I'll never get those hours back...

Hmmm, why did I stay up to watch the One Hit Wonders of the 80s last night? I was flipping channels, heard a familiar song and the next thing I know I'm getting cozy on my couch and settling in to watch the countdown.

Worst of all...the #1 "One Hit Wonder" of the 1980s was Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners. Had I known that, I would have gotten my zzzzzzzzs earlier.

(It was kind of fun to see videos that I hadn't seen in ages from the early years of MTV: the hair, the makeup, the costumes...mostly, the hair!)

On a high note, I did find forgotten Easter candy and that tastes just as sweet in July...

  1. I can't turn that trash off either. Have you seen the I Love the 70s/80s/90s series on VH-1? It's like a car crash you can't help but watch!

  2. I love all those shows on VH1. I can't turn the channel when I come across one. I had already seen that particular one and could have told you the #1 song was C'mon Eileen, LOL.

  11. I would totally have done the same thing! Come On Eileen? I liked that song, but I wouldn't have thought it was number one!

  12. I would've loved that show! Remember when VH1 actually DID videos? They all do reality shows now. I think only GAC (which sounds like it's spelled) does vids anymore...
