1985 Lyrics

Woohoo
Woohoo

Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One Prozac a day
Husbands a CPA
Her dreams went out the door
When she turned twenty four
Only been with one man
What happened to her plan?

She was gonna be an actress
She was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake her ass
On the hood of White Snake's car
Her yellow SUV, is now the enemy
Looks at her average life
And nothing has been alright since

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on M-T-V
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Woohoo
(1985)
Woohoo

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

Where's the mini-skirt made of snake skin
And who's the other guy singing in Van Halen
When did reality become T.V.
What ever happened to sitcoms, game shows
(On the radio was)

Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on M-T-V
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

Woohoo

She hates time make it stop
When did Motley Crue become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this
Stop! Stop! Stop!
And bring back

Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on M-T-V
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied
1985

Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on M-T-V
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
But she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985

I guess I'm the only one who cares, but oh well -.- it's Motley CRUE, and that one, I can maybe understand misspelling (I know before I was a fan I thought it was 'Crew'), but how in Jupiter's name do you spell OZZY motherfuckin' Osbourne wrong??? That's just musical blasphemy!

Lyric Correction

@marqupton They even forgot the umlauts when they fixed that, guys it isn't Motley Crue, its Mötley Crüe. Get it right.

I like this song, especially the line

<i>"And Music still on MTV "</i>

Struck a chord with me.

people love 2 criticize this band 4 making fun songs and i don't understand y. 2 many bands nowadays r depressing, while b4s keeps rock fun. this song is (like everclear's volvo driving soccer mom) a fun look at a suburban housewife who didn't get to live her teenage fantasies of becoming famous....the 80s references in there just add to the fun

hmm just listened to the one by SR-71, the lyrics on theirs are better but BFS has a sings it better.

also to everyone who says stuff like "this song sucks so they suck" and then say that SR-71 wroe it, well if sr-71 wrote the song, than how does BFS suck?

Catchiest song ever.

And surprisingly, the whole "She hates time. make it stop" line really relates to me.

Catchy song.. wouldn't call it "great" but it is a fun song. The video IS hilarious though... great references to the 80's with the parody of Robert Palmer's video for "Addicted to Love"... and the George Michael bit was great as well.. Plus, the "mom" is so hot!!!
