In The 80's
You kids think your gear is iconic
But I'm gon' take you back to see some real electronics
Gimme a beige PC, green text, black screen
And 64 kB of memory (that's plenty)
Forget a phone that fits in your pocket
I keep my phone in a bag in my car (that's how we rock it)
Who needs a camcorder the size of my hand?
You know I wanna look like a news cameraman
(I wanna perch it on my shoulder like an overweight parrot)
My disks were floppy, but my hair was stiff
And all my stickers were scratch-and-sniff
In the 80s! If it was big, it was good
80s! My TV was wood
80s! My car was shaped like a box
80s! Back when everything rocked
You're tellin' me mp3s, oh they're so great
I'd rather push rewind and sit and wait
My first VCR cost me five grand
VHS is best (I'm a Beta man)
A 16-button controller really makes me sick
Gimme one red button and a joystick
In the 80s! The bigger, the better
80s! I had an antenna
80s! My TV was thick
80s! We didnt point and click
80s! I had a big boombox
80s! I calculated with my watch
80s! My mix tapes were hot
80s! Back when everything rocked
But I'm gon' take you back to see some real electronics
Gimme a beige PC, green text, black screen
And 64 kB of memory (that's plenty)
Forget a phone that fits in your pocket
I keep my phone in a bag in my car (that's how we rock it)
Who needs a camcorder the size of my hand?
You know I wanna look like a news cameraman
(I wanna perch it on my shoulder like an overweight parrot)
My disks were floppy, but my hair was stiff
And all my stickers were scratch-and-sniff
In the 80s! If it was big, it was good
80s! My TV was wood
80s! My car was shaped like a box
80s! Back when everything rocked
You're tellin' me mp3s, oh they're so great
I'd rather push rewind and sit and wait
My first VCR cost me five grand
VHS is best (I'm a Beta man)
A 16-button controller really makes me sick
Gimme one red button and a joystick
In the 80s! The bigger, the better
80s! I had an antenna
80s! My TV was thick
80s! We didnt point and click
80s! I had a big boombox
80s! I calculated with my watch
80s! My mix tapes were hot
80s! Back when everything rocked
