Ahh the memories..... I remember thinking WTF was a headghog and can they really save the world. :)

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...

I still know all the words to the fresh prince of bel-air...

:sneaky:



[Nostalgia]
-In west Philadelphia born and raised,
on a playground is where i spent most of my days,
Chillin out, maxin, relaxin all cool, and all shootin some b-ball outside of the school,
when a couple of guys, they were up to no good,
Started makin trouble in my neighbourhood,
I got in one little fight, and my mom got scared and said,
Youre movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel-air,
I whistled for a cab, and when it cam near, the Licence plate said "fresh" and it had a dice in the mirror,
If anything i could say that this cab was rare but i thought "nah forget it, yo homes to Bel-air"
{Musical Interlude}
{/end Musical Interlude}
I, Pulled, up to the house about 7 or 8, and i yelled to the cabbie yo homes smell ya later,
I looked at my kingdom, i was finally there,
To sit on my throne, as the Prince of Bel-Air.
[/End Nostalgia]



Ive done most of those...thats the sad thing...

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Some trivia: If you watch early episodes of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, you get a whole extra verse (added at the beginning) of Will Smith rhymin' and DJ Jazzy Jeff on the beats. It was a total shock to hear more of such a great song. Keep your ears open and you may be able to hear it some day.

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

This thread was the most nostalgic thing ever.

Takes me back.

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Ah yes, I have the complete song which I believe you're referring to. I uploaded it for free distribution. Enjoy!

Wall of Bangs

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

OMG most of that implies to me, especially with the Fresh Prince one.

Classic

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Yeah, in those days it was worth watching the cartoons, wasn't it?

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

I still watch cartoons.. :sneaky:

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

pfft. not even the full version. :p



Now this is the story all about how My life got flipped,
turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
In West Philadelfia born and raised On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys said "we're up in no good"
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said "you're moving with your aunt and uncle in Bel-Air"

I begged and pleaded with her the other day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kissin' and she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I might as well kick it
First class, yo this is bad, Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air livin' like,
Hmm this might be alright!

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the Licensplate said "Fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel-Air
I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby "Yo, home smell you later"
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To settle my throne as the prince of Bel-Air

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

heh, I remember and/or did things from more than 80% of that list.

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Zach Morris

AC Slater, I forget what the AC stood for Adam something?

Samuel "Screech" Powers

Jessie

Kelly Companlon (I don't know how to spell it, but could pronounce it)

Lise Turtles

Richard Belding

That show was great, gonna get the first 4 seasons on DVD.


I still watch the Fresh Prince.

Know the words to the Ducktales song? That is just weak, I know that, TaleSpin, Darkwing Duck, Gummi Bears, Aladdin, heck most of the Disney afternoon block.

I loved Pound Puppies.

Smurfette wasn't the only female Smurf, baby Smurf was also female. That is what started to scare me.

Funny thing about Fraggle Rock is I never watched it nor heard about it, then like in Feb/March, my friend who went to school near me asked if I could get him episodes (I'm big on collecting old cartoons on my comp Batman: The Animated Series, Darkwing Duck and some others) so I was like ok. And that's howI saw my first episode.

I don't remember if I saw the original Turtles on the big screen. I've seen the movie a lot, probably 10 times in the last school year. Yup, it's about once a month at my school. Both of them, let's not talk about this supposed 3rd one.

Oregon Trail was a great game, use to suck when my cattle would die, and why is it teachers started off with such lousy pay?

I could keep going through that list, but I won't and some of it only applies to females...

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Actually, I think it was Alfred Clifford

I have a cd. It is called The Disney Afternoon. It has all of those on it. I loved those shows!

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Hey! There's nothing about backwards hats/sideways hats... OR.. Full House! Or Family Matters.

Aww. :(

Full House was definitive nineties for me. And then watching American's Funniest Home Videos right after. Oh, Bob Saget is god.

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

I thought that A.C Slater was Albert Clifford, not Alfred, but I dunno.

I agree, Bob Saget is the man. There is no doubt he'll replace Officer Carl in my avatar sometime soon.

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

My dad worked with Bob Saget once.

I have his autograph. If I find it, I'll scan it and put it up for you guys.

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Dustin Diamond is a stand up comedian now....oh how the "mighty" have fallen..


I want to know, does anyone else own/remember the skateboards that only had one tail end instead of two? The kind that was chunky in the middle?..i still have one of those...man that takes me back...

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Yep, I had one. Good stuff.

RE: Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

This was not a yes or no question. Do you still have one ?Thanks for the compliment. Be less specific :-)

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

actually it was a yes or no question....i have one.....nobody complimented you......you cant get less specific...crazy foofoobot..


I think he needs a brain boost or two, and needs to get new responses programmed into him..

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Life is like a hurricane
Here in Duck - burg
Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes
It's a, duck - blur!
Might solve a mystery,
Or rewrite history!


Ducktales! a - whooh ooh
Every day they're out there making
Ducktales! a - whooh ooh
Tales of daring do bad and good
Ducktales!
D - D - D - Danger! (Watch behind you)
There's a stranger, (out to find you!)
What to do? Just grab on to some...

Not pony tales or cotton tales, no
Ducktales! (a - whooh ooh)


Has anyone ever heard the full 2 min song?

I got that on my comp, it basically repeats over and over, but still.

RE: Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Oh, like a hurricaneHere in Duck - burgRace cars lasers aeroplanesIt's a duck - blur is LIFE ."do not worry I will remember"? Might solve a mysteryOr rewrite history?
How did you hear about Program E?
I did not know that.
Go on.
Tell me about your likes and dislikes?
I am watching.I'll come back to that later.



Why do you want to do do so much?Tell me more about your .
If not that, what? I did not know that.
Cool.
I have
a lofty goal.

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Yeah, i think you're right

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House

then childhood innocence died and it's been replaced by:

Murder, Assault, Suicide, Homicide



...

****ing reality.

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Gremlins!!! brings back good memories...


and i actually did watch saturday morning cartoons every week, couldn't miss xmen or spiderman or else i'd be sad forthe rest of the day. And then the pokemon craze hit in aboot 99. But what i was really surprised wasn't on that list was scooters, EVERYBODY had them....insane.


Its funny about the ice skating before the inline skating because its so true, we used to go skating like twice a month in elementary....partially because there was a skating rink right next to the school. And i do still have the one sided skateboard, 19.99 from walmart...aahhh, good days

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Actually, if you understood the refernece to "I've fallen and I can't get up"

You would know they did mention Family Matters. :D

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

One word: "Voltron"

Edit: More like "Cartoons"

This just made me remember all the cartoons I used to watch.

Centurions
Transformers
GI Joe
Thundercats

Now those were awesome back then.

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Actually, the first thing I think of when I hear that is the commercials for those medic bracelets with the panic button. The old lady is lying on the floor next to the bath tub. SHe pushes her handy dandy button and 911 answers and she says, "help, i've fallen and I can't get up."

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

11. You can sing the entire theme song to "Duck Tales.

Duck Tales........woo hoo......bum bum bum bum bum.

something da da something dada

Duck Tales........woo hoo......

:D

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Tales of daring do bad and good luck tales... woo ooo
D d d danger, watch behind you
Theres a stranger out to find you
What to do, just grab on to some Duck Tales ... woo ooo
Everyday they're out there making Duck tales... woo ooo

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Or maybe I was too young to remember. :p

And "I've fallen and I can't get up" is only one reference, indirectly. :p

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Remember:


"You're in big trouble mister"?

man, that show sucked. so did Home Improvement.

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

*insert Tim grunt here*

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Wrong.

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

I was born in 1987, and most of those things DO apply to me. Heh. That's cool.

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

I beg to differ. Both of those shows were great! A lot better than what is on tv now.

Re: You know you grew up in the 80's or early 90's if...
 

Full House was one of the greatest shows ever.

I hate Bob F@ggot though...Stamos and the Olsens stole the show
