"you can paint that house a rainbow of colors
rip out the floorboards
and replace the the shutters
but that's my plastic in the dirt"
This strong strikes me for a number of reasons: I was 5 in 1983 so the references hit home...I remember watching the Wrapped Around Your Finger video on MTV (when they still played music). The last bit gets me because yes, someday my boyhood home will be sold but no matter how it changes, my GI Joes are still buried in various places around it. I think on a deeper level, it says that no matter what changes in our lives, there are some things about us, call them memories or what have you that will never change.
