True Colors
1986
by Tom Kelly & Billy Steinberg
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh i realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But i see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And thats why i love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a Rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When i last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know i'll be there
And i see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And thats why i love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a Rainbow
Girls just wanna have fun!!!

80's movie quotes
Here are a few of my favorite 80's movie quotes.
Better Off Dead
"Go that way, really, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn."
People have died down there. And dying when you're not really sick is really sick, you know. Really!!"
Lane to Monique "Well honk my hooters, you big faker, you speak english!!"
"Gee,Ricky, I'm sorry your Mom blew up."
"C'mon, man! It's Christmas Eve. I could be home drinking this really great egg nog that my brother makes with lighter fluid."
The Breakfast Club
Andy: "Hey you guys keep talking and Vernon's gonna come right in here. I got a meet this Saturday and I'm not gonna miss it on account of you boneheads."
Bender: "Oh and wouldn't that be a bite? Wooagh! Missing a whole wrestling meet."
Andy: "You wouldn't know anything about it! You never competed in your whole life."
Bender: "Oh I know. I feel all empty inside because of it. I have such a deep admiration for guys who roll around on the floor with other guys."
Andy: "You'd never miss it. You don't have any goals."
Bender: "Oh but I do..."
Andy: "Yeah?"
Bender: "I wanna be just like you. I figure all I need is a lobotomy and some tights."
Brian(to Andy): "You wear tights?"
Andy: "No I don't wear tights. I wear the required uniform."
Brian: "Tights."
Andy: "Shut up!"
Screws fall out all the time. The world's an imperfect place
Sixteen Candles
Samantha: "You know, I just felt how much you really like me."
Geek: "You must be zoning in on my brainwaves or something."
Samantha: "No, I felt it on my leg."
"I can't believe I just gave my panties to the Geek!"
"He's wearing a red argile sweater, brown pants and red shoes...no he's not retarded!"
I have alot more these are just a few of my fave's.

Gotta Love the Breakfast Club
Dear Mr. Vernon:
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you're crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain, and an athlete, and a basket case, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours,
The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club is one of my favorite movies ever. Basically all 80's movies with
Molly Ringwald rock. I thought that all of you 80's lovers might appreciate this little movie quote.

Awesome song about the 80's
Ok so this song isn't from the 80's but it is about the 80's. This song is called "In love with the 80's" and it is by Relient K.I love this song!!
so it was jeremy in 1983
in his ocean pacific t
who got a bloody knee
on his skateboard
in the half pipe
in the backyard
that tuesday night
and i'm only gonna pierce my left ear
and i've been working on this mustache all summer long
and my favorite band will always be tears for fears
and i'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
cutting class through the first floor window
he's driving fast cause he never did a thing slow
and i look up to my big bro
cause in the 80's all the ladies grabbed his hand and couldn't let go
and i'm only gonna pierce my left ear
and i've been working on this mustache all summer long
and my favorite band will always be tears for fears
and i'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom (a pink tux to the prom)
doo doo, a doo doo doo
pink tux to the prom
doo doo, a doo doo doo
pink tux to the prom
i am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care...what could possibly go wrong?
when you're president of the breakfast club
and you're not hesitant to fall in love (to fall in love)
to throw it away to fall in love with the 80's
i am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care...what could possibly go wrong?
i am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
live without a care...
cause you threw it away to fall in love with the 80's
doo doo, a doo doo
doo doo, a doo doo
doo doo, a doo doo
