In Love with the Eighties (Pink Tux to the Prom) Lyrics

So it was Jeremy in 1983,
In his, Ocean Pacific tee, who got a bloody knee.
On his skateboard, in the halfpipe that tuesday night.

[Chorus]
And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear,
And I've been working on this mustache all summer long.
And my favorite band will always be tears for fears,
And I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom.

Cutting class through the first floor window he's,
Driving fast cus he never did a thing slow.
And I look up to my big bro,
Cus in the 80s all the ladies grabbed his hand and couldn't let go.

[Chorus]

And he's the president, of the breakfast club,
But he's not hesitant, to fall in love...
To find a way, to fall in love with the 80s...

[Chorus]

These lyrics are more than a little bit wrong. Here's how it actually goes:

So it was Jeremy in 1983 In his Ocean Pacific tee Who got a bloody knee On his skateboard In the half pipe In the backyard That Tuesday night.

And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear And I've been working on this mustache all summer long. And my favorite band will always be Tears For Fears And I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom.

Cuttin' class through the first flood window -- He's driving fast cuz he never did a thing slow. And I look up to my big bro Cuz in the '80s all the ladies grabbed his hand and couldn't let go.

And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear And I've been working on this mustache all summer long. And my favorite band will always be Tears For Fears And I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom -- A pink tux to the prom…

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. Pink tux to the prom. Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. Pink tux to the prom.

I am gonna wear A pink tux to the prom. Live without a care -- What could possibly go wrong?

When you're the president of the Breakfast Club And you're not hesitant to fall in love -- To fall in love.

To throw it away to fall in love with the '80s.

I am gonna wear A pink tux to the prom. Live without a care -- What could possibly go wrong?

I am gonna wear A pink tux to the prom. Live without a care -- Cuz you threw it away To fall in love…

With the '80s.

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.

Other than a tribute ot the 80s of sorts, it is just saying do whatever you want to do, and don't worry about what other people think.

I don't know about growing up in the '80s...but some of the music and movies from that time period seem so depressing, and I think today the '80s are so romanticised and I don't think they were that good after all. People choose to remember the good parts but forget the bad parts. Just like your grandfather, way back when he was your age, you know what I mean? Sorry for the rambling.
