When the song 1985 came out, 1985 was 19 years ago (2004). Now we're in 2023 and 2004 was 19 years ago.
​
As someone who was a kid when that song came out, it gives me perspective of how recent it may have seemed to some people
As a person who was an adult by 1985, this made me smile.
As someone born in 1985…fuck I feel old rn.
Who wrote the song? I've never heard of it.
Guess someone needs to make a sequel song about her daughter who’s still pining for… two thousand… two thousand… two thousand and four!
Bowling for soup
r/showerthoughts is leaking
technically, they covered it
There's an updated version been around on tiktok for a couple of years, it threw me for a loop 😭 I felt so old hearing it lol.
Honestly as I'm almost 29 years old I find that I am the woman that Bowling for Soup was talking about. I grew up with this being a big part of my youth and now it's just hit me so much harder.
sr71 did the original version. bowling for soup covered it. bowling for soup also covered "Stacy's mom" as another big hit.
SR71 originally. They decided it "sounded more like a Bowling for Soup song" and gifted it to them, becoming one of their biggest hits.
Bowling for Soup has a new-ish song out not called "Getting old Sucks (but everybody's doing it)" that does seem like a fitting follow up to this though.
The original is better! "Never knew George was gay! Hope they'd hook up one day!" 😂
Wow I had no idea
Until this moment, I didn't even know they covered Stacy's Mom. All I've ever heard was the Fountains of Wayne version.
