Hit Me
Once again - it will be said. I am a huge fan of the 80's.
Loved the fashion - the hair - the makeup and music.
So- I come across a semi-talent show the other night called "Hit Me..." and its comprised of 80's acts. They sing their one big hit and then sing a current song on the radio - with their own twist. The audience votes and the winners give their $25,000 winnings to the charity of their choice.
I made J come and sit with me while I waited for The Motels to come on. I loved her - she was a sexy brunette - with a smoky voice. I loved trying to imitate her - she was a rocking chick - with great hair.
"8-6-7-5-3-0-9 - Jenny I got your number...." blared while I waited. I felt a little old watching Tommy sing his smash hit when he looked so old too.
Then she came on..... "Only the lonely............" She looked old - old - old.
So - You know what that makes me? Old!
It made me feel terribly old - all while sitting there reliving my youth.
Sad thing is that these past performers are hoping for another shot. Opportunity to be the next Britiney?
Guys - look in the mirror - You are old.
Flock of Seagulls - I LOVED THEIR HAIR! - They are bald and...fat!
Cameo is going to be on next week. I am sure they are going to be singing "Word Up"
I am remembering the flashbacks of watching that new MTV station and this black man with a very large red plastic jock and black leotard was singing...."Baby- what's the word...Word Up!"
What are the odds - that I am going to see that again?
If so - HIT ME!
