Colgate Pump Commercial Meets Madness!

I remember watching this commercial on TV, especially Saturday morning cartoon day.  I really liked the tune and used to sing it not realizing that this was "House Of Fun" by the Ska/New Wave band Madness.  Now everytime I get out my old Madness records I only hear the Colgate Pump commercial!

One Crazy Summer

With summer like weather in my neck of the woods I'm in the mood for summer themed movies.  Why not start with one of the most underrated comedies of the 80s, and probably my favorite!   This is one of those over the top 80s comedies that I really enjoy, on par with the likes of  Better Off Dead, Summer School, Back To The Beach and Summer Rental...

This was constantly in my movie rental queue when I was in 8th and 9th grade and I really haven't tired of the movie at all.

Radio From My Past

A buddy of mine started an online radio station based on WDEK DeKalb (now defunct) radio station that we both grew up with!  This is quite the nostalgia trip, reminding me of the days when the only thing I worried about was my grades in school (I didn't worry too much about those), if I was going to have enough money to pick up my comic subscription at Northern Lights Bookstore or what the right thing to say to a girl I liked.

Check it out if you love the 80's, it's a great station!

"You're listening to WDEK DeKalb, we're rocking Northern Illinois!"

Music in the 80's

One of the great songs and videos of the decade. Sweden's A-ha - Take On Me!
