When Jake and I were little we used to dance around and lip synch to Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell. Of course we were like 8 or 9 years old :)
84 was a cool year in my opinion, but then again I view the 80's through the fog of childhood bliss.
You're rather lucky then. You probably go to forget Regan ;)
