Subject: oh no!  country song about us?

Written By: the_OlLine_Rebel on 11/05/02 at 02:04 p.m.

In my car the other day, I heard the tail-end of some new song on my fave country station.  I think it was called "Nineteen-Eighty Somethin'".  It was a male but I don't know who.  Something in there about parachute pants and how cheesy he looked.  Anyone hear this?  I'll keep my ears open.

It is actually called "Nineteen-something".  It is a guy reminiscing about his childhood.  He starts in the seventies and goes to the eighties.  The one line that we can all probably relate to is "Lookin' back now I can see me, oh man did I look cheesey"...I laugh every time.

Great song, BTW. ;D

Thanks, dagwood.

Am I the only 1 who still doesn't think we looked cheesy?  (OK, besides Hairspray...)  I think we looked kinda....Hollywood?

I love that song!! It definitely brings back lots of memories about the 70's and the 80's!

I like it too. That one and the other country song "My Next Thirty Years" describe exactly how I feel right now in my life.

Does anyone know who sings the song? I might like to check it out (not that I'm a big fan of country, but if it reminisces about the 80s, then it has my attention...) :)

Mark Wills sings it.  It is an awesome song especially for those of us that remember the 70's too.  Makes me smile every time I hear it.  
"I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'.  It was 1980 somethin'. "

I don't think we looked cheesy.  I am pretty sure our kids will be embarassed by us, though. ;)

Finally saw the video of this this morning on CMT, a channel that still plays videos, albeit country.  TAKE A HINT, MTV AND VH1!!!!!

I saw a live performance video of the Mark Wills' "Nineteen Something" just the other day as well. I really liked the song's touching lyrics and I could really identify with the message of the song! :)
