1985 (song)

"1985" is a song which is best known as performed by the punk rock band Bowling for Soup. It is on the album A Hangover You Don't Deserve, and is a song about a person who is obsessed with the pop culture of 1985 after her plan to become an actress as a twenty-something back then is no longer, as pointed out in the lyrics. The song was originally written and recorded by the metal band SR-71, but that version is much less known.

The Bowling for Soup music video parodies famous videos from early MTV era, including Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" video, George Michael's "Faith" video, Whitesnake's "Is This Love" video, and directly parodies Mötley Crüe.

The song is quite popular among the pre-teen crowd, even though most do not know about any of the pop culture mentioned or parodied. A version with "PG-rated" lyrics is played on Radio Disney, where, for example, the line "one Prozac a day" is replaced with "one workout a day". The song/video is also popular with the generation of people currently in their 30s or early 40s as nostalgia for the pop culture of their youth, although the song makes no effort to imitate the style of the '80s.

There is an earlier song of the same name by Paul McCartney.

"1985" is also a song on the Manic Street Preachers' recently released album Lifeblood.
