The best Quotes about the 80s

Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie.

Becky Feder: "How long ago was the '80s?"

When Huey Lewis was the news
When we went flying with Tom Cruise
When shoulder pads and looking tough
Was the dirty David Hasselhoff
Too many men with heavy makeup on
Too many poodles with guitars
Thanks for all the joy you've given us
You will always be our superstars

Back to the 80's, back to Soap
Back to Rocky and Cherry Coke, yeah

Ah, come back
To Iron Maiden and 7Up

Back in the Ronald Reagan days
When we put satellites in space
When boys wore skinny leather ties
Like Don Johnson from Miami Vice
When Eminem was just a snack
And Michael Jackson's skin was black
Back when the coolest thing in store
Was a Commodore 64

The 80s must have been a great time: Get up, fixate whatever happened to your hair at night with hairspray - done.

She's seen all the classics, she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, even Saint Elmo's Fire
She rocked out to Wham, not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she'd get a hand on a member of Duran Duran

Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie, and music still on MTV

If you go back to the '80s, you had a whole plethora of artists, everyone from Madonna and Cyndi Lauper to Prince. God bless Lady Gaga for doing her thing, but she's kind of a lone peacock now. If anything, we have a much more conservative kind of pop world. It's not necessarily about individuality.

Lord, give me coffee to change the things I can and memories of the 80s to accept the things I can't.

The 80s were a time of magic and nostalgia. Music vibrated through the air and fashion was colorful and vibrant. We danced to the beats of Madonna and Michael Jackson, and the world seemed full of possibilities. The 80s are an era that should never be forgotten.

Michael Jackson Madonna

In the 80s, the hair was big, the shoulder pads were even bigger, and the music was simply mega! From aerobics to neon colors - the 80s were just the ultimate decade of eccentric style. Synthesizers were hotter than ever, and we all danced to "Wake me up before you go-go". Oh, how we love the 80s!

In the deep waters of the past, where the shadows of the 80s lie, shines the fluorescent age. People danced to electronic sounds and dressed in bright colors. Yet beneath the surface, political conflicts and social changes were hidden. An era of excess and uncertainty, captured in the annals of history.

The 80s were a wonderful time,
With neon colors and music, so fine.
Synthesizer sounds guiding our way,
From Duran Duran to Scorpions' display.

The hair was big and wild,
Shoulder pads, a fashionable child.
Breakdancing and hip-hop made their mark,
The style of the 80s was truly stark.

In the disco, we danced till the dawn,
With leggings, shoulder pads, and earrings on.
Madonna and Michael Jackson took the stage,
With their hits, they captured every heart's gauge.

The 80s were a time of pure fun,
Nothing could stop us, we were on the run.
The fashion, the music, the whole culture too,
The 80s were simply pure and true.

Michael Jackson Madonna

I was inspired by a lot of people when I was young. Every band that came through town, to the theater, or the dance hall. I was at every dance, every night club, listened to every band that came through, because in those days we didn't have MTV, we didn't have television.
