Trap door. Don't you open that trap door cos there's something down there.
A surprise hurricane.
Living in a shitty small house.
Such memories.

I love how you reminisced. Scary even—trapdoor?!

Wow. Never knew about that.

That was catchier than it should have been. Especially since I am 8x older than the target audience.

Why am I still singing the song?

[NightWolve]

POLICE: I love La Polizie. Even that song PEANUTS! is awesome. Such a great band. I learned who Nabakov was from that big hit song.

Oh, so that's where "Lolita" came from and why it means what it means... The 80's mix of "Don't Stand So Close to Me" is the better version, but yeah, I do remember that line of "Just like the old man in That famous book by Nabakov" in it. When you take that song and add in "Every breath you take, Every move you make, Every bond you break, Every step you take, I'll be watching you", eeehhh, one might start to one wonder there about the ole Stinger...

[Necromancer]

Any of you ever read Nabokov's Lolita?  It's f*cked up.

[NightWolve]

Nope, I didn't know it was a book till este mentioned the Nabakov line and I looked up the name. I learned "Lolita" from the cultural use it gained for pedo-fiends.

A-Ha is great. Scoundrel Days is my favorite but I have stuff from them as recent as 2009 and I love that too. I think he can still hit the high note on Take On Me, which is impressive. I could barely hit it when I was 20, now I'm two or three semitones below.

I vaguely remember the main dude collaborating with someone else I like on something recently, I can't remember what though.

Next time we meet up, Zeta, I'm gonna wanna hear your take of Take on Me. 

[Bonknuts]

Lived it. Watched it. Don't need to do it again.

 Hahaha. I can relate this. Outside of retro games, I have no love for the 80's. I lived though it - it's wasn't that great. Same with the 90's. Probably even more so with the 90's. I actually hate the 90's. I miss neither.

[TheOldMan]

I have no love for the 80's.

I wish I could -remember- the 80's.
They say pot affects your long-term memory

Probably even more so with the 90's

The 90's were ok. Spend the decade raising my niece and nephew. Days just blur together when you are doing things like that. Except for when I met my wife. That one I remember well.

[TR0N]

It wouldn't been entertaining in the 80's without Oingo Boingo

^ Bum-Ra. Awesome.

I don't think they could have packed any more puns in that Thunderpants video.

I read bits of it (first half), to compare it to the film (Kubrick).

I realized that there were certainly some differences, but I still haven't sat down and read it properly. This was 10 years ago.

I did the same thing with King's The Shining vs Kubrick's film, but I still need to properly read the novel. This was 20 years ago.

I am happy to report that I read King's Carrie completely, after watching the original film, when I was a little kid. This was 30 years ago.

Why can't I accomplish as an adult what I did as a kid?

Even though I was in 6 grade, Carrie scared me.

[MrBroadway]

Technically came out in the 80s!

[Opethian]

maybe but you didn't see it in record stores until Broken came out anyways.
