Back to the 80s....music that is!

Ah, the 80s - the music, the fashion, the assymmetrical haircuts (yes, I had one!) - it all came back to me last night when I was relaxing in my Dad's man cave watching the latest episode of The Bachelor (yes, I am afraid I am STILL hooked on the show). 

During one of the commercial breaks, I came across my 14 year old sister's latest list of songs to download from iTunes:

1. "We don't have to take our clothes off" - Jermaine Stewart
2. "Puttin On the Ritz" - Taco
3. "Take On Me" - A-Ha
4. "Der  Kommissar" - After The Fire
5. "Keep Your Hands To Yourself " - Georgia Satellite
6. "Catch Me I'm Falling" - Pretty Poison

I couldn't believe it.  She is hooked on the 80s - My music.  And dare I say it, i danced to a lot of the songs on her list when I was - dare I say it - HER AGE!  I have to thank VH1 for their Best of the 80s marathons.  It cracks me up everytime my sister looks at me and says, "Hey Lis, have you heard of this song? this band"  And I just smile and say, "honey, I lived it!"  and then I teach her the wop, running man or roger rabbit which she then presents at dinner time to the delight and rousing laughter of my parents.  Hey, at least she has rhythm and also, I must say, great taste in music!
