If you have been reading this blog for a while, you have probably caught-on that I am a child of the ’70s and a teenager of the ’80s and a wandering, waitress soul of the ’90s…and I mercilessly drag you through every Love’s-Baby-Soft, day-glo, did-you-see-Friends-last-night minute of it…see here…and here…rats! and here for clarification.
My friend Pete, who HAS been reading me since the began (thanks Pete), sent me this from Wil Wheaton’s Blog. Wil is equally and appropriately distracted by his childhood/teenage/wandering days.
Here is the literal version of the song, “Take me on,” by A-Ha.
Look at that, I wrote about the “Take Me On” couple briefly here. Okay, that was the last time I am going to link to myself.
Is it sad that I have a bottle of Love’s Baby Soft in my drawer as we speak because it reminds me back in the day? (That’s a rhetorical, I know it is) I’m an 80’s baby through and through though
The video is funny. I remember that one well. I also love anything 70’s or 80’s…
Love the links…you are too funny. that Dress you wore for the Ernst and Young award….Freakin’ Smashing!!!!! You should wear it everyday. I would.
I loved this video. I even owned the record.
I loved this song in high school, I’m a 1968 baby and the 80’s music was something special. My girlfriend was really into the music of the day. I was more drawn to the older music of the Who and Doors and anything like Jethro Tull but the 80’s music certainly markets that period in time distinctly.
One of the best pop songs and videos from 80´s. Why it had to be mutilated? Hah, that was funny!
