert that year!!!) ;o)

    Watched Different Strokes too. I still want to adopt kids because of it!

    You are so funny! You just made a whole slew of songs enter my mind and I thank you. I don't thank you for writing a post that would make me use the word "slew" in the comments, however.

    Yes, as I recall that was about right.
