80's Flashback!!

With the NKOTB (New Kids on the Block) reuniting, I decided to compare their most recent Today Show performance to their original performances back in the 80's. I don't remember totally being in love with them, but I think my older sister was and a few years later I inherited her tape that she had just simply out grown. It was funny, I knew almost every single word to every single song. How does that work? I haven't heard or thought of the NKOTB for nearly 20 years and yet, there I was, a 20-something, married woman singing along like it was yesterday.

Well that got us (Jimi and I) into a new discussion about what our first cassette tape was that we personally owned. Well, I am proud to say that my first ever tape, which was all mine and NOT a hand-me-down was......drumroll please....Wilson Phillips. I loved them! My aunt and uncle and very cool cousins gave it to me for my birthday and it just made me feel so grown-up to be given such an adult gift. I think I was 9 years old. :) Jimi's first tape was the Miami Vice soundtrack....isn't that funny? He was like 3 years old when that show started, apparently it made a big impression in his little life and he liked to jam while wearing a fluorescent green blazer and oversized plastic sunglasses. Can you imagine? Anyway, back to the reason for this post, we were searching youtube for old music videos that took us back to our childhood and I came across this one.

Probably all of you Utah natives already knew that Tiffany shot most of this in Ogden and more speficially at the old Ogden City Mall and the Union Station, but we didn't! What a surprise!

Anyway, it was kinda fun to reminsce and be a bit nastolgic. Here's to the 80's, the era of big hair, bright colors and us!
