All Things 80's

Reminded of an 80's TV show that's been turned into a movie - The A-Team. Regardless of what the critics say, I'll probably see it just because it's the A-Team! How can it get better? Ghostbusters III is in pre-production and should be released next year and I've read the original cast has signed on. My kids hate that the 80's are back. Shirley and I know all the songs they are just now learning. So, here's some random 80's trivia.

1. What musician sang Footloose, Danger Zone and I'm All Right?

2. What movie produced the phrase, "Negative, Ghostrider. The pattern is full."

3. Axel Foley was Eddie Murphy's character in what 80's movies?

Here's some things to discuss. Forget the Rubick's cube, does anyone remember the pyramid? What about St. Elmo's Fire, The Breakfast Club, and Atari? Other than Pong, what was the first video game you played in the 80's? How about Eddie Murphy playing Buckwheat on SNL; you know, back when the show was funny! Anyone remember the first ten minutes of Full Metal Jacket? I have an mp3 if anyone wants a copy.

It was like totally awesome! Big hair bands ruled the airways and a particular haircut, referred to as business in the front, party in the back, was popular. What was it called? Hint: It's also a fish. Now we have American Idol, then we had Star Search. How about Sinbad, Sheena Easton, Dungeons and Dragons or Run DMC?
