After years of speculation over his sexual orientation, Ricky Martin announced today on his website that he is actually gay. I know, you were shocked. Moment of silence. Okay, now let’s get back to what’s really important to us. In an effort to always bring you the best of the 80s, riddle me this. What 80′s cartoon theme song did Ricky Martin sing? Anyone???
It’s “Rubic-the Amazing Cube” when he was with Menudo. Anyone even know what that was? Yeah…me neither.
During the 80s, we experienced a recession similar to the one facing the country today. McDonald’s, having a much greater level of integrity then, decided to run this ad. Take a look to see how much inflation has grown in 20 years. In fact, if you took the price of a $.39 burger in today’s dollars, it would only cost $.77! (Thank you inflation calculator: http://www.westegg.com/inflation/) There are many differences in the commercials from the 80s to today, check this one out and see what differences you find:
Okay, now we’re talking 80s, but internationally that is. That’s an A+ mullet for sure. Love it…classic music video with the smoke and everything. Lasciatemi cantare!
Ahhh, Dane Cook in My Best Friend’s Girl. Need I say more? Well, yes, I can. But I’ll just leave you with a little of John Hiatt’s ‘Everybody Needs a Little Faith’ 1987 hit that was featured on the soundtrack.
Just got done watching Superbad and figured I’d post this. In our quest to give you the best things about the 80′s, I am throwing out another classic. Enjoy!
The Wall Street Journal blows some bubbles and chimes in on the whole ‘Hot Tub Time Machine’ splash. “It has the good fortune to come on the heels of ‘The Hangover,’ the surprise hit of 2009 that also happened to be a raunchy comedy.” Join the wave on March 26th and flashback to the 80s.
Out of all the songs…Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up. Pop artist from the 80s. Definition of bad taste. And worst part is – Can’t. Get. This. Freakin’. Song. Outta. My. Head. (!) OMG, and the video, so painful…
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
What song is on REPEAT in your head?
Nothing like some uplifting reading at 1 in the morning. ABC News talks about Corey Haim and 10 other child stars story from the ’80s who have been plagued with problems and drug abuse.
