Here we are hanging on the strains of greed and blues.
Break the chain and we break down
Oh, it’s not real if you don’t feel it
Last Song: “Hooked on You” by Sweet Sensation
Great job Kids Inc Daily (@kidsincdaily)!!
I can’t explain what I’m going through
Wish I could find the right words to say
Losing control and its over you
Nobody else could make me feel this way

Girl, we’ve been meant for this
Since we were born
No problems now (the coast is clear)
It’s just the calm before the storm

Hold me close to your heart
However distant don’t keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars
Hi Everybody, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that I have started an additional blog, which is non-80s related. I decided to write about life in Bristol, Rhode Island, so I gave it the clever name Life in Bristol. I will write about Bristol’s intersting history, and discover some shops, restaurants and attractions with my own personal touch.
I will continue to work on this blog as well, so Return to the ’80s will remain alive.
So, please check out my blog at http://lifeinbristol.wordpress.com/. As of this moment, there are 2 articles, Welcome to Bristol and My Friday Night in Bristol – Aidan’s Pub.
You can also Like the Facebook page of Life in Bristol, and you can follow me on Twitter at @LifeinBristol
Thanks!
Way, way before the iPad, our combination of high tech educational and childhood entertainment came in the form of Electronic Talk ‘n’ Play. You would pop a cassette in the machine, and it would read to you. It would also ask questions that you would answer by pressing one of the brightly colored buttons. Most of the books/cassettes were related to Sesame Street, the Muppets, and Fraggle Rock, as well as some Disney.
Or you could be a rebel, and throw an AC/DC or Metallica cassette in, and enjoy!
Here is a series of ’80s commercials. The one for the Talk ‘n’ Play begins at 4:31. This is the only video I could find about Electronic Talk ‘n’ Play on the web. But, you may have fun remembering some of these other commercials too:

Last Song: “Leave a Light On” by Belinda Carlisle:
Although I have to go
It makes me feel like crying
I don’t know when I’ll see you again
Bartender: He’s been struck by lightning… how many times has it been now, Reg?
Reg: S-s-s-s-s-s-s-six…
Chet: Six times?
Reg: S-s-s-six-six-six-six-six-six-sixty-sixty-six times. In-n-n-n-n-n-n-In-n-n-n-n-n-n-In-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n the head!
Chet: Sixty six times? God, that’s gotta hurt.
But, this was a trick question as he was struck once again during the thunderstorm towards the end of the movie.

Last Song: “Bad Reputation” by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts:
An’ I’m only doin’ good

An’ I don’t have to please no one
