The 80's Meme!

This is the first meme I have ever played. I guess this IS kinda fun after all. Now I see why Bud enjoys it...

1. MADNESS: OUR HOUSE“I remember way back then when everything was true and when we would have such a very good time, and such a fine time, a happy time”….
What is a funny memory of a parent, sibling or guardian in your childhood home?
I really don't have any belly laugh funny memories outside of my father's drunken escapades, but even those are more sad than funny.

2. MEN WITHOUT HATS: SAFETY DANCE “We can dance if we want to, we’ve got all your life and mine…as long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it, everything will work out right”…
What activity did you do that would be considered dangerous or reckless?
In the 1970s, I used to drink and dance all night at the disco, then drive home slightly drunk after having breakfast at 3am.

3. FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD: RELAX “But shoot it in the right direction, making it your intention…live those dreams, scheme those schemes, got to hit me, hit me, hit me with those laser beams”…
What was your dream job and what did you actually wind up doing?
I always wanted to be a rock n roll star, but I wound up being a DJ for 12 years, and a trumpet player all through school, so I came close. I now work in an office.
