This is a song about the singer's memories from the 80's. Just a bunch of nostalgia for the early 30's to late 40's crowd (ergo.. people who were young in the 80's). It is especailly relevant if you grew up in So Cal. Checkered Vans were popular here then and Vans shoes didn't exist outside the state at the time. Bobby Grich was a player for the California Angels baseball team. BMX bikes were popular at the time and Huffy made cheap ones you could buy at K-Mart etc. Not sure about Jelly sandals but I remember girls wearing them when I was in elementary school.
