1989 (An Ode to the 80s) Lyrics

It is 1989

Hulkamania is running wild

George H. W. Bush is the president of the United States

Margaret Thatcher is the prime minister of the United Kingdom

Mikhail Gorbachev is the leader of the Soviet Union

And Elizabeth Olsen, also known as Een, is born

This is an ode to the 80s

This is an ode to the 80s

1989

The last year of the 80s

1989

It's 1989

Ringo Starr forms his own band called Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band

Wallace & Gromit: A Grand Day Out is released

Starting the phrase 'We forgot the crackers Gromit'

And, in film

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is the highest grossing film of 1989

This is an ode to the 80s

1989

The last year of the 80s

1989

Breaking news

Breaking news

The Berlin Wall has come down

The Berlin Wall has come down

This song is an ode to the 80s

This song is an ode to the 80s

This song is an ode to the 80s

This song is an ode to the 80s

I'm playing on my Nintendo Gameboy which has just released this year in 1989

This song is an ode to the 80s

World

This song is an ode to the 80s

Wide

This song is an ode to the 80s

Web

This song is an ode to the 80s

Has been invented

This song is an ode to the 80s

This song is an ode to the 80s

This song is an ode to the 80s

D'oh

This song is an ode to the 80s

The Simpsons has aired its very first episode

Bart Simpson

Don't have a cow man

Don't have a cow man

Don't have a cow man
