My neighbor also bought that Tiffany tape and I had to listen to that single while waiting for the school bus every morning until the end of June. Most of the other students also ended up buying fingerless biking gloves because in 12 year old 1988 brains it made a person look tough as hell.

Haha, I used wear fingerless weightlifting gloves when I was that age.

Spoiler for Top 5:
5. "I Think We're Alone Now"—Tiffany (what could be more perfectly 80s than a video with concert footage from a mall?)




4. "Pour Some Sugar on Me"—Def Leppard (featuring Joe Elliott's awesome mullet, quite similar to the one I sported back then)




3. "Father Figure"—George Michael (wearing an unconvincing beard in more than one way here)




2. "Push It"—Salt-n-Pepa (unbelievably, there was once a time when "get up on this" was a perplexing turn of phrase to me)




1. "Pump Up the Volume"—M/A/R/R/S (in all honestly, still a great song even without the nostalgia factor)
I know all of those tracks by heart, and yeah I used to hang out in roller skating rinks for kids' birthday parties and such at the same time that you did. Your post is almost too familiar for words.

Yeah, uh, late-80s Belinda was one of my first sexual experiences so to speak

Uh, more a Suzi Quatro man myself (reveals age...) --- man she looked hot back then! Probably still does...

Heh. I'm glad to hear someone can relate so much.

I think mine was probably Lisa Bonet, who had that amazing Rolling Stone spread in the very same year I was writing about.

I don't know her, and she doesn't look like she'd be into men, but Wikipedia tells me she was an influence on Tina Weymouth so she's a-okay in my book.

Oh wow! You don't know her? Now I feel OLD!
Suzi was the original rock chick, way before even the likes of Joan Jett or Lita Ford. The first famous female bass player ever, she fuelled many a young man's fantasy (including, of course, mine!) back in the 70s and 80s, and yes, she was married. Twice. To men. And has kids.

Here she is in action... how could you resist?

Are you in the UK? From what I'm reading about her, it sounds like she was a lot bigger over there than here. So it may be more of a geography thing than an age thing.

It's always weird how stuff like that happens. Sort of like the "big in Japan" phenomenon I guess.
