The Lyrics

This was the year that changed the 80s.
It's the year from east to the west
It's the year that made the 80s best
It's the year of 1986

It's shaped up from New York to LA
Aerosmith and DMC walked this way
In the year of 1986

Ferris Bueller took a day off
Didn't barf or cough
And Wheel of Fortune loves Vanna White
I saw ALF and then Matlock
Bears won Lombardi
Mets won in 7
Don't forget Bill Buckner
Bon Jovi, Berlin, Whitney Houston

The year was hip on this time-warp trip
Like exploding the Challlenger ship
In the year of 1986

The year was hip on this time-warp trip
Beastie Boys and Madonna were all hits
In the year of 1986
In the year of 1986
In the year of 1986

You forgot the most important event of 1986: The revelation that Ronald Reagan betrayed America by selling weapons to terrorists. He also sold them to Iraq and the guys who became the Taliban, including Osama bin Laden. And you guys thought Clinton was responsible for 9/11.
