Tell Me What's the Word

[nightdog_barks]

The word, of course, is Word Up! by Cameo, and it's what I was listening to on Jack.FM in the car. And since who couldn't use a little funk with some power brass on a hot Sunday afternoon, here it is. Yes, chiclets, this is what a lot of kids who used to be your age were dancing to in the '80s.

And yes, that's Geordi LaForge (heh) as the police detective.

First I was all like, WTF? I was a kid in the 80s, and I have no memory of this. Then I noticed (on the page you kindly linked) that it's actually from 1986. Which means after I Became A Total Nerd in 1984. No wonder.

:-D

Yeah, I was 28 in 1986, so it's kind of a broad definition of "kid," but there you go. I don't remember when I became a total nerd. It's possible I was born one. Hee.

They used it in a lot of step aerobic classes I took back in the day.

Codpieces?

Funny girl! :D

It was a very odd class. :-)

I agree that nerds are born, but I started living as one full time when I began college. I quit watching TV overnight, and lost contact with fashion in music, dress and everything else.
And 28 is young (at least seen from me now).
