Child of the Eighties! - Beginnings

Me in The Eighties!, originally uploaded by astrid goes usa.

As you can read on this page (down on your right):
I'm A Child of the Eighties! And a proud one too, I might add. So I decided to start a returning post to make people understand why the eighties were such an interesting decade. O, and in case you were wondering: I was born in the lovely year 1978.

We start off with a video to bridge the gap between now and then. The music is from 2007 and you'll find the lyrics on the bottom of this post. The images are from famous eighties flicks such as The Breakfast club, Weird Science and Teenwolf. Enjoy the hair, wardrobes, colours, cars and feel of the Eighties!


Zoals je (rechtsonder) op deze pagina kunt lezen:
Ik ben een Kind van de Jaren Tachtig! En nog trots daarop ook. Dus heb ik besloten een terugkerende post te beginnen, zodat mensen kunnen begrijpen waarom de tachtiger jaren zo'n interessante tijd was. En mocht je je afvragen....Ik ben van het prachtige bouwjaar 1978.

We beginnen met een video om de tijd tussen nu en toen te overbruggen. De muziek is uit 2007 en de tekst kun je onderaan de post vinden. De beelden komen uit bekende jaren-tachtig-films zoals The Breakfast club, Weird Science en Teenwolf. Geniet van het haar, de kleding, kleuren, auto's en het gevoel van de Jaren Tachtig!




Acceptable in the 80's by Calvin Harris:

It was acceptable in the 80s
It was acceptable at the time

I've got love for you
If you were born in the 80s, the 80s
I've got hugs for you
If you were born in the 80s, the 80s

I'll do things for you
If you were born in the 80s, the 80s
I've got hugs for you
If you were born in the 80s
Yeah
