Welcome to the FIRST EVER "A Look Back" link-up!
I am SUPER happy to be co-hosting with these lovelies:
Feeling nostalgic? Have some (in the words of my girl Alyx) AWESOME "retro" styles to showcase circa 198/9-fill in the blank"? Wanna reminisce with some old school Madonna? Look no further! We ARE your girls every month!!

This month? 1984!
#1 Song this week in 1984!! Holla!
Couldn’t think of a BETTER way to start out my post for today’s A Look Back Link-Up: 1984!
AND FYI, when I was looking up this song on YouTube I TOTALLY got sidetracked by this song!!
I SO couldn’t help it…but alas WRONG YEAR! Can’t wait for 1987! My WHOLE theme might be related to Dirty Dancing!!!
Anyway…I’m getting horrifically OFF track!
At THIS time in 1984, I was 4 years old.
My FAV toys were My Little Pony’s. ESPECIALLY the CASTLE!

My FAV friends were my COUSINS Betsy and LeAnn! They lived on a farm and we ran around the
farm and climbed on everything! Probably
the most carefree time of ANY of our lives!
PS: They had a goat like this! AND you’ll never guess what his name was…

| Hi! My name's Billy! |
TOLD you that you would NEVER guess!!!
And honestly...well not much else going on in my memory then so I will leave you with...

(I COULD NOT…ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT RESIST)…
#2 on the Billboard charts on June 1, 1984 was "Hello" by
Lionel Richie.
Am I the only one who thinks he’s a bit creepy…ok a LOT creepy in
this video?
TOLD YA! Bahahahahahaha!

I was going to guess that the goat's name was "goat." I guess Billy is better!
ReplyDeleteHa! Loving the soundtrack!!
ReplyDeleteMy Little Ponies were BOMB!!
i didnt even stop to watch the videos and im sidetracked by the songs!! haha!! =)
ReplyDeleteBooo I wasn't even a twinkle in my mother's eye in 1984. This is such a fun idea, though.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to admit - I am guilty of being absolutely IN LOVE with 80s music. It's a curse, I tell you!!
Thanks for the shout-out, by the way! :)
Okay so, I LOVE this! I'm going to write something up this afternoon when I have time to scan in a picture :)
ReplyDeleteOh my word, that Lionel Richie song is totally a running gag in our group of friends. We talk all the time about how incredibly creepy that video is! Totally cracks us up. Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteYea what fun! I was born in 87 and will be joining up then :)
ReplyDeleteNot to see what the rest of these lovely ladies have to share!
Ha! Hilarious! Of COURSE the goat's name was Billy! lol I forgot about all those songs too! Thanks for a fun linky party Kelly!! Have a great weekend girlie! :)
ReplyDeleteI never ever saw that Hello music video. they're in college, right? and Lionel is like a first year teacher? please? lol
ReplyDeletelove it!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOkay, several points:
ReplyDelete1. Lets hear it for the boy. BOMB. LOVE IT. LOVE all things Footloose (as pointed out in my look back, Kenny Loggins is never the wrong answer.)
2. Ponies. BOMB. I had the pony castle too... Complete with strange pony elevator. amazing.
3. Yes, total creep show.
Love this!!
xoxo

Muuuuhahahah. I LOVE THIS IDEA. If I wasn't stuck in bed with the stomach flu the last few days, I would have been all over this. I'll get caught up!
ReplyDeleteI so remember that weird art-class "Hello" video by Lionel Richie. Not nearly as cool as the video for "Dancing on the Ceiling".
I was 2 in 1984 and my sister was 5, so you best be believing we had some My Little Pony paraphernalia cluttering up our playroom.
My little ponies were the best! I wasn't born until 1985 though, so I guess that 1984 would not have been a likely link-up for me! 1985 though... July 1st happens to be my birthday. So it might be the perfect day to participate!
