You know, I don't think it's supposed to be the name of the song. I think it's the lyric that most people immediately recognise.

I remember watching a lot of movies with my olds in the 80's. Die Hard for one, and the Indiana Jones movies. I think we got our Beta video back then and we used to get lots of stuff. Then beta started getting rare.... last movie we were able to get for Beta on hire was Ghost.

Yeah. I feel corny.

Most of the stuff on that list applies to me.

By the way, Reading Rainbow is win. Not on the list. But win nonetheless.

Because there are not naturally any female smurfs, and Gargamel created Smurfette to tempt them.

I've got another to add to the list:

You remember when The Simpsons came out, and thought it was the greatest animated show ever.

This list is very accurate. I grew up for 4 years in the '80's, and a lot of that stuff has stuck with me.

Nowadays I can't stand DuckTales, but I know just about all the words fromt the song.
I used to watch 80's toons like Denver The Last Dinosaur, TMNT, Fraggle Rock, and some others which I barely remember.
It's funny, children of the 80's are fond of that decade, but my dad-and I'm sure many others fathers as well-hated it.
"You were born at a time when music started getting bad", he tells me. And then there's the hillarious, "The only good part about the 80's was Ronald Reagan!(God rest his sould)".

MY father really took care of me before he left. That's all I remember. I'm not actually an 80's person.

Until Sassette came along and then we had two female Smurfs!

Not counting Nanny, the ancient female Smurf.

Younger kids recognize a lot of it because of repeats and crap. The original stuff was more 80's, or at least when 80's kids were teenagers.

I recognize quite a bit off the list, I was born in 89.
