Anyone have any clues on this song? It is cheesy but it's stuck in my head. The lyrics are pretty funny.

I take that back...

...I like the lyrics. I'm not sure why I'm fascinated with this song. My wife is absolutely not sure. Ah, 1989... The Berlin wall came down.. Some of us thought we might see democracy in China... The Sovietes pulled out of Afghanistan... John McCain was getting busted for corruption... I owned like 6 CDs.

Wow!

I was living around here in 1989 but somehow didn't make it to that event. 

Here's a cure to getting that song out of your head. Sarah introduced this to OlyBlog earlier this year: Schnappi Das Kleine Krokodil

Damn you both....

just kidding of course. Now I've got COMPETING annoying songs in my head. It'll be interesting to see which one wins tonight as I try to fall asleep . At least they both make me laugh (but in an annoying way, not in a 'ha ha' way).

p.s. - I was still in high school in 1989, and my hair looked frightenly like the lady doing the robot in the video. Thank god those days are over....

I had hair back then too!

I moved to Oly the next year. Strange times for me, but I don't remeber the music or costumes.

Ooh. I guess by the navigation thingy up there...

Hey! What gives?

I am very sorry someone decided to yank this vid once it got some attention.

Why was it posted in the first place?

It will, however, be forever etched into my memory. So if you want to erase it entirely, you'll have to kill me! I'm now like those walking books in Fahrenheit 451, and I can duplicate all their moves. As far as I can see we all enjoyed this video as a cultural and historical relic, even making fun of ourselves in the process.

So Marcie, when my daughter was on the way this song kept ringing through my head. I pass it on to you, like handing a baton in the great cycle of parenthood. It will replace the two annoying songs mentioned above.

This might mean war

Now that's just mean.  I'll see your Gumby and raise you this.  Mwaaa haaa haaaa :)

So that's how it is, is it?

So that's how it is, is it? I see I have to bring out the big guns now. It will be Mrs. Miller for you! You will pine for Gumby by the time you are finished with this. I proudly own this album, by the way. I played part of it for my 9 year old nephew, but cut it short in case CPS happened to be in the neighborhood.
