I had put on FB that I was listening to 80's music this past weekend and it is funny how certain songs make me think of certain people. First came Madonna and "Lucky Star". I mentally can see Judy on the NBHS 1984 pep squad do her routine and I know the opening cue music to shake my imaginary pom poms to.
Then Van Halen "Jump" came on. I had this pseudo crush on kid that lived next door to my sister. It was more because he was a boy and I was a girl and that he actually spoke to me than a true crush. I remember him playing Van Halen and thinking he was so cool.
Then there is "I would walk five hundred miles and I would walk five hundred more just to be the man to walk a thousand miles and see you at your door...dar-dar-da" along with "Come on Eileen" are songs that once you hear them....you can't get them out of your head. I picture Mike Ventura singing "Fish Heads Fish Heads rolly polly Fish Heads". I also remember kid who danced so good in high school do a Michael Jackson dance to "Beat It" at our Jr. Prom.
I wonder what song people hear and think of me? "When Irish Eyes are Smiling"? Probably but that is okay with me.
