I saw it a few weeks ago - Greg sent it to me -&nbsp;and I sent it to Inge. I did not know the song actually. I listened to&nbsp;British music in the '80s, and moved onto American music in the early '90s. It was a fun skit though. Laughed and laughed.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/epic-snl-skit-for-80s-lovers#post-1107726 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 15:04:02 +0000 Janet 1107726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOLing at Black Sabbath vs. Depeche Mode. I was a BS fan in high school and DM fan in college (although neither one was my absolute favorite band -- early in high school I was into Rush, Led Zeppelin, Heart, etc. and then later more into Bowie, the Police, U2...), so I just cannot compare them in my mind. But yeah, my 80s were more Echo and the Bunnymen, the Smiths, and Siouxsie than this. ;-)</p> <p>Still, the skit cracked me up. Oh, his hair. One of my boyfriends in my freshman year of college had that hair -- he looked a lot like Andy Summers from the Police. *sigh* Memories... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/epic-snl-skit-for-80s-lovers#post-1107525 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 03:55:05 +0000 Mo 1107525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I was a bit of a sourpuss in the 80's. &nbsp;Hated the neon and Howard Jones and Madonna. &nbsp;Depeche Mode was too superfluous. &nbsp;I clearly remember moving into an apartment in my very early 20's and 'battling' my roommate with Black Sabbath vs&nbsp;her Depeche Mode. &nbsp;Oh, the days . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/epic-snl-skit-for-80s-lovers#post-1107505 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 03:25:24 +0000 Jules 1107505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was fun, I watched it twice. My 80s was also a bit darker Mo, featuring Depeche Mode, the Cure etc, but I also love those old cheesy songs that are actually a bit before my time. I think it's fake nostalgia for something I never had.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/epic-snl-skit-for-80s-lovers#post-1107482 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 02:43:31 +0000 Mo 1107482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you hate me if I say it doesn't really hit home? &nbsp; I mean the ditty is catchy but &nbsp;. . . I dunno, maybe I was too Metallica in the 80's? &nbsp;I mean, Ride The Lightning was EPIC when I was a teenager in the Bay Area.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://vimeo.com/8642273">http://vimeo.com/8642273</a></p> <p></p> <p>Edit: my BF today makes faces when I play this - 10 years must make a world of difference, or the 2,000 &nbsp;miles from KY to CA. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/epic-snl-skit-for-80s-lovers#post-1107423 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 00:10:54 +0000 Vicki 1107423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>UPDATE: &nbsp;I'm getting ready to hop in the shower and I keep singing that song and can't get it out of my head. &nbsp;Thanks, Una! &nbsp;At least we're all singing the same tune. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/epic-snl-skit-for-80s-lovers#post-1107414 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 00:00:11 +0000 Hestonian 1107414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They had my 80s wardrobe down pat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/epic-snl-skit-for-80s-lovers#post-1107391 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 23:25:36 +0000 catgirl 1107391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can NOT get that song out of my head now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/epic-snl-skit-for-80s-lovers#post-1107369 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 22:52:42 +0000 Vicki 1107369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You just gave me a huge afternoon laugh! &nbsp;Loved it along with overdosing on the pinks, turquoise and fuchsia spandex. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/epic-snl-skit-for-80s-lovers#post-1107258 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 20:41:15 +0000 MsMary 1107258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That?&nbsp; Was hilarious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/epic-snl-skit-for-80s-lovers#post-1107194 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 19:23:45 +0000 catgirl 1107194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no!
