Woohoohoo
Woohoohoo 

Debbie just hit the wall, she never had it all 
One Prozac a day, husband's a CPA 
Her dreams went out the door 
When she turned twenty-four 
Only been with one man 
What happened to her plan

She was gonna be an actress 
She was gonna be a star 
She was gonna shake her ass 
On the hood of White Snake's car 
Her yellow SUV is now the enemy 
Looks at her average life 
And nothing has been alright 

Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna 
Way before Nirvana 
There was U2 and Blondie 
And music still on MTV 
Her two kids in high school 
They tell her that she's uncool 
Cause she's still preoccupied 
With 19, 19, 1985 

Woohoohoo 
(1985) 
Woohoohoo

She's seen all the classics, she knows every line 
'Breakfast Club', 'Pretty in Pink' 
Even 'St. Elmo's Fire' 
She rocked out to Wham!
Not a big Limp Bizkit fan 
Thought she'd get a hand 
On a member of Duran Duran 

Where's the mini-skirt made of snake skin 
And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen 
When did reality become TV 
Whatever happened to sitcoms, game shows 
On the radio was

Springsteen, Madonna 
Way before Nirvana 
There was U2 and Blondie 
And music still on MTV 
Her two kids in high school 
They tell her that she's uncool 
Cause she's still preoccupied 
With 19, 19, 1985 

Woohoohoo

She hates time, make it stop 
When did Motley Crue become classic rock
And when did Ozzy become an actor
Please make this stop, stop 
Stop, and bring back 

Springsteen, Madonna 
Way before Nirvana 
There was U2 and Blondie 
And music still on MTV 
Her two kids in high school 
They tell her that she's uncool 
Cause she's still preoccupied 
With 1985 

Springsteen, Madonna 
Way before Nirvana 
There was U2 and Blondie 
And music still on MTV 
Her two kids in high school 
They tell her that she’s uncool 
Cause she's still preoccupied 
With 19, 19, 1985


NOTE - the 'clean' version of the song has a different section, 
shake her as sis changed to shake it down

10 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal well i can safely say im quite late on these boards but i have been looking at them for quite a while and it makes me when people are going on and on about how amazing bfs is and how creative they are with writing 1985. i have been an SR-71 fan for quite a while and it gets me really upset seeing how they do not get the credit they deserve. i was also told that in an interview with BFS. apparently BFS was making it like they wrote the song with out giving mention to SR-71. and i just want to tell everyone that knows SR-71 wrote this song I LOVE YOU

131 posts	wow, there's a lot of posts for this song...understandable though since it's pretty good but i think it's more so annoying than catchy. the first time i heard it i liked it a lot, but it's been all downhill since then. anyway, ok song but i've heard better.

131 posts	Her yellow SUV is now the enemy this means that she's angry with the life she has. she wishes it was still 1985, but it's not and she isn't cool anymore. she's a married woman with kids and an SUV....not really a car that someone who parties wishes to have. looking at the SUV reminds her of the plans of the life she wanted and the life that she has now, 2 total opposites.

1 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Bowling for Soup can't write, this song is "such a hit" but it was covered from SR-71(best band evar). I'm tired of hearing about Bowling for Soup already, as this is the only song that's EVER been a hit for them.

5 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal The first time I heard this song i thought "well, this'll be catchy" and had it stuck in my head for weeks. Well, my friend sent it to me a week ago and the first night i listened to it (I kid you not) a good 27-28 times all I have to say is (as Strongbad would put it) "Holy crap!" loved it from the first moment I heard it. Finally a good band who isn't sexist or femal degrading like all that damn rap that's so popualar GO BOWLING FOR SOUP!!!!!!!
