Of course I remember. It’s still my parents‘ number.

Not only that but one house we lived in, in a village in Cheshire, started with a four digit phone number, and I remember the fifth digit being added (in the days when the dialling code for your area was a whole other number that you learnt later on)

Nope but I remember Jenny's

Hahahaha thank you

I'm 70yrs old ... Had a 'party line' lift make sure no one else using (or listen if they were lol) 4 digits #5370

Pay rent like it’s 1999. Better yet, buy a house like it’s 1999.

👍👍👍💧💧💧💲💲💲😭😭😭. I remember paying. 75 cents a gallon for gas’s. Spending $100 in groceries with a 6 month old. I had a Fiat Spider convertible, 1980, I think. Child is with a friend. Trunk is full. The two seats in the back, full. Passenger seat was empty, but I had to put the top down to avoid possibly blocking my right side. $100. This was ca. 1985.

I wanna put on my skinny jeans like its 1999...

1979

I was born in 1999 😭

When the Romulans come in with no flag and gank you both

Looking very good for me. Geeky neighbours with a sense of humour, how much better can it get?

I would like to live on this street.

In my home. The neighbour and my father used x-rays in the window.... it was a serius and hilarious fight!!!

So then the ultimate honor is Weird Al winning a Grammy for parodying your song.

Even Coolio publicly admitted how he regretted giving Weird Al a hard time for his parody Amish Paradise. Coolio later said it was a great song, and was able to bury the hatchet prior to his 2022 death.

Too funny as I'm watching UHF right now

there's actually a name for this, 'you've been Yankoviced', and your ratings on the parodied song are guaranteed to go up too

I still remember my first concert when I was 4 or 5, sparked a love for Weird Al!

Yes, we had yards to play in, but the street was a nice hard flat surface that was much better for some sports than grass. Just the way it is when you’re a kid.

Unless you grew up like I did, way out in the country on a ranch where there were no streets, but we had endless miles of empty land to explore, ride horses and bikes wherever we wanted. Just come home for dinner when mom rang dinner bell. Freedom

And if you managed to dodge all cars you were the bomb

Can confirm.

Then followed by once the car passed "Game on!"

Four of these predate the 80s. Jetsons, Flintstones and Scooby Doo are 60s/70s and Bugs and Daffy are even older,

Gimme, gimme road runner!

No Bullwinkle?

Earthworm Jim!

In France, I watched captain harlock, Grendizer Ulysses 31, Captain future, Cobra, masters of the universe, battle of the planets, Jayce, the mysterious cities of gold... Memories, including all the corresponding toys that existed.
