BERNIE SANDERS MITTENS WITH 80s BANDS

80s Band photos with Bernie Sander's Mittens

This is funny, funny, Bernie Sander's Mitten memes. I think the pic of Bernie is so funny b/c he looked like a grumpy old grampa. Imagine if he were in the background of some 80s pictures. With our favourite bands like Van Halen, Duran Duran, Motley Crue...

CORONA VIRUS 80S MEMES

MEMES ABOUT THE CORONA VIRUS

This COVID 19 CORONA virus has taken the world by the...I won't say. It was like the threat of nuclear attack in the 80s. 

Well let's make fun of the situation by bringing in some 80s music references.

The Cure, an obvious choice when dealing with a world wide pandemic.
I love this one. I'm no expert on COVID-19, but this is The Cure. Funny on so many levels.

Covid-19 Cure

I saw this meme and couldn't pass it up. Corona virus is scary, but The Cure ain't looking too good either. Ouch!

The Cure is looking scary like COVID 19

Then there is Dexy's Midnight Runners song "Come on Eileen" ...and it sounds like "Covid nineteen"
No joke, it really does get stuck in your head.

Come on Eileen sounds like Covid 19

And, you really can't get over the name of this virus, Corona Virus. Whoever found this virus first must have been drinking some beers. Am I right?

In the 80s Corona Virus was called a Hangover

FUNNY 80s MEMES

1980s MUSIC MEMES VERY FUNNY

The 80s, a time when technology was simple and BIG (like the hair). Now everything can be done on a smart phone. Those poor old electronics are now obsolete, useless, outdated...I bet they do have a grudge against modern 'phones'.

80s technology vs the smart phone

At least the music of the 80s and the icons of the 1980s are still going strong in pop culture. Like the latest documentaries on Freddie Mercury and Elton John.

Another One Bites The Dust, literally

Remember Billy Idol made a cameo in The Wedding Singer...oh, I guess that was like twenty years ago, but to me it seems recent. Oh great, another feeling old moment. What I do remember about Billy Idol is singing his songs wrong. Mony Mony I used to sing as Pony Pony and I'd ride my imaginary pony around the room!

Billy Idol misheard lyric - Mony Mony or Pony Pony

Now I'm just an old guy listening to Classic Rock on the radio, playing my air guitar when Def Leppard comes on.

Def Leppard rocks the leg guitar

 No Young Turk anymore Rod.

Rod Stewart aint no young turk anymore

I'm more concerned with the numbers on my odometer than phone numbers scratched onto walls saying call Jenny for a good time - 867-5309.

Jenny 867-5309 Funny

My fashion sense is not as bold as it used to be. In the 80s I was dressed to thrill, whip it, or moonwalk. I can still whip it good, but it's more along the lines of making whipped cream from scratch!

Whip It, Whip It Good

80S MUSIC MEMES

Billy Idol was such a rebel in the 80s, hence the Rebel Yell, that he sang about Dancing With Myself. Poor guy, dancing all alone. Well guess what? Turns out he found a girl to dance with and now he doesn't dance with himself anymore. Hooray!

Billy Idol finds girl and does not dance with himself

Fast forward thirty years and another big music star does some dancing with himself and makes some waves. Drake. Canadian rapper Drake does some weird solo dancing in the bling bling cellphone video which everyone seems to make fun of? You know what would be even funnier, if the song was from the 80s and he wanted someone to call him on their cell phone - the big brick cell phone! So big you wouldn't be able to make many smooth dance moves!

Call me on your cell phone 80s style

Speaking of calling someone, Daniel Larusso says you'd better call Kenny Loggins because you are in the danger zone. The crane kick danger zone!

Call Kenny Loggins because you are in the danger zone

Mobile phones turn out to be bad for your social health, just ask Madonna who uses her phone to take selfies. I can see why she sang Like A Virgin...

Madonna - like a virgin

It is convenient to have a great camera with you at all times. Beats the 80s when you'd have to carry around a Kodak or Nikon, snaps some pictures, get the negatives processed, and pick up one copy of the picture. So if you are out walking around and see something like a sign for Electric Avenue ...

Rock down to Electric Ave. and then take it higher

It is good to get out, away from technology, take a walk. Maybe as Cyndi Lauper suggested go Walking on Sunshine. You'll feel great!

Shrute sets Cyndi Lauper straight - you cannot walk on sunshine

Nowadays, technology is just too complex for me. I used to be a pretty good hacker. I'd set up my Teddy Ruxpin to play Rick Astley and feel good b/c Teddy was never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna turn around and desert you...

Rick Astley tape in the Teddy Ruxpin - Never gonna...

And, I knew fashion. When I wanted to dance around to my favourite 80s songs I'd just put on the old spandex and, as Olivia Newton John suggested, I'd get Physical!

Olvia Newton John Physical and the 80s fashion

Ah the perfect decade, the 80s. And as my Mom says, there is one perfect man and he's from the 80s, his name

MISHEARD LYRICS 80S STYLE #5

1980S SONGS YOU'VE SUNG WRONG FOR YEARS

The Clash had that cool song ROCK THE CASHBAR - I loved to crank that song to 11 and really belt out the lyrics, which I thought were 'rock the quazbah' and maybe a "quazbah" was french for electric guitar? Turns out I had the words wrong #embarrassedasallgetout

Rock the Cashbar, Rock the Cashbar! Tip well!

I took the suggestion to SHOUT from Tears for Fears, and I'd shout all their songs when I'd sing them...I loved all their hits: Shout, Everybody wants to ruin the world, Head over Heals...but, I really loved that slow, emotional, song - Sewing Machines Of Love.  

Tears for Fears was my favourite

I've mentioned this song before because there are so many misinterpretations of the lyrics - TOTO's Africa. There is one part of the song that I'm glad I've confirmed - "there's nothing that a hundred men on mars could ever do". Phew, that makes sense now. Men on Mars couldn't do anything to Africa from far away. I always thought it was There's nothing that a hundred men or moors could ever do. I thought it was a big ol racist slur, but, it turns out I was wrong again! It's actually about men on mars...I feel much better now.

Toto is out of this world

One song that still doesn't sit well with me is Eddie Money's Two Chickens To Paralyze! That is just cruel. For me, I'm going to stick with the words I always thought were correct - Two tickets to para-nice (like partially nice). I'm thinking like a three star resort in Mexico. It's fine, but, you wouldn't recommend it to your friends.

I like two tickets to para-nice

80s MEMES | MUSIC, MULLETS AND MCDONALDS

1980s MEMES TO GO WITH THAT PARTY IN THE BACK

The popular haircut of the 80s was the infamous Mullet. Also known as the 'business in the front party in the back', 'the Canadian passport', 'Beaver Tail', etc. I love that there are still a few guys sporting the look. A throwback to better days? You be the judge.

Sweet ride - i'm talking hair and a ride for the lice!

There may be communities of people - that own IROCs and such - that support mullet wearing, I just don't know any of them personally.

I tried sportin' a mullet in 89, but, couldn't commit

I did try growing a mullet in the summer of '89. But, I was a bit too late on the fashion train, and I have a problem committing to things like 'long' hair. So, I never actually had a mully. One of my greatest regrets in life.

A mullet in it's natural environment - picking up lotto and smokes at the convenience store

I don't frequent convenience stores or the Wal-Mar that often, but, I may start just to see the millenium mullets in their natural habitat.

I'd be TOO SHY if I had this hair too!

I do get my fill of mullets when I watch 80s music videos. I do get a little overwhelmed, hair wise, by some 80s bands. But, I have discovered a coping strategy that works well. I just listen to the radio and then I don't have to be bombarded with the gigantic hairstyles. Remember, you can always take a visual assault break and listen to www.radionomy.com/80sthrowbackparty !

80s technology support group

Memories of the time we were figuring out life. Learning how to use technology - big clunky computers, VCRs that needed the tracking adjusted, Cassettes that snapped and needed taping, and 'negatives' that needed processing to be turned into photos (no selfies here boyz).

I learned a lot about life, usually over a styrofoam container filled to the brim with an all beef patty, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun...and yes, that's the way I ate it b/c being picky was not an option.

I'm going to turn to dirt sooner than this container will

But, it was the music of the 80s that lives on...well, the styrofoam is still floating around in the pacific ocean garbage dump, but, that is not the point.

ozone killer = 80s rock band

Abuse of 80s music with new technology

Grumpy cat please be nice to cutting crew!

True - you need at least five choices

And, for all you true 80s fans, below is a test. What is wrong with this picture? Leave a comment.
